Photos Overview

Your ix4-300d has multiple ways to manage your pictures.

Your ix4-300d can:

●Stream pictures that are in Shares with media sharing enabled

●Display pictures on the Home Page in a slideshow

●Automatically resize pictures

●Transfer pictures from your digital camera

●Upload pictures to social media sites like Flickr or Facebook

Streaming Pictures

The ix4-300dhas a built-in media server that, when turned on, can scan for pictures in specific folders that have media sharing enabled. Any pictures contained in these specific folders will then be accessible to any user on your network with a media player. For information on enabling a folder as a media folder, refer to Managing Shares on page 25.

Scanning for Pictures

The Media Server automatically scans for media content on a regular basis. However, you can click Scan now at any time to force the media server to perform an immediate scan for pictures. This is especially useful after you have created new folders with media sharing enabled and copied a large amount of media content to them.

Creating a Slideshow on the Device Home Page

Your ix4-300d can display a slideshow on its home page.

On the Home Page Settings feature page, check Display slideshows to display picture slideshows from folders on the ix4-300d. Click Manage slideshows to configure any slideshows you want to display. The slideshow location can be any folder attached to the ix4-300d, including a USB drive or DFS location.

Automatically Resizing Your Photos

A Photo Resize Active Folder automatically changes the size of photos in that Share to a set size. You can choose to keep the original photos added to this Share, while a resized copy is created. The resized photos are saved to a folder on the Share named by the photo size you choose, such as 800x600. To configure a Share as a Photo Resize Active Folder, access Shares from the ix4300d Management Console, select a Share, and expand the Active Folders section to enable and configure it.

Refer to Managing Shares on page 25 for more information on managing Shares and Active Folders.
