Wi-Pics Operations Manual
Wi-Pics TM was designed with the philosophy that photographers should be free to devote their time and attention to capturing great images, without being disk-jockeys or couriers for flash memory cards. Wi-Pics TM replaces a photographer’s CompactFlash™ storage card during digital image capture.
After Wi-Pics TM has been powered-on, it emulates the behavior of a typical CompactFlash™ memory card. Image files recorded by the camera are stored on an internal hard disk drive, or on supplemental CompactFlash™ storage cards inserted into the Wi-Pics TM unit by the user. When the software in Wi-Pics TM detects the recording of an image by the camera, the image can be transmitted to a remote workstation or server via the unit’s wireless or wired network interfaces.
Wi-Pics™ is a patent-pending network appliance designed to allow any Type II CompactFlash TM compatible digital camera to transmit images via wireless and wired networks. Use of Wi-Pics™ requires no modification of camera hardware or firmware, and does not impact camera buffer performance or battery life. What makes Wi-Pics unique from other wireless options is its data association.
Data association is the ability to rename files with critical search data at the moment of capture and to place that data into the EXIF header of a JPEG file. Wi-Pics™ solves the problem of moving images from Point A to Point B, while adding the capability to easily search and retrieve images directly after they are captured.
Wi-Pics™ provides photographers with connectivity to transfer their images instantly and automatically to a remote server or workstation, and simultaneously provides redundant backup image storage.
