While best known for their digital cameras, Kodak has set its sites on the high-def market with a suite of new products. Along with its new Zi6 Pocket Video Camera, the company recently unveiled the KODAK Theatre HD Player. The player connects to a household’s private Wi-Fi Network, allowing them to view images and high-def (720p) video on their television. The KODAK Theatre HD Player can also internet radio, podcasts and online video and photo sharing sites such as Flickr and YouTube.
Revolutionizing the way images and video can be enjoyed in HD, the KODAK Theatre HD Player is an interactive device that displays personal and web-based content on an HDTV, while wirelessly connecting to a household’s private Wi-Fi Network. Able to display HD still images (16:9 Aspect Ratio) and video (720p) on a HDTV, the remote operated KODAK Theatre HD Player lets consumers relive their favorite, and even forgotten, memories through a HD slideshow, as well as edit and upload images and videos to popular online content sharing sites.
Through unique partnerships with pioneers in photo sharing, such as KODAK Gallery and Flickr™ the KODAK Theatre HD Player provides consumers with easy and compelling ways to share pictures with friends and families. Additional partnerships with FrameChannel, a service of Frame Media, Inc., YouTube™ and RadioTime provide access to more than imaging content, offering an interactive and engaging multimedia experience. The KODAK Theatre HD Player is also compatible with USB drives and SD memory cards.
The KODAK Theatre HD Player is expected to ship in September for a suggested retail price of $299.99. Full details can be found here.
