From time to time, Pacific Digital may make improvements to MemoryFrame’s internal software (firmware) to add features or enhancements. Check www.pacificdigital.com for updates.

How to Download MemoryFrame Software updates

Go to www.pacificdigital.com

Follow the links to the MemoryFrame software update page.

Updates to the MemoryFrame firmware should be downloaded to your PC’s hard-drive. Take note of the exact directory location on your hard-drive to which you downloaded the update files.

How to Update MemoryFrame Firmware

When the MemoryFrame is connected to a computer running Digital PixMaster with its USB drivers, the MemoryFrame accepts and processes communication from the computer. Digital PixMaster can update the MemoryFrame’s software image with the new one you downloaded from the Pacific Digital website.

You must first connect your PC to the MemoryFrame with the USB cable that was provided in the box with the unit.

Connect the larger “standard USB” connector to the USB port of the PC. Connect the smaller “mini-USB” connector to the “PC” connector of the MemoryFrame. See Figure 7.

Important! For the PC application (Digital PixMaster) to communicate to your MemoryFrame, you first need to prepare your MemoryFrame for communicating to a PC by putting into Slideshow display mode.

Digital PixMaster’s Update Firmware Command

Use the Digital PixMaster™ software to transfer the software update to your MemoryFrame. The Digital PixMaster icon should be located on your Windows Desktop. To start Digital PixMaster double-click on the icon.
