Once stored, image collections can be selected with ease courtesy of a remote control unit with the resulting slideshows being output via HDTV or HDMI units to a suitably captive audience.

The Sony HDMS-S1D Digital Photo Album, which also comes with basic image manipulation tools as well as the ability to create slideshow transitional effects (complete with your choice of backing music, should you wish) as well as face detection technology enabling transitions around faces – though we’re not sure as to whether this would look particularly impressive in practice.
