Pacific Digital MF-810S user manual Using MemoryFrame with a Personal Computer

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.
