2.4.5 Devices for Data Transfer

The GVPE can transfer data from and to several devices. It is important to chose the correct cable and socket for each type of data transfer. Figure 2.4 shows the various options and the corresponding cables.

USB connectors The GVPE features two USB connectors. The upper USB connector is a high speed USB 2 mass storage interface. Use this one for fast communication between the GVPE and à computer. Copying is done from PC to GVPE's hard disk directly without involvement of the GVPES main microprocessor. Transfer speed can reach 20 MBytes/s in this way, provided the PC interface is as fast. For best operation, connect the GVPE directly to your computer and do not route it through à hub. Using a hub may sometimes lead to operational conflict and data Loss. The Lower USB connector is a USB 2 OTG (On The Go) interface. This interface is handled by the main processor. This port is used for = connecting the GVPE directly to a camera. In this way you can download pictures from the camera to the GVPE without having to remove the memory card from the camera. The camera's USB interface must be set to “Mass Storage Device” and NOT to “PTP” (Picture Transfer Protocol). = connecting GVPE to external USB hard disk. Use this to backup all files stored in your GVPE. In this case the GVPE is the “Master” and the external USB hard disk is a “mass storage device”. If you want to make a backup from one GVPE to a second unit you must connect the cable between the first GVPE lower USB port (Master) to the second GVPE upper USB port (mass storage device). = connecting GVPE to compatible PictBridge printers. Socket “Analogue audio/video out” This socket can be either used to connect the GVPE to a TV set or to use the earphones. ED GIGA Verre Use the supplied audio/video cable to connect the GVPE to a TV set. This is convenient for watching slide shows and movies. See chapter 5.3, “Screen & Video Settings” for selecting either the NTSC (mainly North America) or the PAL (e.g. most European countries) TV standard. Use the supplied headphones to listen to music via the GVPE. Socket “Digital video out” This socket is intended for connecting the GVPE to high quality flat panel TVs and computer monitors and beamers. Use the supplied digital video cable for connecting the display resp. the flat panel TV. The digital video output has a fixed resolution of 640 x 480 pixels (VGA, 60 Hz), i.e. the connected monitor or flat screen has to support this setting. PC monitors that only provide higher resolutions will not be able to synchronize with the GVPE. In this case the settings of the PC's video card have to be adjusted. Please consult the PC manual for further information. When presenting slide shows and movies using the digital video output the quality Level will be higher than ever seen before in Portable Storage Devices (PSD). Infra-red interface The infra-red receiver gets signals from the remote control. This will be used for music playback, video playback and photo slide shows. The remote control has 7 buttons in total with the following functions: - Play - Pause - Stop - Next - Previous - Volume Up - Volume Down

General Instructions After having switched off the unit, wait 1 minute before turning it on again. Do not bump the unit while it is powering up or down. Do not use the device on 2500 m (7500 ft) above sea Level or higher. The hard disc drive may get damaged when used at higher levels and this may lead to a loss of data. Use only the power supply that was delivered with the unit. Operating the device at another voltage or current than specified, may damage it. In order to prevent any Loss of data, the GVPE provides the possibility to backup the data to an external hard disk, such as the J0B0 mobile hard disk Giga One, via the USB-2-0TG connection. Buttons “Home”, “Back” and “Settings” Home Wherever you are in the menus of the GVPE, the “Home” button brings you back to the starting screen. This is convenient both if you want to start a new action or got lost in the menu structure. On the “Home” screen you can see the battery status (upper Left comer) and the amount of free disk space (upper right corner). Both data can be displayed as absolute values or as percentage.

The battery status indication expressed in % is rather accurate. The indication of the time Left is an estimation, because the power consumption of the GVPE depends on the kind of activity. For example, playing music files will consume much Less energy than playing video files via a TV or flat screen monitor. The time left is obtained by performing a calculation taking into account the battery status and the average consumption. It is provided for easiness but will be Less accurate than the % reading.

Pressing the joystick immediately deletes all your personal settings. This function will restore all settings to the factory defaults. This function will not remove any content such as photos, movies or music.

6 Data Import, Data Export and Disk Management There are several ways how to transfer data from or to your GVPE:

1. Copying data from or to a memory card.

2. Copying data from or to a computer using

the USB 2 connection.

3. Copying data from or to a computer

network using the WiFi connection.

4. Copying data from or to an external device

(e.g. camera, hard disk, other GVPE) using the USB2 OTG connection. Whatever device is chosen, it is important to know that the GVPE file management works with directories called “Albums”. There are “Photo” albums, “Movie” albums and “Music” albums. Any time you copy content from an external device to the GVPE, it will create à new album. You can rename and delete albums and you can move content from one album to another. If you connect the GVPE to à computer, all albums will show up as sub- directories. See chapter 6.2, “Copy data from or to a computer” for more details.

6.1 Copy Data from or to a

Memory Card The GVPE has a CompactFlash card slot that supports both Type I and Type II (MicroDrives) cards. Other cards like SD / MMC, xD and MemoryStick can be used with an optional adapter. See chapter 12, Available Accessories for more information. To copy data from à memory card switch on the

unit first and then insert the memory card resp. the adapter into the CompactFlash card slot. After a few seconds a screen as depicted in fig.

Copy Memory Card 19 Hard Disk Copy Onty Show Previews Nothing. files selected (7 MB) Fig. 6.1: Screen “Copy Memory Card to Hard Disk”. You can tailor the copy process to your needs by adjusting five options. Move the joystick up or down to select a function and move the joystick to the Left or right hand side to select an option. If the memory card is already inserted, you can always go to the copy screen by first going to the “Home” screen and then pressing the “Back” button. To start the copy action, press softkey 5, “Start”. During the copy process the device will provide detailed information on the copy process. The copy process can be stopped by pressing softkey 4, “Stop”. To leave there menu without copying any data, press softkey 1, “Cancel”

The GVPE will create a new album every time a memory card is inserted. The name of the n album is a combination of a standard prefix and a number. You can change the prefix an

EG IGA Vino size of the number. See chapter 5.2, “Device Settings” for more details Instead of creating a new album, you can copy the data from the memory card into an album already existing. Use the joystick Left / right to select one of the existing albums. The GVPE will copy all files, regardless of type, into this album. The files will automatically be saved in separate sub-directories called “Photos”, “Music”, “Movies” and “Data”.

For the copy process you may choose from three options. Use the joystick Left / right to select one of the options - Copy only: In this mode, the GVPE will copy all selected files - Copy and verify: In this mode, the GVPE will copy all selected files. Afterwards the GVPE will automatically start a verification process. This comprises a bit per bit comparison between the files on the hard disk and the files on the memory card. After completion a screen with statistics is displayed. Because all files have to be checked completely this takes about as much time as the copy process.

For the copy mode you may choose from two options. Use the joystick Left / right to select one of the options - Fast, no preview: This is the default value and it is the fa y to copy the data from the memory card Previews are not shown in this mode. In fast copy mode the complete memory card is copied. There is a progress indication but no previews are shown in this mode. To obtain maximum copy speed completely empty or re-format the memory card after each download.

In order to maximize speed, the GVPE will determine the memory card's speed grade before starting the copy process. Some media adapters designed for using SD or MS memory cards in CompactFlash slots may disturb this mechanism and as a consequence copying may be slowed down. In case you experience problems, use the “Show Previews” copy mode. - Show Previews: When you like to see the previews during the copying process, choose this option.

Itis strongly advised not to switch off the unit during copy actions. Doing so may corrupt the data structure on GVPE's hard disk drive. If the unit accidentally powers down during copying, carefully check if all files were copied and then run the disk repair utility (see chapter 6.4, section “Check Hard Disk for Errors”).

4. Action when done:

This function defines what GVPE will do after the copy action is complete. Use the joystick Left / right to select one of the four options. - Do Nothing: The GVPE will stay switched on and wait for user interaction. - Switch off: The GVPE will switch off when it has performed the actions defined in the “Copy Action” setting. This can be very convenient because you can leave the unit unattended and go on shooting pictures, for example. On your return you can power on the unit and check your data. - Beep: The GVPE will produce a beep at the end of the copy process. - Beep + Switch off: The GVPE will produce a beep at the end of the copy process and then switch off.

After copying, the GVPE can generate so called “cached views”. They can be helpful for the selection of pictures, because the pictures wilL appear on the screen without delay immediately after they have been selected. The caching process may take some time, especially when copying albums that contain many pictures. Use the joystick Left / right to select one of the two options. - No As default this function is switched off. No cached views are generated. - Yes Cached views are generated from every file that enables this action (e.g. JPEG, TIFF, RAW). Other file formats are ignored. As generating the cached views takes some time, it is advised to connect the GVPE to the mains using the AC power supply.

6. Softkey 3, “Select”:

The GVPE displays how many files are selected for copying. In case you will not copy al files, press this softkey to select pictures. You may tailor the “Select” process to your needs and copy files more selectively if wanted. See chapter 4.2, “How to select content” for possible settings and options After the copy process is completed, the GVPE shows the status on the screen. This will be shown only once so please check this before you press any button and proceed using the unit.

The GVPE only works with FAT32 formatted disks.

7.1 Some Remarks about File

Formats Cameras and computers can store photos in different file formats. Most use JPEG compression because this decreases the file size. As the JPEG compression process is an irreversible data operation, this compression is always related with a certain loss of data. Nevertheless, for the vast majority of applications, the JPEG format is sufficient and delivers good results. For professional or semi-professional photographers it is sometimes important to keep the whole information. Therefore some cameras provide the possibility to store pictures in RAW format. RAW files contain all the information that the camera's sensor recorded at the time of exposure, without any compression or post-processing. In many cases the RAW file also contains a scaled down “thumbnail” version of the picture. Due to their nature, RAW files are much larger and more difficult to process. Although GVPE can display most types of RAW files, there are limitations and not all features available for JPEG files can be used with RAW files: - In “Picture View” display mode, the GVPE wilL only display the RAW file's embedded thumbnail. In most cases this is not a problem as these thumbnails are large enough. - You can use the zoom function on RAW files. But depending on the amount of processing needed this may take somewhere between 30 seconds and up to a few minutes! = RAW files can be used in slide shows only when they contain an embedded JPEG picture.

- RAW files can not be rotated. -You cannot print RAW files from the GVPE. -You cannot add keywords to RAW files. -You cannot use RAW files for the “Dust Detection” feature. Pictures that were originally scanned or produced on a PC may be stored in TIFF format. Most of these files wilL be decoded. In case a TIFF file will not be decoded, the reason mostly is, that a computer program applied a proprietary compression to the file and stored the result in a TIFF file structure.

Each time you want to view a picture, the GVPE performs a number of actions. The file is read from the disk, then the JPEG file is decoded, rescaled to fit the screen resolution and finally color corrected to match the color space used by the camera (sRGB or RGB). Each of these steps takes some time. The higher the resolution of the camera and thus the larger the file, the more time it takes. The GVPE can however, if wanted, store the final result of all these manipulations on disk. For subsequent viewing the GVPE can load this “screen dump”. This increases the viewing and browsing speed considerably. This method is often called “caching”. There is no loss in viewing quality. The only drawback is that some amount of disk space is needed for storing the previews.

7.2.1 Generate Previews

There are two ways to generate cached previews: Automatic: a preview is generated automatically for each picture you view. For details see chapter 5.2, “Device Settings” for details. Manual: You can instruct your GVPE to generate previews for the current photo album.

To do this, follow the steps below: 1 Press “Home” bu 2 Press softkey 1, “Pl 3 Use the joystick u is highlighted. 4 Press softkey 5 05”. down until the album cached Views” is highlighted tick to select this option. hed views will be generated and the screen as soon as they are 8 When all cached views are generated, press softkey 5, “Done” and you return to the “Manage” menu:

7.2.2 Delete Previews

If an album is not viewed frequently, you can recover the disk space by deleting the previews without affecting the original files. To delete the previews of a special album, follow the steps below: 1 Press “Home” button. 2 Press softkey 1, “Photos”. 3 tick up / down until the album is highlighted. 4 Manage”. 5 / down until “Clear ews” is highlighted. 6 tick to select this option. 7 You will be asked v to delete the 8 To delete the files, press and you return to the “Manage” menu:

few options available. You can define them by pressing the “Settings” Button.

1. Overlay: In the upper left corner of the

screen some text can be superimposed on the picture. Use this entry field to select what you want to see there. The possible choîces are: No Overlay”, “File name”, “Date”, “Comments”, “Author”, “Description” or “Shooting Data”.

2. Color: Sets the color of the overlay text.

3. JPEG + RAW: Some cameras offer a

JPEG+RAW mode in which all pictures are stored in JPEG format and in RAW format. While browsing it can be annoying to see every picture twice. With this setting you can specify if you want to view only the JPEG files, only the RAW files or both

4. Softkey text: By default the softkey

prompts appear whenever pictures are shown. You can decide whether these prompts shall be seen by default or not. While viewing the photos, by moving the joystick up/down you can hide resp. show the softkey prompts.

7.4.1 View Picture Details

While viewing pictures you can use the softkeys for the actions displayed on the bottom of the screen as shown in fig. 7.3. creen in “View Pictures” mode. ED GIGAV se Softkey 1, “Zoom”: Zoom the picture. Softkey 2, “Info”: Check the EXIF data and keywords. Softkey 3, “Chann”: Have a Look at the single red, green and blue channels as well as the Black&White version. Softkey 4, “Levels”: À histogram illustrates how pixels are distributed. This is available for the full color image and for the red, green and blue channels individually. Zoom mode There are several zooming options. When entering the “Zoom” mode, the complete photo is shown. By moving the joystick up/down you can hide resp. show the softkey prompts. You can either press the joystick (enter) or the “Back” button to leave the zoom mode and go back to standard picture viewing. Fig. 7.4: Screen in “zoom” mode. The GVPE always starts with decoding the full picture and keeps in memory all available information. Zooming in, zooming out and panning through the picture are then just a matter of displaying the available information. The consequence of this method is that it takes a bit longer to get the first view but that aftenvards all other manipulations are rendered much faster.

This is advantageous compared to many other photo viewers. They start from screen resolution and then gradually zoom in using small steps, each taking some calculation time. Softkey 1, "Fit": This is the view whenever you enter the zoom mode. When you zoomed into a photo, pressing this softkey will scale the complete picture so that it fits on the screen again. The joystick can be used to switch to the previous or next picture. This is convenient if you intend to use the zoom function on subsequent pictures. Due to the fact that there is no picture buffering in this mode, viewing will be slower than in the normal “View Pictures” mode. Softkey 2, “Zoom -": Zoom out Softkey 3, “Zoom +": Zoom in Softkey 4, Full”: For à full resolution view. The upper left corner will indicate the zoom ratio. The GVPE uses the file dimensions as à reference rather than its own screen resolution. Zoom “Full” means that one pixel on the screen corresponds with one pixel in the file. ALL other zoom ratios are related to this. The upper right comer will indicate the position of the Lower right corner of the screen in relation to the complete picture. This is

helpful when special areas of a photo shall be identified to check them for their quality. Use the joystick to navigate and bring another area of the image into view. Softkey 5, “Pick Color”: Pressing this button will display a cross-hair cursor on the screen. Use the joystick to move the cross-hair along the screen. It reads the RGB values and displays them on top of the screen. In this mode, softkey 5, “Pan Zoom” will indicate the way back to a operation without cross-hair. Fig. 7.5: Screen in “Zoom” and “Pick Color” mode. Zoom Settings Pressing the “Settings” button will allow you to tailor the zoom function. There is only one option to be modified, that defines how to handle RAW files when zooming, The GVPE offers two ways of zooming in RAW files, “Use Embedded JPEG” or “Use Raw Data”. To understand the difference between these two modes you need some insight in how RAW files are structured. Contrary to JPEG, there is no standard defining the structure of RAW files. Every camera brand has its own format and even within one brand, files from several cameras can differ a lot.

APEG file RAW file Zoom options pion 1: Us PE prie Open 2: Le an data Fig. 7.6: Structure of JPEG and RAW files A JPEG file consists of 3 parts: à small preview image used as ‘thumb’, a part containing EXIF information (camera brand, exposure settings etc.) and the full resolution image stored in a way as defined by the JPEG standard. A RAW file always contains the data coming from the sensor dump. This means a full resolution picture in the camera's native RAW format. On top of that most RAW files contain à small JPEG preview image, mostly about 160 pixels wide. Optionally some RAW files also contain higher resolution JPEG preview images. These can be of any size up to full resolution. When viewing RAW files in normal picture viewing mode, GVPE will scan the file for JPEG preview images. The highest resolution JPEG found will be displayed. When zooming you have two options: Option 1: Use embedded JPEG: In this case the GVPE will use the embedded JPEG preview image. This means that zooming is limited to the size of the preview image which can be much less than the cameras resolution. The advantage of this option is speed.

ED GIGA Verre Option 2: Use Raw Data: In this case GVPE will use the full resolution RAW data to generate an image. Since RAW file decoding is very computation intensive this may take somewhere between 30 seconds and up to a few minutes for each zooming process. There may appear color differences between the two options, because RAW decoders running on personal computers offer a large amount of customization. Users can tweak parameters such as white balance, exposure, sharpening etc. to obtain the picture quality they want. Cameras use a specific setting for these parameters when they generate an embedded JPEG preview image. The GVPE also has a fixed set of parameters for this job and as à consequence there will be color differences between the two viewing options. Use the option “RAW" to check focus and details of your pictures but do not use it to judge color accuracy.

7.4.2 Show Info Data (EXIF)

When viewing pictures, you can press softkey 2, “Info”, to see some basic picture infos such as exposure time or focal aperture. The type and quality of data shoun depends on the EXIF-data produced by the camera. By moving the joystick Left or right you can view the infos for the previous or next pictures. Softkeys 1 to 4 allow you to view different sets of EXIF data related to exposure, camera and file. Softkey 4 shows the keywords connected to this photo.

7.4.5 Rotate Pictures

Sometimes the cameras do not include the information of the orientation in their EXIF data. If you want to turn a photo from “Landscape” to “Portrait” or the other way round, press softkey 5, “More” in the picture viewing mode. Then the softkeys get another function as shown in fig. 7.13: Softkey 1, “CCW": Rotates the picture counter-clockwise. Softkey 2, “CW": Rotates the picture clockwise.

You can print JPEG pictures directly from your GVPE to any PictBridge compatible printer. To print a photo, select an album from the “Photos” menu and press softkey 4, “Print”. You then have to connect the printer to the GVPE via the long cable, plugged into the lower USB socket. Fig. 7.17: Connection GVPE - PictBridge compatible printer. Connect the GVPE to your PictBridge printer and wait a few seconds. The GVPE will try to detect the printer. When the connection is successful the printer will return its capabilities. This includes the type and size of paper, the number of pictures that can be printed on one page etc. The printer will print all photos in the relevant album. If only a selection of photos shall be printed, press softkey 3, “Select”, and select the photos to be printed. See chapter 4.2 for selection advice. Adjust the settings to your needs and press “Start”.

You cannot print RAW files in this way because the PictBridge standard does not support it. PictBridge is a protocol that expects the devices to send JPEG files to the printer. It is the printer that first decodes the JPEG file and then prints it. Problems may occur with photos manipulated with photo editing software. Some printers may print them while other printers will generate an error message. Please keep in mind that that in all cases GVPE is just sending the files to the printer and has no control over the decoding.

Addendum1 A new software upgrade of the GigaVU Pro Evolution allows you to add metadata and keywords in a more convenient way. With a new function you can enter metadata in a template that is stored inside the units flash memory. Goto Photo>Manage>Edit Metadata template. You can enter metadata in the following fields: EXIF metadata EXIF : Image description EXIF : Artist EXIF : Copyright EXIF : User Comment IPTC metadata IPTC1 : Headline IPTC1 : Description IPTC1 : Keywords IPTC1 : Description Writer IPTC2 : Location Name IPTC2 : City IPTC2 : State/Province IPTC2 : Country IPTC2 : Edit State IPTC3 : Photographer (IPTC Artist field) IPTC3 : Photographer title IPTC3 : Job Identifier (IPTC Transmission Reference field) IPTC3 : Instructions IPTC3 : Provider IPTC3 : Source IPTC3 : Coypright notice Metadata can be added to photos in two ways.

1. When copying from memory cards to

hard disk an option can be selected to automatically add the metadata template to all imported pictures.

2. For existing albums go to Photo > Manage

> Add Metadata to Pictures. In this case you can select photos first and then launch à batch process to add the metadata

template to the selected pictures. Metadata is embedded in JPEG files only. For RAW files XMP sidecar files are generated. The meta data is added according to the IPTC standard. GigaVu also allows you to add a ‘Star rating’ to pictures. You can give each picture a one, to or three star rating while viewing them. Goto Photos and select an album. Às view mode select View Pictures’ to view pictures full screen. The soft keys are now labeled Zoom - Info - Chann - Levels - More. Press the More button twice. The soft keys now read 1 star - 2 stars - 3 stars - clear - more. Use soft key 1 to 3 to add a star rating . Use softkey 4 to remove any star rating. Star ratings can be stored in the IPTC: Urgency field, in an IPTC:Keyword_or in both. Use the ‘Settings’ button to tailor this to your needs. Where to Look for the metadata you added? The metadata added by GigaVu will be accessible by most photo viewer/ browsers. However sometimes the info is somewhat buried in the user interface. Here are some examples for frequently used programs.

The IPTC organization provides custom XML file info templates that can be added to Photoshop. You can use these for maximum compatibility. You can download them for free here: http:// wwwiptc.org/IPTC4XMP/ Please also read the accompanying documentation: http://awwiptc.org/std/IptcéxmpCore/1.0/ documentation/IpctéxmpCore_1.0-doc- ANcs1panelShareFix_1.pdf
