Since I have had a Smartphone, the volume of photographs is growing steadily thanks to the camera built into the device itself, which It is on a par - in quality - with any compact mid-range automatic.
To this we must add that its excellent optics, with mechanical stabilization, allows me to record videos in Full HD that enlarge the screen every time larger multimedia library; that I have spread across various devices.
Mom, I'm on TV
The drawback, in this Age of Immediacy, is that in order to enjoy the recorded material I have to transfer it to one of the hard drives, or upload it to an Internet repository (Youtube or Skydrive); which takes time.
But Nokia, for its Lumia range, has released an excellent application that allows me to view photos and videos from the phone's own library, on the TV: Remote Playback .
I achieve this by having a WiFi connection between the Smartphone and the device on which I want to play the multimedia material, and using the DLNA communication protocol, which comes as standard in all Windows 7 and higher.
The best thing is that I don't have to configure anything The TV directly recognizes the mobile and vice versa, and with an application interface very simple, I can show on TV the videos and photos that have just been captured or that I have not yet stored on external drives.
Just in case, and by request, you lack the power to build playlists, view photos in a carousel, or smoother transitions.
