Photo Mosaic Wall + FMX for Windows
FMX for Windows feeds photos into a PMWall mosaic the same way Selfie Wi-Fi and FMX for iPad do: everything flows through the Foto Master Cloud event gallery. This setup suits a DSLR camera, a full Windows booth display, or a mirror booth running alongside the mosaic, all connected to the same Cloud event.
What You Need
- A Windows PC with FMX for Windows installed and an active license
- An active PMWall license
- A Foto Master Cloud account with an event and Online Gallery created
- Both machines connected to the internet
How It Works
- A guest takes a photo on FMX for Windows.
- The photo uploads to the event's Foto Master Cloud gallery.
- PMWall downloads the photo from that gallery.
- The mosaic updates live on screen.
Both applications point at the same Cloud event. That shared event is the entire integration -- there is no direct connection between the booth PC and the mosaic PC, and no agent to install.
Workflow Setup in Cloud
- In Foto Master Cloud, open the Workflow for your event.
- Select the corresponding Layout.
- Add a photo capture step.
- Add a Share/Upload step so photos reach the Cloud gallery.
- Save and assign the preset to your event.
On the FMX for Windows PC
- Open FMX for Windows and sign in with your Cloud credentials.
- Select your event from the list and click Sync.
- Click Play to launch the booth.
On the PMWall PC
- Open PMWall and sign in with your Foto Master Cloud account.
- Open the Dashboard tab, select the same event under Event Management, and click Sync Event.
- Open Settings > Cloud and confirm Download Raw Photos is enabled. This is what pulls booth photos into the mosaic.
- Return to the Dashboard and click Start Mosaic.
Enable Download Final Photos as well if you want the booth's finished, branded output on the wall instead of the raw capture. For the full breakdown of which media type to sync, see Syncing Cloud Gallery Photos to a PMWall Mosaic Event.
Tip: Once both apps are running, take a test photo on FMX for Windows and confirm it appears on the wall before going live. Watch Raw Seen under Runtime Stats -- if it does not increase, the photo never reached the Cloud event.
