However, Fuji xD photo card will not work. The photo viewer is very misleading. Since product is SanDisk, only their cards work in the viewer. It stated that was for modern digital cameras. Does not make exception. And the seller via Amazon denies selling to Amazon. Very bad experience.
Using this product and a GRANDTEC GVC-1000 Grand Video Console Video To VGA Converter you can output a flashcard to a LCD Monitor and have a digital picture frame. Note that this unit can't read from a camera, only from the top level, not from a folder. Create the images and edit them then number them, place them on the card, and display them.
A SDV-1A can't see subdirectories, so a 256mb or 512mb SD will only serve 360 files, my 360 pictures added up to 273MB, a 1gb SD still produced the same result. I have used one of these continously for a couple years, it has been very reliable. I have heard these are being discontinued, but since they are still for sale I'll pass along some information. Second issue, larger (3200 X 2400+) jpegs won't display. However it only works with FAT16 formatted SD memory. Important because of a limit of about 360 picture files that can be stored in a single folder/directory. It skips over them, along with some other smaller pics that I haven't guessed why yet. Still the SDV-1A is worth considering because as I understand it their new model doesn't have an s-video output port.
This unit had very good features for its' cost. Only negative is not being compatable with XD memory cards.
This is a great product to view your digital pictures on your TV, instead of cramming around your computer. Easy to setup, easy to use, can be a little slow at moving between pictures. Works great for grandparents to show off the grandkids.
