Design, materials, management
Exterior frame RDF-1002 a very simple and not much different from other similar devices: a rectangular shape and a broad black border around the perimeter of the screen. In my opinion, the device was not enough of any decorative elements on the front panel - very primitive design.The body is made of a porous black plastic. If you turn Ritmix «face" down, the back of the attic poluvalmovy takes the form (to use the language of the building). The screen is protected with a thin semi-transparent plastic.So much press on the display is not necessary. Dimensions of the gadget - 275h186h27 mm and the weight is silent?The main controls and connectors are made on the back of the unit. On the right bottom is the slot where the pin is screwed (so that the frame can be placed stably on a horizontal plane), a little higher - kengsingtonsky lock, even higher (for the grid) are two stereo speakers. In the central area - a hole for mounting on a vertical plane.The left side is the control system: a power button, round stick with the "OK" button in the center and slightly below - the "Menu". They are all flat and recessed. Pressed with a force you can hear a distinctive sound "clicks."The left side were placed the following slots and connectors: to set the SD-memory cards, connect a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, USB, miniUSB, and nutrition. Supports "hot" replacement.In order to simplify the management of e-frame, the manufacturer took care about users and put the gadget in the scope of the remote control. He was appointed on such basic features as: Power On / Off, "Menu", Mute, copy / delete files, return back to the output settings, run a slide show, adjust volume, quick start videos or music, image rotation, and zooming it. In the center - a navigation system. Since the IR receiver on the RFD-1002 is located on the front panel around the edge of the left, then had to be sent each time the remote control to the left.
Display
The display is 10 ", physical size - 222h123 mm, the aspect ratio is not quite the standard for picture frames - 17:10. I'm not sure that this aspect had a positive effect on output images on the screen, because most of the photos is either 4:3, or 16 : 10. display resolution of 1024x600 pixels, the density of 118 pixels per inch. matrix is ​​made by technology TFT-LCD. viewing angles are average, tilted right and left, greatly decreases the brightness on my own - inverted colors themselves - slightly decreases the brightness. However, in Overall it is a good matrix, giving out quite juicy and vibrant colors. Pixelation visible but not conspicuous.In "System Preferences" There are a few points:

    
Brightness. Very high (250 cd/m2), an image can be seen even in sunlight on the screen, contrast - 500:1, response time - 20 ms.
    
Contrast
    
Saturation
    
Shade
The corners of the screen
Food
Digital photo frame is not able to be powered by battery or batteries, works only when you connect the AC adapter. Its output voltage is 5 volts, the current - 1500 mA. The power supply is small, therefore, not to press the other adapters that are inserted into the power strip or extension cord.In the setting of the parameters are Auto-power off and on: the time and mode (once, daily, "Monday through Friday" on the weekends).
The content of the menus and settings
Unfortunately, it looks as primitive as well as appearance. Downstairs there are medium-sized icons: "Image," "Music," "Video", "Calendar", "Files" and "Settings". Above them, the animation is displayed, corresponding to the selected items. The main complaint about the quality of the icons: the display with a resolution of 1024x600 it was possible to make them clearer and less "Chinese" ..."Image." If you choose this section appears on the screen slide shows. PhotoFrame can read the format «JPG» with a maximum resolution of up to 9000h9000 pixels. However, reading a long time, even 3000h2000 pixels.Options: view (slide show, thumbnail images, "one"), the display mode (insert, auto and full-screen), the time change of the image (from 5 seconds to 15 minutes), slideshow mode (random, "out of square the circle to the center "and vice versa," diamond "," distancing "," diverging circles "), the play mode (repeat, once by accident)," magic box "(simultaneous output of four pictures on the screen), a clock."Music". From below, a list of tracks, and on top of something like the album cover. When playing the timeline is displayed, you can rewind. Compositions must be written only in format MP3 (8 - 320 kbit / s, 8-44 kHz). The speaker volume is high enough to hear at a distance of three meters. In the headphone volume too high.Options: play mode (repeat, once by accident), the effects of music (jazz, standard, rock, pop, classic, soft music), to show range, automatic playback."Video". From below, a list of videos and thumbnails from the top - the video itself. The interface is present only rewind and volume control. The device "understands" formats MPG, AVI (DivX 4/5, XviD), and M-JPEG, audio codec which should be: MP3 and / or WMA. Maximum resolution - up to 1280x720 and 25 frames per second.Options: view (full screen, and the original size), the play mode (repeat once) autoplay (on or off)."Calendar". It has three styles. In the first case, the screen displays a monthly calendar, and the right - the pictures. In the second - huge analog clock with date, in the third - a digital clock, and the right - the pictures. Styles are switched by pressing the "OK" button on the remote control.Options: view (the same as that style), the format of the date, time, alarm status, alarm time, alarm mode (once, daily, "Monday through Friday" on the weekends)."Files." Above right shows the total number of files in a folder or in the root / flash / memory card, from top left to bottom - the folders and files
