Re: OT: Programmable digital picture frames for installation use



Hin

Have you investigated using another approach: using a "normal" screen 
and a small multimedia player hidden behind?
You would be able to display photos but also small prepared animations
(with the time transition you need) and even, perhaps synch several 
frames together if you replace the multimedia player by something more
powerfull in the future.

Just my 2c.
