LAS VEGAS HILTON, BOOTH 30139 - (January 8, 2002 ) - AVerMedia® Technologies, Inc., the leading provider of Computer-to-TV conversion technology, today announced the release of the AVerFotoplay™ digital photo player. The device, unveiled today at the 2002 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, gives digital camera users, as well as their friends and family, an inexpensive and easy way to display pictures on a big screen television.

Available at a street price of only $79.99, and featuring a remote control unit and 16-picture preview, this clever new palm-sized digital camera accessory allows users to quickly and easily display digital photos on both TVs and LCD projectors.

The plug-n-play AVerFotoplay truly makes the sharing of digital photos simpler than ever before, as it doesn't require the use of either a digital camera or a personal computer. Instead, users simply need to insert a Type I CompactFlash or SmartMedia card containing photos into the unit, and then connect to a TV or LCD projector through a standard NTSC (RCA) or S-Video port. Unlike digital cameras that require users to stand next to the TV to scroll through snapshots, with the handy Remote Control, AVerFotoplay viewers can easily browse through and display pictures, or even locate a specific shot via the time-saving thumbnail preview feature.

The AVerFotoplay's support for up to 4M pixels or 2,400(H) x 1,800(V) resolution in JPEG (EXIF) format allows it to generate images of impeccable quality, making it ideal for use in displaying images captured by today's most popular consumer digital cameras. The unit also includes a 90-degree clockwise rotation feature to ensure that pictures will always be upright, and its 2x digital zoom and pan functions afford users the ability to view shots in even greater detail. In addition, the AVerFotoplay's convenient auto slide show feature effectively transforms it into a digital slide projector that allows users to simply sit back and enjoy the show.

"The AVerFotoplay is both very affordable and incredibly easy-to-use, which makes it a perfect solution for anyone that wants to view digital pictures in a large screen format," said Kathy Shih, Marketing Manager for AVerMedia. "It is particularly well-suited for family members and friends that are interested in sharing digital photos, but who do not currently own either a digital camera or a PC."

The feature-packed AVerFotoplay additionally offers sequential and random picture access, includes an On Screen Display (OSD) function, and supports gray scale image display. It has the flexibility to operate on either AC power or via batteries, features support for both the NTSC and PAL video standards, and also incorporates a built-in touch button control panel to simplify operation.

The AVerFotoplay is on display at the International Consumer Electronics Show at AVerMedia's exhibit, Booth #30139. The product is also available through national distributors, resellers and retail outlets.
