WiThrottle Lite vs Open Frame

Use your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad as a throttle for model railroad control! **PLEASE NOTE** This App is not a stand-alone product! Other hardware and software are required. WiThrottle Lite is the free version of WiThrottle. Link to the popular JMRI software through a local Wi-Fi network to access throttle, address, and function controls wirelessly. -or- Connect directly to an MRC Prodigy WiFi module. -or- Connect directly to a Digitrax LnWi module. -or- Connect directly to a WifiTrax WFD-30/31 module. Digital Command Control (DCC) is now the most common control method for earnest model railroaders, allowing multiple trains to be controlled simultaneously anywhere on the track. JMRI is an interface program that works with most brands of DCC and is very popular because it simplifies DCC programming, signaling, control, and many other aspects of running a permanent layout. It is also free and multi-platform. Instead of direct control through the DCC system, WiThrottle Lite links with JMRI or a dedicated module. This provides a universal interface to many possible combinations of technology and model railroads. As DCC evolves, JMRI is updated as needed to match current technology. JMRI Requirements: - JMRI 2.12 or higher, JMRI 5.2 or newer recommended - DCC system interfaced to a computer and a model railroad - Local Wi-Fi network MRC Prodigy WiFi Requirements: - MRC Prodigy WiFi module - MRC Prodigy DCC system Digitrax LnWi Requirements: - Digitrax LnWi module - Digitrax DCC system WifiTrax WFD-30/31 Requirements: - WifiTrax WFD module - NCE DCC system If you operate at either a club or private home that uses JMRI for operations and has Wi-Fi, access to the local network (host may need to share their password) is all you need. Multiple iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad mobile devices may use their own WiThrottle or WiThrottle Lite simultaneously during an operating session. WiThrottle Lite allows you to confirm compatibility at no cost before buying the full App. Please visit our website for additional information.

Turn your TV into a personal art gallery. Open Frame is an independent app that sends your own photos to your TV's art gallery over your home Wi-Fi — no cloud account, and nothing ever leaving your local network. If you have an art-mode TV on your wall and you've been looking for a simple, private way to get your personal photos onto it, this is for you. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Send photos from your iPhone straight to a compatible TV on your Wi-Fi • Crop and resize automatically to match the TV's 4K display • Choose from your TV's built-in matte styles and colors (modern, shadowbox, flexible, panoramic, triptych, and more) • Preview how your photo will look with each matte before you send it • Rotate and adjust portrait or landscape photos for the best fit • Browse and manage what you've already sent — select or remove images • HEIC, JPEG, and PNG photos all supported (HEIC is converted automatically) WHY PEOPLE USE OPEN FRAME • Private — your photos travel only between your iPhone and your own TV on your local Wi-Fi; they are never sent to any server • No account required — just open the app and connect • No tracking, no analytics — your photo library is your business • Works with the art-mode TV you already own HOW IT WORKS Open Frame scans your home Wi-Fi to find a compatible TV on first launch. From there, pick a photo, pick a matte, and send it to the TV's art gallery. It's that simple. SUPPORTING THE APP Open Frame is free to install and free to use — uploads are never gated or interrupted. A small banner ad appears on a few screens, and a one-time $1.99 purchase removes it forever. Either way, your photos go directly from your iPhone to your own TV; ads are served separately and never see your photos. WHAT YOU NEED • A 4K television with a built-in art or gallery mode, on the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone • That mode switched on • Local Network permission, so the app can find the TV on your Wi-Fi Not every art-mode television is supported. If Open Frame cannot reach yours, your television manufacturer's own companion app remains the supported way to transfer images. HAVE FEEDBACK? Open Frame is actively developed.
