“So many photos are captured on smartphones every day, yet many
are not seen on screens that showcase them in their fullest,
richest detail. With our new Meural WiFi Photo Frame we’ve created
a new way to enjoy and relive those special memories,” said David
Henry, senior vice president for Connected Home Products and
Services at NETGEAR. “With the added capability to invite family
and friends from around the world to create and share photo
playlists and albums, this new premium photo frame will also help
to keep people close in a time when we all need to stay
connected.”
In a world where millions of memories are being captured on
smartphones, but are often limited to these small screens, the
Meural mobile app lets you instantly and seamlessly add your
favorite photos to the crystal-clear display of the Meural WiFi
Photo Frame. Meural is providing the opportunity to relive your
memories in full color - imagine seeing your baby’s first steps or
the trip down to the coast in brilliant detail. You’ll experience a
completely new perspective on your photos as they are showcased on
the Meural WiFi Photo Frame. Pictures will come to life with
clarity on the large 13.5 x 7.5-inch frame and 15.6-inch diagonal
display. The anti-glare screen and patented TrueArt technology
deliver life-like photos to be enjoyed from any angle and the
premium woodgrain-trimmed frame makes it the perfect fit for any
home or office setting.
Picture-perfect sharing from phone to frame
Seamlessly and effortlessly, you can link an album already on
your smartphone to upload and display on the Meural WiFi Photo
Frame automatically. You’ll now spend less time organizing photos
and more time enjoying them. Relive your favorite memories, and
with intelligent location, date and image titles tagged to the
photos, you’ll never forget the details of those moments. With a
simple “wave up” on the Meural Photo Frame, the unique gesture
control shows the location and date of any photo, which are tagged
with the image title automatically. Additional details are also
accessible in the photo’s information shown on the screen, which
can be easily modified to add more personalization and
descriptions.
- Schedule albums and playlists to show at different times of the
day so everyone in the family can see what they want when they
want.
- Integrated sensors monitor the room’s ambient light to ensure
the proper brightness of all the images and the frame can
automatically go to sleep when it’s dark.
- The Meural WiFi Photo Frame also stands in both portrait and
landscape orientations and auto orients photos and content to fit
the display. Live Photos from Apple iOS and short format videos -
up to 15 seconds - are also supported with Meural, so you can see
your memories come to life from the display.
- The Meural WiFi Photo Frame joins the existing Meural Canvas II
family, available in 21-inch and 27-inch display sizes, which also
benefit from these new photo-sharing features on the app.
“We are very excited about the launch of our updated Meural app,
which brings all these unique photo uploading and sharing features
to our larger sized Meural canvases too. We know so many Meural
customers enjoy seeing photos taken from trips or family gatherings
on the Meural digital canvases. Whether on a desktop, kitchen
counter or hung on a living room wall, NETGEAR now offers 3 sizes
of Meural Frames to display your art and personal photos,” said
Phillip Pyo, vice president of product marketing and Meural product
management for NETGEAR.
The new 15.6-inch Meural WiFi Photo Frame, as well as the larger
Meural Canvases, include 100 sample artworks curated from an Art
Library of over 30,000 images from leading museums, artists, and
collections from around the world.
Introducing new content additions to the Meural
library
Today, NETGEAR is also introducing two exciting content
additions to the platform’s art library; the iconic Peanuts
comic strips by Charles Schulz as well as a selection of
spectacular video artworks from Sharecare Windows, which
capture the natural world in all its splendor and are designed to
promote relaxation and wellbeing.
Peanuts: Following on the tradition of
a generation, NETGEAR is pleased to be releasing one Peanuts comic
strip playlist – from the 18,000+ archive – every week,
complemented by original collections of character and themed
artworki.
“NETGEAR is thrilled to add one of the world's most beloved
pop-culture brands to the platform, and to offer fans old and new a
chance to revisit and discover the unique and special world of
Charlie Brown. The cross-generational appeal of Peanuts illuminates
the Meural mission of connecting people through shared experiences
and memories,” said Poppy Simpson, head of curation for Meural at
NETGEAR.
Sharecare Windows: NETGEAR will be
releasing two themed Sharecare Windows’ collections a month;
mesmerizing, ambient videos that provide a natural antidote to the
stresses of quarantine. Themes include Beaches, Sunrise and Sunset
and Shinrin Yoku or "Forest Bathing.”
Sharecare Windows is part of Sharecare, the
leading digital health company created by digital health pioneer,
Jeff Arnold, and cardiothoracic surgeon and Emmy award winning TV
personality, Dr. Mehmet Oz. Clinical usage has shown Sharecare
Windows’ videos to be effective in reducing intrusive noise levels,
encouraging healthy sleep patterns and reducing stress. The current
curation of videos is accessible via the Meural app and can be seen
online at My.Meural.NETGEAR.com.

Frame (15.6-inch) is now available from NETGEAR.com and
