How to use gPhotoShow to build a digital picture frame - Part 6

 

Power Consumption

The mini pc alone running gPhotoShow with the dissolve transition consumes 2.3 Watts (with a 240 Gb SSD power consumption is 3.3 Watts). Using Pan & Zoom consumption raises to 6-7 Watts

The old Philips monitor consumes 22 Watts but newer ones may consume less than 20 watts

Cpu Usage

CPU usage and cpu temperature graphs measured over a period of 5 minutes.

Dissolve transition and image change every 30 seconds. The peaks corresponds to image changes
