Abstract
A digital camera has output ports that are connectable by cables to an HDTV television. The camera generates a slide show viewable on the television screen. The slide show involves a sequence of images stored on the camera and audio stored on the camera. The slide show is supplied to the television in the form of an HDTV resolution video stream and an accompanying audio stream. A user selects one of a plurality of scenarios for the slide show. The particular scenario determines how identified images will be presented. Using camera buttons, the user can stop and start the slide show and can move a pointer on the television screen. A standard EVJ file that defines the slide show in accordance with a scenario is generated by the camera. The file can be played on any rendering device that supports the EVJ functionality so as to recreate the slide show.

17. A method, comprising:
-
using a first slide show rendering device to select a plurality of image files and a selected one of a plurality of slide show scenarios;
using the first slide show rendering device to generate a single file that contains the plurality of image files and that contains an amount of text that describes the selected slide show scenario;
transferring the single file from the first slide show rendering device to a second slide show rendering device; and
using the second slide show rendering device to read the single file and to translate the amount of text into image manipulation instructions, the image manipulation instructions being carried out by the second slide show rendering device such that images associated with the image files are displayed in accordance with the selected slide show scenario. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
