The ePOINT PhotoGenie Retail Photo Terminal marks a breakthrough for interactive, selfservice, digital photo processing with an attractive, easy to use, compact design that offers excellent performance and outstanding value.
Unpack and switch on for the easiest, low-cost route to the exploding market for digital photo processing. Use camera cards, Bluetooth phones, or USB storage devices, and view, select and print. Just add a printer for instant printing. Or add a comms line for off-site printing, photo storage and photo email.
Want to make a photo kiosk?
You’ll need a camera card reader. And since camera card technology is undergoing frequent change, you’ll want a reader that’s upgradeable, by end-users preferably, since that keeps everyone’s costs down. You need the Digital Media Processor.
Maybe you want your kiosk to take money, in notes, coins or by credit card? Check out the Cash Device Processor Hub.
Thinking ahead to developing a kiosk that enables people to download music and movies to the media card of their personal players and phones? The Digital Media Processor can also write to media cards, but, only under application control. That’s crucial, when you’re processing data on media cards. The ePOINT Digital Media Processor keeps writes under complete control, even under the covers writes from the operating system. Check out the full story on media card protection.
Finally, we haven’t forgotten the software connection. Our Universal Device Manager provides a complete Application Programming Interface that provides a consistent, simple interface to enable applications to communicate with kiosk devices. The Universal Device Manager also de-couples devices from applications, which means that devices can be changed without impacting the application.
GOING DIGITAL
Fuelled by massive growth in digital camera sales, demand for digital printing services is increasing every single day. Now is the time for you to take a share of this opportunity.
Getting started is easy – all you need is the ePOINT PhotoGenie and your customers will soon appreciate that the easiest place to get great quality digital prints is from your store.
ePOINT DIGITAL MEDIA PROCESSOR
The high-speed memory card reader is purpose-designed for self-service use, with programmable LED’s for user guidance. The reader is software-controlled so that changes made by the camera manufacturers to card operation or format can be incorporated through a simple software update, protecting your investment well into the future.
PICTURE PHONES
PhotoGenie’s optional built-in Bluetooth and Infra-Red enable you to tap into another fast growing source of processing revenue from mobile phone users, who simply point their new picture phone at the PhotoGenie for wireless transfer of digital photos.
READY FOR BUSINESS
Customers can pay for their prints at the cash register, or PhotoGenie can be enabled for payment transactions by adding a receipt printer and external card reader (including chip ePOINT Digital Media Processor & pin support).
Touch Display Model 1: 15.1" TFT 1024x768 (XGA), 350 Cd/m2 brightness - Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Touchscreen with Anti-Glare coating and 6mm shatterproof glass
APPLICATION READY
PhotoGenie can ship with the ePOINT Universal Device Manager preinstalled. The Universal Device
Manager is middleware that connects applications to kiosk peripherals through a simple and consistent Application Programming Interface (API). The API provides a standard command structure for controlling peripherals and devices that have non-standard or varying command
sets and protocols, reducing the development cycle of interactive kiosk applications.
This new standard frees developers to choose peripherals and devices that are the best for the job, not because their command set fits the application. The benefits from device independence extend beyond machine design to maintenance and support, allowing non-application intrusive device upgrades or replacements, and remote device firmware upgrades and testing, while reducing overall onsite engineering costs.
