Yeah .... mine has a PCMCIA slot in the back as well.
I'm sure the manual mentions something about it being for technical maintenance purposes only? |

PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association)
Some panels can handle around 8 different types of memory card, CF, MD, Magicstor, MMC, SD, SMC, XD, MS/MSpro, as well the CI Module for pay TV, which normally uses a different slot. This feature enables you to view JPEG files (photos) via the panel, some will even let you listen to MP3 files. Your manual should cover this feature if it has. |

I believe it's mandatory for any iDTV to support this feature.

If it is a Digital TV then the most likely use will be as a CI slot for something like a TopUpTV card for example

The TV you have is very unlikely to support pics through the PCMCIA slot.

The PCMCIA card slot is for a Conditional Access Module (CAM) to allow you to watch subscription pay-tv without having a STB.

Thanks i know what pcmcia stands for i am a geek, but my manual said nothing of it only mentioned it had the card slot, what type would i need for displaying photos etc.
If your display featured something like this it would more than likely be covered in the manual, but if it only mentions the card slot and refers to PCMCIA then this would be for a CI Module (pay TV). |
