Bluetooth Enabled Digital Camera
Posts: n/a which is capable of transferring pictures to a personal computer. So far, I only found the Sony DSC-FX77 camera which uses the Bluetooth Basic Imaging Profile and the Concord Eye-Q Go camera. Does anyone know whether there are more Bluetooth enabled cameras on the market? Thanks in advance! Ivo  Responses to "Bluetooth Enabled Digital Camera"

The Basic Imaging Profile (BIP) is not a Sony standard but an official Bluetooth specification, just as Dial Up Profile or the Cordless Telephony Profile. BIP has got 6 features: Image Push, Image Pull, Advance Image Printing, Automatic Archive Remote Camera and Remote Display. Epson has developed a BIP enabled printer which allows images to be printed directly from the camera: http://www.epson.co.uk/product/print...o935/index.htm With BlueSoleil software it is possible to transfer images from the Sony FX77 digital camera to any portable computer: http://ivtcorporation.com/products/b...subproduct.htm So don't blame Sony for using the newest technology! It will not take long before other companies start using the Basic Imaging Profile Ivo

Can i use the BlueSoleil software on top of the widely used widcomm software ? I've never seen IVT Bluetooth Cards on internet nor in any shop around, can you point me to where i can get one ? Does someone have a test report if IVT runs as stable as widcomm ? Greetings, Martin

BlueSoleil replaces the WidComm software. You use either Widcomm or BlueSoleil. This doesn't mean that you cannot use your Widcomm software anymore once you installed BlueSoleil. BlueSoleil supports several Bluetooth chipsets: http://ivtcorporation.com/products/chips/chips.htm It works fine with my MSI dongle. I don't have a lot of experience with the software, but as far as I know it is the only solution to send images from the Sony FX77 to a non-Sony computer.

The "official" Bluetooth protocol is not supported often but the "serial" profile (which I use also to synchronize my S55 with my Laptop). I thought about using the "bluetooth HID" profile which could be interesting using mouse ... but ONLY Microsoft is using that. The same with this profile. If they had started with OBEX for the transfer of pictures (maybe additionaly) then EVERY Bluetooth module would be able to transfer the pictures. Compare it with USB connectivity of cameras. First cameras had to use special programs or TWAIN. Nowadays nearly are just looking like an "extra drive". The only reason OBEX was not used is that they wanted to be as "closed" as possible in their SONY world. Wolfgang
Posts: n/a Re: Bluetooth Enabled Digital Camera Are you sure only Microsoft uses bluetooth HID? I thought the Logitech andApple bluetooth keyboards and mice used it as well. Certainly the Widcomm and Bluesoleil software can be used with the Microsoft mouse so it isn't a Microsoft-only standard.

In fact, BIP runs on top of OBEX. OBEX can be considered as the lower level service for BIP. When they only used OBEX, many features offered by BIP would not be possible (e.g. Automatic Archive or Remote Camera). BIP is not a Sony protocol and is not 'closed'! The specification is available at www.bluetoothsig.org. Ivo
