FortomediaEverything a booth needs, in one app.
Feature by feature, with what you can adjust in the app. Your plan only decides which modes are unlocked; everything else is in every plan.
Events and operating modes
One profile per party.
Each event keeps its own frames, camera, settings and photo folders. From the events board you press Launch to open the booth; after the party, duplicate it for the next one instead of starting over.
On this screen
Create event Add a new event. The list on the left shows each event’s frame and creation date.
Status The green “Ready to launch” dot means the event has the frames and settings it needs.
Frame preview The frame attached to this event, exactly as guests will see it.
Camera · Frames · Settings Jump straight to this event’s own settings.
Duplicate · Rename · Delete Duplicate to reuse for the next party. Delete is red so it’s hard to hit by accident.
Launch Open the guest screen and start taking sessions.
Quit · Sign out The signed-in account (Admin) sits top right, with sign-out and quit.

Cameras and live view
Plug in any of the big four.
Fortomedia drives cameras through the official Canon, Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm SDKs and picks the right one for the camera plugged in. No dedicated camera yet? Use a webcam, an HDMI source, a hot folder or digiCamControl.
- Capture source
- Maker SDK (Canon EDSDK, Sony Camera Remote, Nikon MAID, Fujifilm X), webcam, hot folder, digiCamControl.
- Live view resolution
- Native, 640p, 960p or 1280p — go lower for smoother live view on modest PCs.
- FPS cap
- 30, 20, 15 or 10 FPS to save CPU; capture quality is unaffected.
- Mirror
- Flip live view and the photo like a mirror so guests pose naturally.
- Live view as background
- Show the camera feed on the idle screen to draw people in.
- Fujifilm
- Live view size L, M, S and quality Fine, Normal, Basic to match USB load.
- Second screen
- A second display for outward-facing live view or a session photo wall.
Capture settings
You set the rhythm.
Set the countdown, the pause between shots and a time limit for every step so one group can’t hold the booth for too long.
On this screen
Capture mode Remote shutter is off. “Follow the frame’s photo count” is on, so the shot count (6) comes from the chosen frame.
Capture timing A 6-second countdown per shot and a 0.5-second pause after each one.
Step timers Session 120 s, frame pick 60, compose 240, filter pick 240, print wait 30 seconds.
Capture experience Mirror after capture and No retakes — turn on to keep the queue moving.
Advanced Rarely used options stay folded away.

Frames and Layout maker
Design a frame, use it right away.
Bring in a PNG; the Layout maker punches transparent slots for guest photos and adds the frame to the event. Frames are grouped so guests can choose a set, and they sync to every booth.

AI retouching
Better skin, happier guests, no internet.
The beauty kit runs on the booth PC itself and never sends photos anywhere. You decide which tools guests see on the filter screen; guests hold a finger on the photo to compare with the original.
On this screen

On this screen

Printing and cut calibration
Cuts in the right place, no wasted paper.
Fortomedia prints on DNP printers with a cutter and ships a cut-calibration tool: print a test sheet, enter the measured offsets, preview the cut lines before saving. Need a regular printer? Turn on free printing.
On this screen
Print and read six rulers Print a test sheet with no compensation and measure six points. 1 px at 300 dpi ≈ 0.085 mm, so print 3 sheets and average.
Enter measured offsets Outer edges of both strips, upper and lower cut lines, top and bottom edges — in single pixels.
Tolerance & skew Safety margins for the cut line and outer edge. Turn on skew compensation only when the paper drifts consistently.
Cut preview Choose a source (sample frame, calibration sheet, any photo) and compare before and after compensation.
Magnify the error See the real offset, ×4 or ×8, on Strip 1 + Strip 2.
