Loaded with features such as NaturaTone user-selectable color modes, auto frame orientation (it knows if it’s displaying horizontally or vertically), an MP-3 player and a 2GB memory storage payload, the PF730 lets you view photos full-sized or as thumbnails. In other words, it gives you options—and an MP3 player so you can listen to music while your images are running.

Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend), a worldwide leader in storage and multimedia products, recently introduced a stunning new 7-inch Digital Photo Frame, the PF730. This elegant photo frame not only displays photos brilliantly, but also contains a wealth of useful functions that add extra convenience to any digital lifestyle.

Great Looks and Advanced Display Features

Transcend’s new 7-inch PF730 Digital Photo Frame boasts a gently contoured shape with a simple yet elegant embossed pattern that makes it a perfect addition to any office, bedroom or living room décor. Aside from its pleasing appearance, the PF730 is amazingly adept at displaying photos and is able to read high-resolution JPG images taken with any digital camera at virtually any resolution—no resizing or adjustment is necessary. Users can choose to view photos one at time, in customizable slideshows, or in a convenient tiled thumbnail view. Additionally, the PF730 has a bright, high-resolution (800×600) photo-friendly 4:3 screen, advanced NaturaTone user–selectable color modes, and an Automatic Orientation Sensor (AOS), all of which enhances the viewing experience and guarantees photos look their best. With a full 2GB of internal flash memory, users can preload their entire photo collection onto the PF730 for sharing precious moments with friends or family. The PF730 supports most mainstream memory cards including SD, SDHC, MMC, and MS, plus it also features a conveniently-located USB port for plugging-in USB flash drives. Slideshows can be customized with variable image sorting, transition effects, attractive frame borders and fun animation themes that capture the attention of viewers and create a lasting impression.

An Entertaining Frame of Mind

The PF730 is much more than just a standard picture frame. Designed from the ground up as a true multimedia device, it functions as a full-featured MP3 player which allows users listen to music while viewing photos at the same time, and can also be used as an alarm clock. The PF730 is fully equipped to play back movies and video clips, and supports full-motion 30fps video playback. For extra convenience, the photo frame includes an attractive clock and calendar with options to mark important days—such as a loved one’s birthday—with helpful reminders.

With a simple and classic exterior design, 7-inch ultra-bright screen, and a host of value-added functions, Transcend’s new PF730 Digital Photo Frame is an ideal device for showing-off photos and videos. Not only it is a great way to add a bit of fun and contemporary fashion to any room or office, but it also makes an elegant gift for friends or loved ones. For further peace of mind, Transcend’s digital photo frames are all backed by a two-year warranty along with the comprehensive support of its industry-leading global service network.
