Sharing photos with friends and family is easy thanks to sites such as Facebook and KODAK Gallery. But digital photo frames have remained isolated from this fun, condemned to sit on your mantelpiece showing slideshows of old holiday snaps. Not any more.
With both Wi-Fi and its own email address, the KODAK PULSE instantly pulls photos from Facebook or KODAK Gallery and receives emails directly to the frame, bringing them to life on the stunning 10” touchscreen.
The Reviews Are In
"It's incredibly easy to use - a solid leap ahead of most of its rivals – with the simple touchscreen offering great benefits" WebUser - Oct 2010
"Kodak's pulse range has been designed to make displaying your photos as simple as possible, something it does with aplomb" MacWorld - Dec 2010
“It’s killer feature, though, is that you can email photos directly to it as can anyone else you give the address to” Stuff Magazine – Jan 2011
The perfect gift
The KODAK PULSE ’s superb connectivity makes it the perfect gift for a relative or friend, even if they live on the other side of the world. Just connect the Wi-Fi enabled KODAK PULSE Digital Frame to your wireless network; and your PULSE digital frame is ready to automatically receive a steady stream of new pictures from everyone in your life. You won’t be slowed down with time-consuming software set-ups or complicated technology, and your picture collection will automatically be kept up-to-date.
Link to friend’s photo albums on Facebook
It’s simple to view Facebook albums using a KODAK PULSE : just tell it the names of the accounts you want it to check and it will automatically refresh the photos it displays whenever new ones are added.
It’s like receiving an unexpected gift, every time you touch “Play Now” on the touch screen after you receive notice that new pictures have automatically been sent to your PULSE display and are ready for viewing.
The photo frame with its own email address
You don’t even need a computer to send photos to a KODAK PULSE: once you’ve selected your favourite snaps, just email photos from your smartphone to the frames unique email address, and they’ll get a message to say new snaps have arrived. A mere touch of the screen later, and they’ll be enjoying photos of your skiing trip before you’ve even got back to the chalet.
It’s that simple. And with 512 MB of internal memory you can store upto 4,000 pictures (actual storage capacity will vary based on picture content.)
Comment on a photo
With so many new photos popping on screen, wouldn’t it be great to send some comments back to the sender. The new Quick Comment feature allows you to communicate directly with picture senders – without the need for you to log onto Facebook via a computer. Choose from 12 popular messages on the touchscreen display. For example, choose “LOL” and it will appear as a comment on a FACEBOOK picture, or be sent as an e-mail to the picture sender.
Full touchscreen simplicity
Your pictures will look great on the large, bright, 10.4 inch (26.4 cm) high quality touchscreen TFT active matrix LCD display. KODAK Colour Science technology is built-in for brighter more vibrant details. The intuitive touchscreen makes it easier on the eyes to setup, play and add comments to your pictures right on the KODAK PULSE digital frame.
Intuitive touch actions make navigation a breeze and greatly reduce the number of frame buttons for a classy sleek frame surround. Once you touch the screen, viewing, deleting, and searching your picture/video collections can all be done on the touch screen.
See the difference with Kodak Colour Science Technology
Only Kodak digital picture frames use Kodak’s patented Colour Science Technology. You can really see the difference with richer colors, sharper details and more natural skin tones. Kodak scientists have used over 100 years of expertise in imaging science to produce great looking pictures every time. Advanced colour balance and digital colour management technologies tune each image to the unique characteristics of every LCD panel in every single frame for optimal colour reproduction. Through an understanding of human vision, Kodak Colour Science takes into consideration how light interacts with objects and even matches the colour temperature of the sunlight to reproduce exact colours, rich dark shadows, crisp highlights and more natural skin tones. Thanks to this unique technology you can enjoy your pictures just as you remember taking them.

Easy to stay up to date
Get the pictures you want when you want them— www.kodakpulse.com is your online control center to remotely manage your frame. Once the 3-step setup is complete, PULSE will automatically alert you when you receive new pictures from friends and family, and you’ll automatically receive updates to photo albums on Facebook and KODAK Gallery sites, so you’ll see new pictures on your frame as soon as they’re posted.
For a more traditional way of uploading photos the KODAK PULSE works with all common memory cards SD, SDHC, xD, MMC, MS, MSPro, MSPro Duo and even USB sticks. You can also customize your display, set up transition times, slideshow styles, and create picture playlists that you can choose right from the touchscreen.
The new Playlist feature is a great way to showcase holidays, birthdays and more. Simply visit www.kodakpulse.com to create a playlist, then easily drag-and-drop pictures into custom albums, then play them on your display with a single touch.
Ultra low power consumption
KODAK PULSE Digital Frames are ENERGY STAR® qualified. The new energy-saving activity sensors turn the frame on when light and sound are detected in the room. When low levels of light or sound are detected, the sensors turn off the frame. You can disable activity sensors if you prefer.
Another great money saving feature of KODAK PULSE is the Energy Saving Time Settings. Rather than leaving the frame on for long periods, the frame allows you to manually set specific time periods to turn on or off. For example set the frame to turn itself on at 8AM in the morning and off at 10PM at night. Both of these settings are fully programmable when you go to your www.kodakpulse.com account.
Simple to use touch screen controls
Once PULSE is setup, it will run and update on “auto-pilot”, but if you’d like to change your viewing experience that’s easy to do using the full touch screen to access the following options:
- Play start or resume a slide show
