Parrot Specchio frame design

by admin ·

We walk around with a now almost all digital cameras, also in our phones. This produces a snapshot on. Then we write that way to a disc, to then hardly have to look at. Digital picture frames are considered one outcome. Parrot and of these mirror-like list even further.

We shoot thousands of photos every year. But what do we do it? It is impossible for them one to (let) pressure, and moreover thick photo albums do not really outdated. Today show your photos on the screen of your PC or laptop. Whether you put them on a digital photo frame, so everyone can admire them in the living room.

Cumbersome

Most lists have in any case has its own memory, which you certainly hundreds if not thousands of pictures can fit. If that is not enough, then many of these lists also with USB sticks and memory cards, so storage capacity is actually infinite.

But still … It often remains a cumbersome operation, your digital prints manually transfer them to the list or memory. French Parrot Bluetooth wizards to have what it found: they made the Specchio – either the Parrot by Martin Szekely – a giant picture frame handy, thanks to the design of designer Martin Szekely also further claims admiring glances. All can add quite a bit in the pockets for that design: with 350 euros it is certainly not for everyone.
Dual

But to agree with that design to start: the frame is very minimalist design, but plays a double role. The glass for the screen – which was also pulled by the “frame” – reflects a storm, when the device is off. And we mean it not in the annoying way, as we often see in glossy laptop screens, but functional. Is the frame, then it is a mirror.

That makes the Parrot by Martin Szekely a picture anyway. A functional image, you probably know. A disabled frame usually appears downright dull. In this case on your desk or dresser that is not the case: you can just see if your hair is and update your makeup before going towards the door uitsnelt an important business lunch.
Sharp Adaptor

The outer edge is very minimalist yet beautifully designed. Even the connection of the adapter is considered. These sticks straight out the back of the device. A right rod bearing in a hole screws, electrical wire so that also serves as the default immediately. Some downsides are the curly cord – that difficult to work out of sight – and the sharp adapter.

Although the actual ‘screen’ only about 6.25 inch measurement, we got the impression that this was too small. Now we see when playing the pictures have to spend another mirror. Even we found this not disturbing, but it’s something you may find annoying. Fortunately, the images more crisp, thanks to the good resolution of 720 by 480 pixels.
Wireless transmission

Besides exif jpeg files and the list can also handle 3gp movies. In other words, the videos you’ve recorded with your cell phone are good to play. You can also list as stylish clock or alarm clock.

But the real functionality lies in the photo-transfer. Of course you can list SD card into the stabbing. And of course there is also a slot for USB sticks. But many other lists do not have is the ability to take photos in several ways to send wirelessly to the frame.
E-mail

This may in Specchio both via Bluetooth and via Wi-Fi and NFC. To take this last opportunity to kick: NFC stands for Near Field Communication. Some phones like the Nokia 6216 Classic, possess this technology. You can therefore in this case photographs testify to the list on the phone simply close the account list.

The Bluetooth feature speaks for itself. You have a cell phone or laptop with pictures on it, does it connect to the Parrot, and voila: you can use your pictures wirelessly to send the list. WiFi option might include use of e-mail. The digital frame has its own email address. In a moment you let the device connect to your wireless network, and you – from anywhere – photos to the device you mail. But through the Specchio WiFi also photos showing photo sites like Flickr and Picasa, and may he shared photos Winows or Mac computers.
No touchscreen

The clear menu is certainly a good help. Unfortunately you can Parrot by Martin Szekely only serve to push buttons on the back of the appliance. Although these buttons are designed smart – with additional buttons and a long way enter button in the middle – was the list of touch-screen controls still have a lot more complete.

The Specchio is a gem of a picture frame. The fully mirrored front makes this a valuable device really smart thing on your desk or in the living room. It is the mirror image full functionality, you will not soon in other digital photo frames will aanntreffen. That this beautiful ‘Parrot by Martin Szekely “is not equipped with a touchscreen is a bit unfortunate. But apart from that, creates high-end design wonder your pictures on a very easy and ingenious way to life – at least if you’re not averse to a bit of reflection.
