Mom needs a tablet that can fit easily in her purse for taking photos whenever the occasion arises.
Dad also wants a tablet, but he’s fixated on having only one device for work and play.
Needless to say, meeting all of the technology needs of a family isn’t always easy. Everyone usually
wants something a little different. That’s why Dell this year launched a brand-new family of its own —
a full line of Venue tablets that differ in size, operating systems and capabilities.
In this e-book, we’ll break down the popular multimedia features to help you find the perfect match.
Whether it’s the low-profile Venue 7 backed by Android Jelly Bean 4.2 for mom, the photo fanatic,
or the deluxe Venue 11 Pro that runs a full version of Window 8.1 for dad, the power user — there are
options for all types.

Take photos, crop them and upload to the cloud all from Venue Pro tablets
k e y c a p a b i l i t i e s
• The Venue 11 Pro offers a 2-megapixel camera
facing front and an 8-megapixel camera
facing out. The Venue 8 Pro camera offers fewer
megapixels, but is easier to carry around.
• Storing and transferring photo files is simplified
with the availability of USB 3.0 on the Venue 11
Pro and USB 2.0 on the Venue 8 Pro.
• Each Windows tablet comes loaded with
SkyDrive, which offers each user a personal
cloud with 7 gigabytes of storage free. Since
SkyDrive allows users to upload directly to the
cloud, the files are accessible across all devices.
• Use the camera’s timer with a tablet stand so
you’re not always the person missing from the
family portrait.

The crop tool places white
dots on the corners of
photos that users can slide
up, down and across with
one finger to easily create
the ideal size.

k e y c a p a b i l i t i e s
• Capture your photo subject looking their best — whether it’s you or someone else — with a
2-megapixel camera facing front and a 5-megapixel camera affixed to the back.
• Make your photos accessible on all your devices by taking advantage of storage options with
PocketCloud 2.0.
• Take your photos with you with ample hard
drive storage — 16 gigabytes on the Venue 7
and up to 32 gigabytes on the Venue 8.
• Micro USB slots allow for quick file transfers
between your tablet and desktop computer.
• Hold your tablet in one hand and pinch the
screen with the other to zoom. Presets that
make adjustments for challenging shooting
conditions means more keepers and less
retakes.

Instagram has made it
fashionable to add effects to
photos. With the Android-
powered Venue tablets, you
can do the same without
leaving the gallery.

Intel processors in Windows 8.1 tablets make it possible
k e y c a p a b i l i t i e s
• Power users who need a tablet that can handle large multimedia files will likely turn to the
Venue 11 Pro as their device of choice. What’s more, users also have choice of processor, with
the Intel Core i5 being the top of the line.
• The power behind the Dell Venue 8 Pro is right on the heels of its Venue cousin. The Venue 8
Pro is equipped with the Intel Atom processor Z3740, which also delivers desktop-like
performance.
• A dual jack for microphones and
headphones gives the on-the-
road producer — or tech-savvy
family videographer — the
flexibility to edit and record from
one device.
• Trimming clips for editing only
requires a finger as users can
drag markers to designate
segments before clicking “save
a copy.”

This app does a great job
giving newbie shooters some
of the basic capabilities used
by professional editors. The
process involves selecting
one 60-second clip, writing
captions and adding music
that matches the moment.
When the “movie” is finished,
users can share directly from
the app.

Dell selected an Intel processor that is optimized for Android tablets
k e y c a p a b i l i t i e s
• Both Android tablets are powered by the Intel Atom Processor Z2580, which includes an Intel
Graphics Media Accelerator for realistic 3D-gaming experiences and HD video.
• The processor is optimized for Google Android, which means you can run CPU-intensive
video applications and know that the chip is managing power as efficiently as possible.
• Both devices support a dual headphone-and-microphone jack.
• Editing raw footage involves
sliding in-point and out-point
markers to where a clip should
start and finish and then
clicking “save.” The main
camera menu will then display
both the original footage and
clip that was just created.

This video-editing app han-
dles all of the tedious pro-
duction tasks by analyzing
footage and automatically
deciding where to cut and
splice. All users have to do
is select the video files and a
song they would like to use
as a soundtrack.

k e y c a p a b i l i t i e s
• Witness impeccable detail with 1080p HD
resolution on the Venue 11 Pro and 800p HD
on the Venue 8 Pro.
• Wirelessly stream HD video from the Venue 11
Pro to an HDMI-enabled television
for watching movies at home or giving a
presentation at the office.
• Wide-viewing angles on both devices allow
more viewers to watch brilliant HD content
at once.
• A dock sold separately by Dell for use with the
Venue 11 Pro allows plug-and-play
connections to external monitors.

Xbox Video allows users
to either rent or buy the
latest HD movies and TV
shows from their tablet,
PC or television. Buying a
Season Pass gives users the
convenience of automatic
downloads of new episodes
at the fraction of the price of
buying episodes individually.

Even the most portable members of the Venue family deliver HD content
k e y c a p a b i l i t i e s
• The Intel HD Graphics video card, which is installed
on both the Dell Venue 7 and Dell Venue 8, delivers
high-quality video despite the compact size of both
devices.
• For catching up on past episodes during the commute
or over lunch at work, the Dell Venue 7 is the ideal
device for video entertainment on the go. Less than
9.5-millimeters thin, this lightweight tablet fits just
as well on your lap as it does on a table in a crowded
lunchroom.
• Both tablets are equipped with Miracast, a wireless
display technology that lets you project whatever is
on the screen onto an HDTV with a Miracast-
compatible wireless-HDMI adapter attached.

Google Play allows users
to stream movies and TV
shows so they can watch
them instantly on any
Android device or via the
web. But content can also be
downloaded onto tablets in
anticipation of those times
when an Internet signal isn’t
available.

Windows 8.1 tablets can connect with headphones or with speakers across the room
k e y c a p a b i l i t i e s
• The Venue 11 Pro is one of the few tablets that supports near-field communication, which
means it can deliver audio and other signals to headphones, speakers and other accessories
that accommodate NFC.
• Both tablets are outfitted with Bluetooth 4.0, allowing them to sync with Bluetooth-enabled
speakers for great sound without wires.
• Xbox Music is where tunes are centralized on Windows 8.1 tablets. Users can create playlists,
stream radio stations and download new tracks. The music controls, meanwhile, are always
accessible at the bottom of the screen.
• The Dell Tablet Desktop Dock for the Venue 11 Pro adds audio capability that is ideal for online
meetings at the office or connecting with family over Skype.

This “social DJ app” trans-
forms tablets into portable
turntables by allowing us-
ers to mix and share tracks
stored in their music librar-
ies. The tools of the trade
include a crossfader and
abilities to scratch and add
effects like a real DJ. Remix-
es can then be shared via
Facebook and Twitter directly
from the app.

Integration with Google+ allows users to share free plays
k e y c a p a b i l i t i e s
• The Intel Atom processor that comes standard in the Dell Venue 7 and Dell Venue 8
includes Intel Smart Sound Technology, which produces quality audio while being stingy on
power for extended music playback.
• Venue 7 comes equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 technology that can sync wirelessly with
Bluetooth-compatible speakers.
• Users can buy new music and store up to 20,000 songs for free through Google Play.
Premium services include unlimited listening to millions of songs and “smart
recommendations” based on taste.
• Google Play also syncs with Google+
to allow users to share free plays of
songs and albums already purchased.
Google Play also keeps track of what
songs are shared with you in a playlist
for easy referencing.

This app functions as the
central control for your
home’s high-fidelity system
by delivering full-bodied
sound to wireless Sonos
speakers that users can
locate in multiple rooms.
It also connects with other
music apps, such as Spotify
and Pandora, so you can see
all your music options on a
single screen.
