File sizes for using photos on television

Hello

We have a funeral service and are using photos on a television screen in the service.I have prepared the photos in photoshop with the pixel size to coincide with the sony KD75XE monitor/TV that they have . Each File is 3840x2160 pixels. Some have 2 portrait photos on a black background and some 2 colour portrait photos on a Grey background. The landscape photos are individual and again on either a black or grey background.  Each photoshop file show the same megapixel size because they are set at 3840x2160.

When they are saved as jpegs (required for the TV) the file sizes vary but are all roughly between 2 and 3.5M.

At present when I view these they run through at about 10 seconds for each file/photo.

To view all the photos in a predetermined time I would require the throughput to be about 5 seconds per file/photo.

The Pixel dimensions of the files/photos are right to fill the TV screen and I do not wish to lose that.

How or what do i alter with each file to speed up throughput.

There is no facility on the TV to run faster it is all dependent on the photo file size or whatever i am missing.

I do not wish to reduce the number of photos displayed.

 

Kind regards

 

Paul

Display time for a series of jpegs (as opposed to a video file) is controlled solely by the software running the slidehow. You need to look there not in Photoshop.

However if file loading is an issue due to filesize, increase the jpeg compression (i.e. reduce quality slider) in export to get the balance between size and on screen quality.

Hello Dave and thanks for the reply,

The loading (I think) is ok, its just the time each photo remains on screen before the next one appears. The reflexions music is 4 minutes long and i wanted the photos to run for this time, but they actually run for 8 minutes, so i would have to get rid of 50% of the photos to get them to sync which i dont want to do if i can help it.

You mentioned video files is that a possibility and if so how

 

kind regards

The question, as Dave pointed out, is what software is controlling the slideshow. Many TVs will have a slideshow function when you just plug a USB stick into it - in that case look into the TV menus to see if the timing can be adjusted.

 

The old Windows Photo Viewer had a slideshow function with adjustable intervals. It's possible that the new replacement ("Photos") has that too.
