6.Using MemoryFrame with a Personal Computer

Although MemoryFrame does not require a PC, many digital camera users will want to take advantage of their personal computer’s power, memory, user interface, and photo editing software. The PC can be used to edit, enhance, and archive photos and other images. Using a PC, you can simply and easily download images to your MemoryFrame. With the stereo MF-810S model you can also download WAV audio files. You can organize a personalized photo show and quickly transfer it to/from the MemoryFrame using USB. In this usage scenario the PC is momentarily connected directly to the MemoryFrame with the USB cable that was provided with the unit.

After transferring photos, the MemoryFrame does not need to remain connected to the PC via the USB cable in order to display the photo slideshow. For example, after transferring photos, the MemoryFrame can be disconnected from the USB cable and moved to a different room for display. Alternatively, if the display location for the MemoryFrame is near the PC, you can leave the MemoryFrame connected to the PC as may be the case in a home office or at work.

6.1Digital PixMaster™ PC Software Overview

A PC communicates with the MemoryFrame using Digital PixMasterTM software. The Digital PixMaster software runs on your computer and is a special application (provided in the box on a CD) used to control and configure MemoryFrame. Digital PixMaster uses a special USB driver to communicate (also provided on the CD). PixMaster is an innovative solution that is incredibly easy to use, while offering key features, such as the ability preview slideshows, rotate photos, specify transition effects, and create/name/save unique slideshows from your vacations, sporting events, family functions, etc. The software presents a graphical user interface that allows you to do the following:

•Easily create professional looking photo slideshows to be displayed on the MemoryFrame. Choose the pictures, choose the times & transitions and let Digital PixMaster do the rest. The software easily allows you to create custom slideshows that integrate photos from both your camera as well as images stored anywhere on your PC. Simply drag & drop the desired photos for a particular show into Digital PixMaster. Digital PixMaster software can import the following picture formats: JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PNG, or GIF.
