Abstract
The present invention provides for transferring slideshow presentation information from a host computing device to an electronic device that typically has limited resources. A request to display a slideshow presentation on an electronic device is received, the slideshow presentation including image data corresponding to one or more bitmaps. In response to the request, a session of an application is open on the host computer that provides the slideshow presentation data. A video codec is utilized for dynamically converting the slideshow presentation data into a video data stream that represents the slideshow presentation. The video data stream is then transmitted to the electronic device for rendering the slideshow presentation on a display of the electronic device.
