8- Inch Frame with Scanning Function Converts Prints to Digital Files

LiteOn IT, a world leader of optical storage solutions for PCs, is introducing its first consumer electronics product under Skyla, its new consumer products brand. Memoir is the first digital photo frame in the market to integrate a built-in scanner for converting conventional photo prints to digital files. Memoir is a perfect solution for those who have prints stored in drawers and shoeboxes to enjoy the fun of scanning them directly onto the digital photo frame and sharing them with friends and family. Memoir is the first consumer electronics product introduced under the Skyla brand.

Memoir allows consumers to scan prints up to 4x6-inches to create a digital file directly onto the digital photo frame’s 1GB internal memory for instant playback on the photo frame’s large 8-inch display screen. In addition, users can transfer the digital files directly to a USB drive, CD or external hard drive for safe keeping and archiving. The Memoir scanning digital photo frame will be available at retail outlets nationwide late December and suggested list price is $219.99.

“The LiteOn brand is internationally recognized and respected in the computer and optical drive markets,” says Michael Ostwind, Director, Sales & Marketing, at LiteOn IT. “We separated our consumer and optical Divisions to dedicate efforts toward creating products to meet specific consumer demands and maintain consistent quality and world class services. Memoir represents the first of many consumer electronics products we plan to introduce under the Skyla brand. Memoir, with its built-in scanner, exemplifies LiteOn’s commitment to producing innovative products to help consumers share and preserve precious memories of their life,” Mr. Ostwind added.

Memoir is a beautifully-designed 8-inch digital photo frame featuring an 800 x 600 screen resolution and offering up to 600dpi scanning resolution for prints up to 4x6-inches. Its 1GB internal memory can store up to 200 4x6-inch prints or 400 3x5-inch prints at 600 dpi. It includes a 5-in-1 card reader compatible with most memory card formats such as CF/SD/MS/MMC/xD, and two USB ports for PC / USB flash drive connections, allowing users to view digital images on those media as well as to back up scanned photos from the internal memory. The digital frame can also play back MP3 music files, Motion JPEG, MPEG1 and MPEG4 video files.

Additional features of the new Memoir digital photo frame include digital matting, programmable On/Off feature for power saving, a built-in Light Sensor that adjusts the brightness of an image for optimum viewing, auto image rotation, clock/calendar & picture slideshows option in four-quadrant view, and more.
