Kodak expands digital photo line

Article Abstract:

Eastman Kodak Co introduces professional versions of the Photo CD system that was originally announced in 1990. The new system allows pictures to be taken with a regular camera with film negatives that transfer to optical disks for output on optical disk players. The pictures can also be displayed on televisions, computer terminals and can be transmitted over telephone lines. The new products can record text and sound in addition to pictures. Kodak suggests that companies can use the Photo CDs to record catalogs, store X-ray medical images and other forms of visual data. Kodak released the disk players in June 1992 and will implement a heavy marketing plan for Christmas. The consumer compact disks store 100 35-millimeter photographs. Larger images can be stored, but fewer pictures will be held on the disks.
