Digital Lightbox on your iPad or iPhone
Show the shots youve just taken with your digital camera to your clients on your iPad or iPhone. All you need is a photographic equipment which automatically transfers photos on a filesystem (NAS, server, PC, Mac, Smartcard with WiFi Modul etc...) with ssh or sftp connection.
The app retrieves your shots at specific intervals (1-30 sec) from network and creates previews on your iPad or iPhone for presenting them to your clients in the detail view. Copy the foto of your choice to the Camera Roll of your IOS device or add some notes and unmark a photo as nonrelevant. Each network connection including all downloaded fotos will be saved in a seperate profile on your IOS device. These profiles and fotos are also accessible in offline mode (without network connection) and can be deleted if required.
- Maximum photo size: 15 MB (photo which mor size will be ignored)
- File format: jpg, png, NEF, cr2
- Connectivity to NAS or network server: only SSH or SFTP
- Photo download only with activated WiFi (mobile network not supported)
e.g. how to enable SSH on Mac OS X:
To enable it, go to ‘System Preferences’. Under ‘Internet & Networking’ tab on the ‘Sharing’ icon. In the list that appears, check the ‘Remote Login’ option. This starts the SSH daemon immediately and you can remotely login using your username. The ‘Sharing’ window shows at the bottom the name and IP address to use.
Please note that some SSH/SFTP configurations only allow a limited number of simultaneous connections. Too frequent queries can result that your IP is blocked temporarily for this connection. Please set an appropriately refresh time interval for the SSH/SFTP lookup in the application configuration.
