Expand Photo Sharing Beyond Your Own Walls

The PhotoVu wireless digital photo frame was designed with one idea in mind...the enjoyment of ALL your photos regardless of where they are located. Several years ago, we started by displaying photos using the local network or a USB Storage Drive. Next, we were the first to add integration with leading photo management software programs like Apple® iPhoto™ and Google™ Picasa™.

Today, you can access photos on the Internet and tap into a wide variety of content using your digital frame. This includes public photos as well as postings from your friends and family. We've always known the Internet was the final destination for the PhotoVu. Once you setup your PhotoVu RSS Feeds, everything is automatic so just sit back and enjoy!

What is RSS?

RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication and is commonly used in the news gathering world. You might already use a RSS News Reader today or the one integrated into your web browser. Typically, when you see the icon on a web site, it means you can access public information (or photos!) by subscribing to the RSS Feed.

What is unique is the PhotoVu's special set of technologies that allow you to easily and automatically access content on the industry's leading photo sharing portals. Now you can enjoy all of your photos...even the ones that friends, family, and others post on the Internet!

Internet Sharing Features:

• Direct support of Apple® MobileMe Gallery, flickr™, Frame Channel, Google™ Picasa™ Web Albums, Photobucket, SmugMug™, Webshots, and Windows Live™ FrameIt.
• Compatible with most RSS feeds that support the RSS Media or Enclosure tag. Or, you can also develop and use your own RSS photo feed!
• PhotoVu SmartSync™ Support synchronizes with your online photos. If photos are added or deleted within an album, the changes will be reflected the next time the RSS feeds are updated.
• Set times to play your digital frame feeds using the scheduling feature.
• Automatic Image Sizing using PhotoVu SmartResize™ to optimize each photo for full screen display.
• PhotoVu Real-Time Vu™ allows you to see new photos right after the RSS content is sync'ed. Great for time sensitive information like weather or breaking news!

The PhotoVu wireless digital photo frame provides industry leading support for the entire Apple® platform. In fact, the PhotoVu is the most compatible Mac digital picture frame on the market! Whether you use Leopard, iPhoto™ or MobileMe, the PhotoVu is the easiest and most powerful way to display your digital photos.

Mac Compatibility

The PhotoVu digital frame is compatible with both PowerPC and Intel platforms. In order to take full advantage of your Mac, Leopard (10.5.x) or greater is recommended. Once you enable File Sharing on your Mac, the PhotoVu will be able to see your user account folders. For most customers, this is where your Pictures or photos are stored. The PhotoVu wireless digital frame uses "Photo Directories" to identify where your photos are located on your Mac. This is the simplest and easiest way to access your photos.

iLife and iPhoto Support

For most Mac users, using iLife and iPhoto is just part of the photo taking process. If you work on your "photo hygenie" today, you will save yourself a lot of frustration down the road! if not, you'll have 10's of thousands of photos stored on your Mac years from now and no way to find and display the pictures of your first anniversary, your daughters fifth birthday, or the last vacation you took.

Using our iPhoto integration and built-in web administration program, select one or more iPhoto album types then tell the wireless digital picture frame to display just those pictures. As you update the iPhoto albums on your Mac, you will automatically see the changes on the PhotoVu when it rebuilds it's play list. You'll also be able to enjoy a lifetime of memories by playing your entire iPhoto collection!

MobileMe and RSS Feeds

When it comes to sharing photos over the Internet, there isn't a wireless digital photo frame that does it better than PhotoVu! Just upload an album from iPhoto to MobileMe, make sure it is shared, then tell the PhotoVu it's location. Using RSS Feeds from MobileMe, the PhotoVu will automatically retrieve and display your images. When you update your photos on MobileMe, PhotoVu SmartSync™ will update the photos on your digital frame. It's that easy to access photos from family and friends!
