The Nextar digital photo frame displays your JPEG images as a rotating slideshow.
The Nextar 5.6-inch digital photo frame was released in 2001. It displays your JPEG images as a rotating slideshow. However, the frame lacks the polish, wireless connectivity and high resolution available in frames sold in 2011. Additionally, the frame is no longer offered for sale new from the manufacturer, so you will need to look for one for sale on the used market.
Resolution
The frame offers a resolution of 320 by 234 pixels. Over the 5.6-inch TFT screen, this yields roughly as many pixels-per-inch (ppi) as your computer monitor, which is also the normal resolution for a JPEG picture file.
Connectivity
Through various ports in the rear of the frame, the Nextar 5.6-inch digital photo frame accepts Secure Digital (SD) cards, MultiMedia Cards (MMC), and Memory Stick (MS) cards. The frame reads the cards to find the pictures on them and then displays them in a slideshow, which means you can take the card directly from your camera, put it into the frame, and see your images. Additionally, you can connect the frame to your computer via USB 1.1.
File Types
The Nextar only accepts JPEG files, which means that if your camera doesn't shoot in this format you will have to first convert the files on your computer before they can be played on the frame. Also, the frame will not display images that are over 10 megapixels.
Other Specifications
The Nextar 5.6-inch digital photo frame runs on a rechargeable battery which is charged by connecting a 12V AC adapter from a wall outlet to the frame. The full size of the frame is 9.36 inches by 7.08 inches by 0.94 inches and it weighs 1.8 pounds. When displaying images in a slideshow, the transitions are chosen automatically. The screen has a 4-3 ratio, which is the same format as a television, a brightness of 150 candelas per square meter (cd/m2) and a contrast rating of 250.
