Pictures are automatically converted to a wide screen format
Picture are automatically scaled down (also large digital photos with e. g. 7 megapixel are read
and displayed)
Picture and music files are alphabetically assorted and played back (see: storage of the pictures)
The TV output standard is PAL

Storage of the pictures
Start a new folder on the hard disk of the computer to store the created pictures. Never don’t overwrite
the original files (especially pictures) during the processing. Because a JPG is a compacted format, a
repeated storage with overwriting causes a loss of the quality or to a total loss of the picture! Another
reason for a separate folder is the arrangement of the sequence at the playback. The MIK 9-S plays back
the created files in alphabetical order. So it is possible to realize a corresponding order.
A simple example shall it display (keep attention to “pre nulls”):
example example
picture0002.jpg flying.jpg picture2.jpg
picture0003.jpg summer.jpg picture202.jpg
picture0202.jpg sport.jpg picture203.jpg
picture0203.jpg winter.jpg picture3.jpg
etc. etc. etc.
Keep attention to the changed sequence in example 3 by the notation without nulls.
The same takes place at all other data formats too.
Now insert the memory card of the MIK 9-S into the corresponding card slot of the computer. A new disk
drive is seen. The created files you have to copy to this disk drive without to start a folder – thus into the so
called root directory.
example 1 2 3
picture0001.jpg bathing.jpg picture1.jpg
………
Creating of picture
For creating and storage of the suitable data on the memory card a separate computer with a suitable
software is necessary. Computer and software knowledge are assumed. Normally a graphic and/or
picture processing program is used. A few of it are also available as freeware or open-source-software. A
program is suitable, if a creation of pictures in a format JPG is possible. The colour depth should be 24
bit (16,7 mill. colours). For dimensions of the picture in pixel is tested:
for format 4:3: 720 × 656 (768 × 700)
for format 16:9: 720 × 492 (768 × 525)
Example for a display in format 4:3:
A picture or a graphic in format 4:3 can be made according e. g. 640 × 480, 800 × 600 or 1024 ×
768 [pixel]. If the picture is finished, it is to convert to 720 × 656 [pixel]. The proportion of the picture
don’t now comply with the original format, but it is displayed by the MIK 9-S over the whole screen.
