Expand Photo Sharing Beyond Your Own Walls
The PhotoVu 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 picture 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 it.
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:
- Supports Apple® .Mac Web Gallery, flickr™, Frame Channel, Google™ Picasa™ Web Albums, and SmugMug™.
- PhotoVu AutoFeed™ Configuration allows you to configure Photo Feeds on your PhotoVu then send your USB Storage Drive to another PhotoVu user. Once they plug it into their PhotoVu, it starts to work immediately with no additional steps.
- PhotoVu SmartSync™ Support synchronizes with Picasa Web Albums, .Mac Web Gallery, SmugMug, and Frame Channel. If photos are added/deleted within an album, the changes will be reflected the next time 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.
- Real-time View allows you to see new photos first after the RSS Feeds are updated.

Customer Testimonial
“Over the past year and a half of owning my 10D I've taken a lot of pictures from our various trips, etc., but up until now I didn't really have a way to share the photos. Once I got the PhotoVu properly installed on the wall and hooked up to my computer via the wireless connection, all I had to do was turn it on and set up a few easy options. I was off and running, and my wife couldn't be happier! Now she can see all of the photos from the comfort of our living room. I have it set on random so we never know what will come up next. We've sat for long periods just staring at the pictures. We never would have done that with a photo album!”
