Digital media application provider Roxio today announced the release of photo imaging solutions based on Roxio PhotoShow, the company's platform for creating and sharing slideshows, one of which will be rolling out in retail photo kiosks later this quarter.
Roxio, a division of Sonic Solutions, introduced a software development kit (SDK) aimed at the rapidly expanding retail photo kiosk market, called the Roxio PhotoShow SDK, which can be quickly integrated into retail photofinishing kiosks. The Roxio PhotoShow SDK allows kiosk users to produce one-of-a-kind slideshow DVDs in minutes that can be viewed on the PC or on a TV via a set-top DVD player.
The Roxio PhotoShow capabilities will be available later this quarter as part of Lucidiom's Automated Photo Machine (APM) kiosks. Lucidiom has more than 58,000 APM photo kiosks in use worldwide.
"Lucidiom has been a pioneer in the development of brand-independent digital photofinishing systems that enable retailers to develop in-store revenue streams beyond standard prints," said Lucidiom president Steve Giordano, Jr. "Partnering with Roxio enables us to further extend the features of our Lucidiom EQ with capabilities that empower consumers to express themselves through images while at the same time helping expand photo merchandise opportunities for our partners."
