1. Introduction

Welcome to the future of personal digital imaging. The Pacific Digital

MemoryFrame^TMcombines the vibrant high-resolution quality of active-

matrix TFT (Thin Film Transistor) display technology with the

convenience and speed of the popular Universal Serial Bus (USB)

interface for a new way to display your photos instantly.

The Pacific Digital MemoryFrame is designed to download and display

pictures from Personal Computers, USB Mass Storage Digital Cameras,

or USB Mass Storage memory-card readers using the two USB ports

built into MemoryFrame.

By using the DirectConnect^TMfeature of the MemoryFrame you can

download digital photos directly and play them back in a slideshow-type

fashion in your home or office. The USB interface provides speed and

portability, allowing you to download immediately from your own or

your friend’s camera. It is ideal for both home and office users to

proudly display family, vacation, or business related images on the desk,

shelf, or wall. For those who use a PC, you can also create, name and

save hundreds of different slideshows for easy USB transfer to/from the

PC.

MemoryFrame stores 50+ photos and allows you to select how long each

image is displayed and what style of transition is used between each

image!

MemoryFrame is perfect as a gift for friends, business contacts, or

relatives. Imagine preloading the MemoryFrame with those “just perfect”

photos, and sending it as a family gift. It would leave an impression long

after the gift is opened.

For that personal touch, a wide variety of wood and lacquered frames are

available to suit any décor. Frames can be changed in moments, and

locked directly onto the MemoryFrame to be displayed on a desk,

mantelpiece, or hanging on a wall.

So let MemoryFrame free your imagination to explore the many ways

you can express yourself, not only with the photos you take, but the way

you present them.

2. Ways to Use Your MemoryFrame™

The MemoryFrame is a stand-alone device that is designed to transfer

and store images from either a PC or a camera/reader and then display

the images in a continuous slideshow. You can set a transition style and

display-time duration for each of the slides. After transferring photos, the

MemoryFrame does not need to remain connected to the USB cable in

order to display the photo slideshow. For example, after transferring

photos, the MemoryFrame can be moved to a different room for display.

Transfer Camera Images Directly to the MemoryFrame

No PC required. Take pictures with your digital camera,

DirectConnect^TMyour USB camera to MemoryFrame to select

which photos to transfer. Then disconnect your camera and simply

display them. With its easy-to-use on-screen menu system and

multi-function control buttons, users can view their digital camera

or memory card contents at a glance with easy to view thumbnails,

edit slideshows, select the time between image changes, add fun

transition and display effects, delete images from slideshows, and

much more. Manual image forward, pause, and reverse buttons and

adjustable contrast are also provided. If your camera does not

support USB Mass Storage (see Section 12 of this manual for more

information), you can use either a USB Mass Storage compatible

card-reader or a PC to transfer and display your pictures (see

below).

Connect a USB Memory-Card Reader to the MemoryFrame

No PC required. Take pictures with your digital camera, then

remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into a USB

Mass Storage compatible memory-card-reader. Next, connect the

USB card-reader to the camera USB port of the MemoryFrame to

transfer and display your pictures. If your card-reader does not

support USB Mass Storage (see Section 12 of this manual for more

information), you can use a PC to transfer and display your pictures

(see next page).

Transfer Images from a PC to the MemoryFrame

Many digital camera users will want to take advantage of their

personal computer’s power, memory and user interface to edit,

enhance, and archive their photos and other images. Using the

Digital PixMaster application supplied with the MemoryFrame^TM,

Page 2

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

MemoryFrame User’s Manual

you can organize a personalized photo show and download it to the

MemoryFrame using USB.

PowerPoint™ Slides

PowerPoint slides can be saved as JPEG images or pasted into

photo-applications as JPEGs. After your slides have been converted

to JPEGs, simply drag & drop them into Digital PixMaster for quick

USB download to MemoryFrame. Integrating PowerPoint slides

into the photo slideshows is fun, and in business can make

MemoryFrame a valuable tool for many applications.

E-mail Images

When you receive a picture via e-mail, most programs allow you to

save the image file to your computer’s hard disk. If the image is

visible on your computer screen, simply drag & drop the picture

into Digital PixMaster for quick USB download to MemoryFrame.

If the image file is contained in an attachment to an e-mail, there is

usually a button or link that requires clicking. In AOL, this is the

“Download Now” button. Once the image file is saved to your hard

disk, use PixMaster™ to send it to your MemoryFrame for viewing.

Internet Images

JPEG images found on many websites can be transferred to

MemoryFrame. First, right-click the image, then either Copy (for

later Paste into Digital PixMaster), or Save-As (to save to your hard

disk for later drag & drop into Digital PixMaster) for quick USB

download to MemoryFrame.

4. Getting Started

The following sections provide step-by-step instructions on setting

up your MemoryFrame for the first time.

4.1

Unpacking your MemoryFrame™

In the retail box, the MemoryFrame unit is wrapped in a cardboard

shock-absorbent holder. Do NOT RIP the “shrink-wrap” portion

when removing the unit. Instead, remove the entire cardboard

shock-absorbent holder from the box, and unfold the cardboard so

that it lies flat. After unfolding the cardboard, you can gently slide

the MemoryFrame from out of the “shrink-wrap” material. Next

refold the cardboard shock-absorbent holder and place it back in the

retail box. Save the box so you can pack or store the unit in the

future.

4.3

Removing the Protective Plastic Film from the LCD

The MemoryFrame ships with a protective plastic film on its LCD

screen. The purpose of this protective plastic film is to prevent the

LCD screen from being scratched or damaged during manufacturing

and packaging. You can choose whether to remove the protective

plastic film or to keep it on. Please note, however, that the clarity of

the images will appear brighter and clearer after removing the

protective plastic film from the LCD screen. To remove the

protective plastic film, look closely at the four corners of the

MemoryFrame LCD screen. You will see that one of the four

corners is lifted slightly. Carefully lift that corner and peel the

protective plastic film away from the MemoryFrame. Use the

Contrast Up/Down buttons to achieve your desired level of contrast.

Note: You may choose to leave the protective plastic film on the

LCD screen to keep it protected.

4.4

Connecting MemoryFrame to the Power Supply

MemoryFrame runs on AC power from an ordinary wall outlet. Use

only the supplied MemoryFrame external Power Supply. Other

power adapters will cause damage to MemoryFrame and void the

warranty.

Before connecting the power supply, make sure that the

MemoryFrame power switch is in the OFF position. Connect the

External Power Supply to the Power receptacle jack on the back of

MemoryFrame. Plug the External Power supply wall plug into a

120 VAC 60 Hz supply.

Warning! Plugging the North American plug into locations outside

of North America that use 240 VAC 50 Hz will damage unit and void

warranty.

Pacific Digital offers an international external power supply for use

outside of North America.

4.5

Using the Foldout Stand

The stand on the back of MemoryFrame is designed to properly

support the MemoryFrame in either portrait (vertical) or landscape

(horizontal) orientations. The stand is designed to support

MemoryFrame on flat surfaces only.

Fold out the Stand from the rear of the MemoryFrame. Choose the

orientation that you prefer, and set the MemoryFrame on a flat

surface.

4.6

Power-on Initialization

Move the MemoryFrame’s Power Switch to the “ON” position to

turn on the MemoryFrame.

Important Note: In the power-on sequence of the MemoryFrame, its

initialization screen will take a few moments to appear. The entire

power-on sequence may take up to 3 minutes and you will be unable

to use the push-button menu system until the first photo appears on

the screen.

MemoryFrame User’s Manual

After going through a power-on initialization sequence, the

MemoryFrame will automatically enter the slideshow mode and

begin displaying the currently loaded show (a default show is

included with the unit from the factory).

Each image in the slideshow has an assigned transition effect, and

display-time duration. When the display-time of the current image

ends, the MemoryFrame transitions to the next picture.

The type of transition and the display-time duration is selected by

the user during slideshow creation. Slideshows can be created on a

PC using the Digital PixMaster™ application. If photos were

directly loaded into MemoryFrame from a USB camera or card-

reader without a PC, then MemoryFrame allows you to change/set

the transition and duration after the photos have been transferred.

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. 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 in the box 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.

6.1

Digital PixMaster™ PC Software Overview

A PC communicates with the MemoryFrame using Digital PixMaster^TM

software. The Digital PixMaster software runs on your desktop computer

and is a special application (also 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 to 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, BMP,

ICO, or GIF.

Page 18

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

MemoryFrame User’s Manual

Figure 10 – Digital PixMaster Empty Show

Digital PixMaster lets you create a complete slideshow of up to 55

images for download to MemoryFrame.

In the Windows® Explorer program (which by default will point to your

MyPictures directory) locate the photo images (JPEG, BMP, ICO, or

GIF) that you want to download onto your MemoryFrame frame.

Digital PixMaster supports “drag and drop,” so simply select one or more

photos (up to 55 maximum) from any location on your hard-drive and

“drag and drop” over to the Digital PixMaster application window.

Digital PixMaster also supports “paste from clipboard,” to allow simple

selection of one or more photos from the Internet, email, your hard-drive,

or any other storage device in your PC. Use the Windows “Copy”

function, then “Paste” the images into the Digital PixMaster application

window.

The original image files on your PC will be left unmodified, and a re-

sized copy of the image will be added to the Digital PixMaster slideshow

file. The original high-resolution photo files will remain in the directory

where they were.

You can also select photos from any application, directory, CD, DVD,

etc. to import via “drag and drop” or “copy/paste” into your slideshow.

Simply find the images that you want to include in the slideshow.

6.5.2 Naming and Saving Slideshows

You can create, name, and save hundreds of different slideshows on

your PC (e.g. Graduation, Hawaii, Little League, Soccer, Wedding,

Lakers, Church, etc.). Each can be quickly downloaded to

MemoryFrame over USB. To save a slideshow that you have

created, click on File then select “Save” or “Save As” to save the

slideshow to your hard drive under a name of your choosing. The

file extension for MemoryFrame slideshows created with Digital

Pixmaster is the “.pd” extension. Using the “Save As” function,

you can create variations of a slideshow that differ by one or more

photos.

Digital PixMaster can have only one slideshow open at one time. If

you choose to open a new blank slideshow while another is already

open, the program will close the first one (asking you if you want to

save first) before opening the new blank one. Additionally, you can

open existing slideshows that you had previously saved.

6.5.3 Removing an image from a slideshow

There are three ways to remove an image from a slideshow. The

first method is to Right-Click on the image that you wish to remove,

and select Delete or Cut. The other method is to first select the

image to be removed by using Left-Click. Then, click EDIT, and

select either Delete or Cut to remove the Image from the slideshow.

Alternatively, you can press the delete key on your keyboard. Cut

MemoryFrame User’s Manual

will make the image available in the Windows Clipboard for

subsequent Paste.

6.5.4 Inserting an image into a slideshow

In addition to the Drag&Drop and Paste functions discussed earlier,

you can also Insert an image from a directory or storage device with

the “Insert Image from File” option available in the Edit menu. This

option will ask you to specify the location or Browse to find.

6.5.5 Rotating an image in a slideshow

Some of your pictures will have been taken with the camera in a

horizontal position, and others in a vertical position. The Rotate 90º

option is under the Edit menu (or Right-Click menu) and allows you

to set the proper orientation to display any particular photo. When

you select Rotate 90º, Digital PixMaster will rotate the currently

selected picture 90º to the right. Select the image you wish to rotate

and then rotate it as many times as necessary until you reach the

desired orientation.

6.5.6 Hiding an image in a slideshow

You may not want to delete an image from a slideshow, but still not

want to display it in that slideshow. Selecting Hide Image from the

Edit menu allows you to hide that particular slide. This setting can

also be reversed to unhide the slide in the show. This option can

also be selected from the Image Properties screen discussed below.

6.5.7 Copying images from one slideshow to another

You Since Digital PixMaster can have only one slideshow open at

one time, you must open/start another session of Digital PixMaster

(by double clicking on its icon again or invoking from the Windows

Program list), in order to copy images from one slideshow to

another show. With two instances of Digital PixMaster running,

you can drag images from one show to another.

6.5.8 Image Properties: Transition Effects and Timings

Digital PixMaster features a wide variety of transitions between

images. Selecting Image Properties from the Edit menu allows you

to assign transitions, fill colors, and set the slide display duration

MemoryFrame User’s Manual

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

retrieve the current slideshow in MemoryFrame to the PC (retrieve) for

saving or editing, or it can replace the slideshow in the MemoryFrame

with a new one from the computer (send).

To transfer slideshows from the PC to your MemoryFrame or from

MemoryFrame back to your PC, 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, as described in the section below.

Preparing MemoryFrame to Communicate to a PC

The MemoryFrame cannot be managed or communicate with a PC

while it is in the Menu system mode. In all cases, you must be in

photo slideshow Display mode for Digital PixMaster to

communicate. Exit any on-board button menus and return to

displaying the current slideshow. This will place the MemoryFrame

in the mode that is required to communicate with the PC.

Getting the current slideshow from the MemoryFrame

From the “MemoryFrame” pull-down menu of Digital PixMaster,

select Retrieve-Slideshow to get the current slideshow from the

MemoryFrame. This function is also available by clicking on

“retrieve-slideshow” icon (

) in the toolbar. When the

MemoryFrame receives the Retrieve-Slideshow command it

transfers the current slideshow photos (and associated delay times,

fill-colors, delays, etc.) from its memory to the PC. Once complete,

you can save or edit this show.

Sending slideshows to the MemoryFrame

Important! Because MemoryFrame will overwrite an existing

slideshow if a new one is sent to it, you may want to first Retrieve the

existing show to your PC for saving on your PC hard drive before

sending a new one.

Page 25

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

MemoryFrame User’s Manual

First open the show you want to send on the PC. From the

“MemoryFrame” pull-down menu of Digital PixMaster, select

Send-Slideshow. This function is also available by clicking on

“send-slideshow” icon ( ) in the toolbar. This will send your PC

slideshow to the MemoryFrame. When the application sends the

Send-Slideshow command, the MemoryFrame will erase its current

slideshow, then read in the new show over the USB connection

from the PC and save it into its onboard memory.

After you click on Send, Digital PixMaster will display a progress

bar to indicate the transfer of the new images to MemoryFrame.

Important! When the progress bar is complete, it only signifies that the

file has been transferred, but not yet stored in memory. This is just the

beginning of the MemoryFrame’s actual process of updating its

Slideshow, so do not turn off the power

After the transfer is complete, the MemoryFrame will erase the

current slideshow portion of its memory and program in the new

slideshow image. You must wait up to one (1) minute for the frame

to complete the slideshow change.

Important! Do not unplug or cut power to the MemoryFrame or PC

during the send slideshow process!

Once the new slideshow has been loaded into the MemoryFrame’s

storage memory, the MemoryFrame will indicate it is done by

displaying the first new image of the slideshow. A power-cycle is

not required.

6.7

Exiting Digital PixMaster

Choosing Exit from the File menu will exit the Digital PixMaster

program. If you have an unsaved slideshow file currently open, the

program will ask you if you want to save it before exiting the program.

Clicking on the close window box (x) in the upper right corner will also

exit the Digital PixMaster program.

7. Connecting a Camera to the MemoryFrame

For those who wish to bypass their PC, MemoryFrame can also be

connected directly to USB digital cameras that support the USB Mass

Storage Specification (see Chapter 12). In this mode, the Photos stored

in the camera must be in JPEG format (not TIF or other camera formats).

In this mode, independent of a PC, MemoryFrame is capable of

downloading JPEG formatted pictures, changing the resolution of the

pictures to match that of the MemoryFrame display, storing the pictures

in nonvolatile memory, and displaying the downloaded pictures with user

specified durations and transitions.

Important! To transfer slideshows from the Camera directly to your

MemoryFrame, you first need to prepare your MemoryFrame for

communicating, as described in the section below.

Preparing MemoryFrame to Communicate to Camera

The MemoryFrame is a single function device; this means that it cannot

be managed or communicate with a camera while it is displaying a slide

show. In all cases, you must stop the slideshow by pressing the Menu

Button. This will place the MemoryFrame in the Menu System mode

that is required to communicate with the Camera.

Important! Make sure that the camera’s memory-card is already

inserted into the camera before connecting the USB cable.

Next, connect the MemoryFrame directly to the USB digital camera

using the USB cable that was provided by the camera manufacturer (i.e.

the cable that came with your camera).

To use a camera, connect the “micro-USB” connector to the camera’s

USB port. Then connect the “Standard USB” connector to the “Camera”

connector of the MemoryFrame. See Figure 14.

Page 27

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

MemoryFrame User’s Manual

Figure 14 – Connecting a Camera

The MemoryFrame is capable of displaying the pictures found in the

camera and allows you to download pictures from the camera directly

into the MemoryFrame until the internal memory of the MemoryFrame is

full.

Important! The camera will need to be set into the appropriate mode to

transmit its pictures. Many cameras have two modes of operation:

proprietary and standard (driver-less) mode, and the camera has menu

items and/or buttons that set the USB mode. The standard (driver-less)

makes the camera look like a drive-letter to Windows Explorer without

the need for the camera manufacturer's custom driver. This standard

driverless mode (called “disk-drive” mode by some cameras) is required

to interface to MemoryFrame. See your camera’s user manual for details

of how to prepare your camera for driver-less USB transfers.

8. Connecting a USB Card-Reader to MemoryFrame

If you have a Camera that is not compliant with the USB Mass Storage

specification, you can still bypass your PC by using MemoryFrame

directly with USB memory-card readers that support the USB Mass

Storage Specification (see Chapter 12).

Important! To transfer slideshows from the Memory Card Reader

directly to your MemoryFrame, you first need to prepare your

MemoryFrame for communicating, as described in the section below.

Preparing MemoryFrame to Communicate with Card-Readers

The MemoryFrame is a single function device; this means that it cannot

be managed or communicate with a card reader while it is displaying a

slide show. In all cases, you must stop the slideshow by pressing the

Menu Button. This will place the MemoryFrame in the Menu System

mode that is required to communicate with the USB memory-card-

reader.

Important! Make sure that the memory-card is already inserted into

the card reader before connecting the USB cable to the

MemoryFrame.

Next, connect the MemoryFrame directly to the USB memory-card

reader using the USB cable that was provided by the card-reader

manufacturer (i.e. the cable that came with your reader).

To do this with a USB memory-card reader, connect the USB connector

of the card-reader’s USB cable to the “Camera” connector of the

MemoryFrame. See Figure 15.

When the user presses the Menu button, the MemoryFrame enters the

Management mode menu. This menu system, which is controlled by

pushing the buttons on the top of the MemoryFrame, allows you to use

the MemoryFrame without a PC to download and configure slideshows

by simply using the buttons on the top of the MemoryFrame unit. In this

mode, the user may download new slideshows, alter the current slide

show, or change MemoryFrame options as described in the following

sections.

9.1

Menu Navigation

When you enter the menu system, the MemoryFrame changes the usage

of three of the buttons: Forward (►), Pause/Select ( || ) and Reverse

(◄).

Menu Control Buttons

Menu Button

Figure 16 – Menu Buttons

Page 33

MemoryFrame User’s Manual

While in the Menu system, these buttons are used to navigate through the

MemoryFrame management menus and to execute the various

management functions as follows:

Forward (►)

While in the Menu system, pressing the Forward

(►) button will move the item selector either

down to next menu text line, or to the right to

next thumbnail, depending upon the current

menu context.

Pause/Select ( || )

While in the Menu system, the ( || ) button

functions as the “select” key to select a

thumbnail or to select and execute a text menu

option.

Reverse (◄)

While in the Menu system, pressing the Reverse

(◄) button will move the item selector either up

to the prior menu text line, or to the left to the

prior thumbnail, depending upon the current

menu context.

The basis of operation is that the MemoryFrame will highlight the

currently selected item in one of two ways. If the item is a thumbnail,

the selected thumbnail will be designated by an outline. If the material is

text, the selected text option will be highlighted in a different color than

the rest of the menu. This highlight is called the selector. Once the

appropriate item has been highlighted, you can press Pause/Select ( || ) to

perform the selected function.

9.2

Main Menu

When you press the Menu button during a slideshow, the

MemoryFrame™ will stop displaying the slideshow and enter the menu

MemoryFrame User’s Manual

In this menu, you are first presented with a thumbnail view of three (3)

of many pictures stored in the MemoryFrame. If you have marked any

of the pictures as hidden (with either the PC application or in this menu

system), the hidden pictures will be displayed in normal sequence with

the word “Hidden” appearing over or near the picture.

You can navigate through the pictures using the Forward (►) and

Reverse (◄) buttons. Since the MemoryFrame can hold 50+ pictures,

this display of three (3) thumbnails serves as a window into the

MemoryFrame’s picture memory. When you navigate past the third

picture on the screen, the program will render the next three (3)

thumbnails, and so on until the last picture is displayed. At this point the

Forward (►) navigation button will not let you advance past the last

picture. Conversely, when you use the Reverse (◄) button to navigate to

a picture prior to the currently displayed thumbnails, the prior three (3)

thumbnails will appear on the screen, and so on until the first picture is

displayed. When you have reached the beginning of your pictures, the

Reverse (◄) navigation button will not let you navigate back any further.

Changing a Picture’s Display Characteristics

When you press ‘Select’ to select a picture, the menu options for

that picture will appear and apply to that picture only. This sub-

menu allows you to set the attributes of your slideshow without a

PC (the time the photos are displayed, the photo transitions effects,

as well as the ability to hide and delete photos , etc).

First, find a picture where you want to change either the time

displayed, transition effect, hide, or delete it. Then, press the

Pause/Select ( || ) button. After the Pause/Select button is pressed,

the MemoryFrame will display the Picture Configuration menu

10. Tips and Tricks

This chapter discusses ways to enhance your use of MemoryFrame^TM.

Areas covered include: image optimization, care of the LCD screen,

securing MemoryFrame in busy environments, and changing the

decorative frame.

10.1

Optimizing images for display on MemoryFrame

The physical screen resolution of the MemoryFrame is 320 x 240 pixels.

Images larger than this will not increase detail or resolution when

displayed on the MemoryFrame.

Although a PC is not required, many digital camera users will want to

take advantage of their personal computer’s power, memory, and user

interface to edit, enhance, and archive their photos and other images.

Using the Digital PixMaster^TMapplication supplied with the

MemoryFrame, you can organize a personalized photo show and

download it to the MemoryFrame using USB. If you do use a PC to

transfer your photos to MemoryFrame, then you will want to take

pictures at full resolution and store them on your hard-drive. The Digital

PixMaster software will automatically resize photos appropriately when

you drag & drop a photo into the application. This will not affect the

size and resolution of the original photo on your hard-drive, therefore, if

you do desire to print that photo later, you will still have the original full-

resolution photo on your hard-drive.

If you want an image to fill the screen completely, ensure that it has an

aspect ratio (ratio of width and height) of 4:3 (or 3:4 for vertical pictures.

If you use the DirectConnnect feature to connect your camera (or USB

card-reader) directly to MemoryFrame, shooting pictures at 640 x 480 or

adjusting the resolution in image manipulation software down to this size

will increase the number of pictures that can be stored on your Memory

Storage Card. It will also speed decompression of the pictures,

improving camera-connection download and performance. In this mode,

your MemoryFrame will automatically reduce the size of large image

files to fit on the screen. Images smaller than 320 x 240 pixels will not

be enlarged.

Caring for the Screen:

10.2

As is noted in Section 4.3, the MemoryFrame is shipped with a

protective plastic film on its LCD screen. Please see Section 4.3 for

instructions on removal of the protective plastic film.

The screen on MemoryFrame is made of glass and is extremely delicate.

It can be easily scratched. Treat the screen with care and avoid touching

it. If the screen does become dirty, turn off the power and use a soft,

absorbent cloth (not tissue paper) dampened with water. Do not use

Windex or other glass cleaners to clean it unless they are specifically

recommended as LCD cleaning solutions. Please wipe off any moisture

before turning the power back on. Listed below are some additional

precautions for the LCD screen:

•

LCD screen display surface never likes dirt, stains, or oil mists.

Do not use furniture polish. Do not use window cleaners, acetic

acid, chlorine compounds, or other glass cleaners to clean it

unless they are specifically recommended as LCD cleaning

solutions, as they will damage the TFT LCD display screen.

•

The LCD screen scratches easily, please handle it carefully.

Avoid applying pressure to the surface of the LCD screen, as it

may cause display non-uniformity or other functional issues.

•

Do not twist or bend the module.

Prevent the use of unsuitable external force to the LCD display

module.

•

Be sure to operate the module within the specified

temperature range (32 – 85 degrees Fahrenheit, 0-30

degrees Celsius) and keep out of direct sunlight.

Avoid keeping the slideshow in either pause mode or menu

management mode for long periods (multiple hours) to

avoid displaying the same image continuously, as it will

cause image sticking (burn-in of the image into LCD).

MemoryFrame User’s Manual

•

Be sure to turn Off the power before connecting or

disconnecting MemoryFrame to the external AC Adapter.

Sudden temperature changes may cause condensation. This

can cause the LCD screen polarizer to be damaged.

High temperature and humidity may degrade performance.

Please do not expose the module to the direct sunlight.

Static electricity can damage the module, please do not

touch the module without first discharging any static charge

you may have.

•

Do not disassemble and reassemble the module. This will

void the warranty.

Do not expose the unit to strong vibration or shock. It may

damage the unit and void the warranty.

When storing the unit, store the unit in suitable environment in

its original packaging.

10.3

Securing MemoryFrame in Office Environments

With its ability to mix PowerPoint slides with photos, MemoryFrame is

perfect for use in business for reception counters and desks. To keep it

secure in these high-traffic areas, MemoryFrame has a receptacle that

accepts a Kensington® compatible locking system. This adds protection

and security when used in business environments. See Figure 20.

Read the section of the manual “Caring for the Screen”

(Chapter 9) before removing the decorative frame. Try to

avoid touching the LCD screen during this process.

MemoryFrame has two “frame lock” tabs on the rear of the

unit. These are used to lock a decorative 5x7 frame in place.

There are two locations, one on each side. The “Locked”

position is toward the outside of the unit.

•

Pick up MemoryFrame with the LCD screen facing away

from you and fold in the Stand from the rear of the

MemoryFrame. Grasp the edges of the frame with thumbs

against the “frame lock” tabs on the rear of the unit.

•

Apply strong thumb pressure inward towards the center of

the frame until the frame locks are in the unlocked position.

A noticeable “click” may be heard when unlocked.

The wood 5x7 picture frame can now be pulled away from

the face of the MemoryFrame housing.

11. Purchasing New Decorative 5x7 Frames

MemoryFrame’s stylish design and unique ability to use virtually any

off-the-shelf wood 5x7 picture frame allows you to choose a frame that

matches your décor, whether it be cherry wood, walnut, oak, teak, etc.

This unique feature allows MemoryFrame to make a handsome display

in any home or office, suiting any motif.

Additional frames are available from Pacific Digital. Please see our

website for details: www.pacificdigital.com

Figure 21 – Sample 5 x 7 Frames

In addition to frames from Pacific Digital’s website, you can also

purchase standard 5x7 frames from your local store. The rest of this

section gives details on how to select a frame that is compatible with

MemoryFrame.

MemoryFrame works with many off the shelf wood 5”x7” picture

frames. The Figure below shows some examples of the types of frames

that work with MemoryFrame.

Figure 22 – Examples of wood frames

Size of Frames that Fit MemoryFrame

The frames can be of various dimensions, but they must fit 5” x 7”

pictures. The inner dimensions of frames that fit are approximately

11.9cm x 17 cm. The outer dimensions of the frames that work can vary

by as much as 2 cm in each direction. For example, as you can see in

the Figure 22, the rear-middle frame shown is slightly wider and taller

than the rest and this is fine.

Types of 5 x 7 Frames that Fit MemoryFrame

In general, most 5 x 7 frames come in three different basic types in terms

of how the photo and the stand mechanism are retained (secured) into the

frame. These three types are briefly described below. The first two

types are not usable by MemoryFrame, and only the third type described

will fit MemoryFrame:

1. Some 5x7 frames supply retention for the photo and the stand

mechanism by having metal clips attached to the wood itself which

either swivel or bend over the stand mechanism to provide retention.

Please note, that MemoryFrame cannot use this type of frame,

so purchase only type #3 below.

2. The second type of 5x7 frames have a slot in the bottom such

that the glass, picture, and stand-mechanism all slide up from the

bottom of the frame. Please note, MemoryFrame cannot use this

type of frame, so purchase only type #3 below.

MemoryFrame User’s Manual

3. The third type of 5x7 frame has a “groove” cut into the inside

perimeter of the frame, which is used by the stand mechanism to

swivel a metal clip into the groove for retention. This is the type of

frame that will work with MemoryFrame. A rear-view of this type

of required frame and the groove in the frame is shown in Figure 23.

Typically, this type of frame is made of wood, but sometimes is

made of metal or other materials.

Figure 23 – Example of groove in rear of frame

Retention Groove – Minimum Length

In the example 5x7 picture frames shown in this manual, the retention

groove extends around the entire interior perimeter of the rear of the

frame. It is not required for the groove to extend this far, but is

acceptable if it does. At minimum, the groove must be at least 1 inch in

length and be centered on each of the two short sides of the frame,

Grooves are not required on the long sides of the frame, but are

acceptable if present.

12. Troubleshooting / FAQ

Q: I have a USB camera connected, but MemoryFrame doesn’t

recognize my camera.

A: The camera will need to be set into the appropriate mode to transmit

its pictures. Many cameras have two modes of operation: proprietary

and standard (driver-less) mode, and the camera has menu items and/or

buttons that set the USB mode. The standard (driver-less) makes the

camera look like a drive-letter to Windows Explorer without the need for

the camera manufacturer's custom driver. This standard driverless mode

(called “disk-drive” mode by some cameras) is required to interface to

MemoryFrame. See your camera’s user manual for details of how to

prepare your camera for driver-less USB transfers.

Even though your camera is a USB model, your camera may not support

the USB Mass Storage specification. The DirectConnect^TMfeature of

MemoryFrame allows a user to directly attach a USB camera without the

need for a PC. For the DirectConnect feature of MemoryFrame to

operate seamlessly with your camera, the camera needs to support the

USB Mass Storage specification. This specification (co-authored by

Microsoft) is built into Windows®98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000,

and Windows XP. If a camera supports this spec, then it does NOT need

its own custom driver from the camera manufacturer for Windows to

recognize and be able to use it as a “drive letter” in Windows Explorer.

This allows you to drag pictures from the camera onto your hard-drive.

If your camera is not recognized by MemoryFrame, then the camera

won’t work in DirectConnect mode, and instead, such a non-compliant

camera must use either a PC (running Digital PixMaster software) or a

USB memory-card-reader in order to get its photos into the

MemoryFrame. Check the Pacific Digital website for a partial list of

cameras which are known to be compliant to the Microsoft USB Mass

Storage specification. You may also want to contact Pacific Digital

customer support at (888) 999-0732 to see if there is a software upgrade

available to support your camera.

Q: I did not need to install a custom driver for Windows® XP to

recognize my USB camera, but MemoryFrame still doesn’t recognize my

camera.

A: Your camera may not support the USB Mass Storage specification,

and Microsoft may have included the custom driver for your camera

MemoryFrame User’s Manual

model in the XP release. The DirectConnect specifies on the box that the

camera needs to support the USB Mass Storage specification. If your

camera is not recognized by MemoryFrame, then the camera won’t work

in DirectConnect mode, and instead, such a non-compliant camera must

use either a PC (running Digital PixMaster software) or a USB memory-

card-reader in order to get its photos into the MemoryFrame. Check the

Pacific Digital website for a list of cameras which are compliant to the

Microsoft USB Mass Storage specification. You may also want to

contact Pacific Digital customer support at (888) 999-0732 to see if there

is a software upgrade available to support your camera.

Q: With my camera connected, MemoryFrame doesn’t display any

pictures, even though I know there are pictures in the camera.

A: Your camera may be storing images in a non-standard format.

MemoryFrame frame only supports standard JPEG (.JPG) files. Consult

your camera’s documentation to learn if your camera can be configured

to store pictures in JPEG (.jpg) format. Alternatively, you can transfer

the photos first to your PC. The bundled Digital PixMaster software can

download the following picture formats to MemoryFrame: JPEG, BMP,

ICO, or GIF.

Q: With my camera connected, picture display seems to be slow.

A: Your picture files may be very high-resolution. Large picture files

take longer to display. Many cameras allow you to choose between

different picture storage resolutions. To maximize MemoryFrame

responsiveness, take your pictures with the camera on its lowest

resolution setting.

Q: I have attached a USB card reader to MemoryFrame with my

camera’s memory-card inserted, but MemoryFrame does not recognize

the USB card-reader.

A: Even though your card-reader is a USB model, your card-reader may

not support the USB Mass Storage specification. The DirectConnect^TM

feature of MemoryFrame allows a user to directly attach a USB card-

reader without the need for a PC. For this DirectConnect feature of

MemoryFrame, it is specified that the card-reader needs to support the

USB Mass Storage specification. This spec (co-authored by Microsoft) is

built into Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows

XP. If a card-reader supports this specification, then it does NOT need

its own custom driver from the card-reader manufacturer for Windows to

recognize and be able to utilize as a “drive letter” in Windows Explorer.

This specification allows you to drag pictures from the card-reader onto

your hard-drive without requiring a custom Driver. If your card-reader is

not recognized by MemoryFrame, then the card-reader won’t work in

DirectConnect mode. Such a non-compliant card-reader must use a PC

(running Digital PixMaster software) in order to get its photos into the

MemoryFrame.

Q: I have attached a USB card reader to MemoryFrame with my

camera’s memory-card inserted. MemoryFrame sees the card-reader but

does not see the pictures.

A: Your camera may not be storing pictures on the memory-cards in

standard MS-DOS compatible format, or your camera may be storing

images in a non-standard format. MemoryFrame only supports standard

JPEG (.JPG) files. Consult your camera’s documentation to learn if your

camera can be configured to store pictures JPEG (.jpg) format. You may

also want to contact Pacific Digital customer support at (888) 999-0732

to see if there is a software upgrade available to support your camera.

Alternatively, you can transfer the photos first to your PC. The bundled

Digital PixMaster software can download the following picture formats

to MemoryFrame: JPEG, BMP, ICO, or GIF.

Q: My MemoryFrame has fingerprints on the LCD screen. How do I

clean it without scratching the screen?

A: The screen on MemoryFrame is made of glass and is extremely

delicate. It can be easily scratched. Treat the screen with care and avoid

touching it. If the screen does become dirty, use a soft, absorbent cloth

(not tissue paper) dampened with water. Do not use glass cleaners to

clean it unless they are specifically recommended as LCD cleaning

solutions.

Q: Where can I find additional known resolved issues and information to

help me solve a problem on my MemoryFrame?

A: A list of additional resolved issues and information is posted on the

Pacific Digital WEB site at www.PacificDigital.com

14. Upgrading MemoryFrame Firmware

Software Updates May Be Available

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 to your

MF-570 software.

How to Download MemoryFrame Software updates

Go to www.pacificdigital.com

Follow the links to the MemoryFrame firmware update page.

Updates to the MemoryFrame firmware should be downloaded to

your PC’s hard-drive.

How to Update MemoryFrame Software

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, as described in the section below.

Preparing MemoryFrame to Communicate to a PC

The MemoryFrame cannot be managed or communicate with a PC

while it is in its menu system mode. In all cases, you must be in

photo slideshow display mode for Digital PixMaster to

communicate. Exit any on-board button menus and return to

displaying the current slideshow. This will place the MemoryFrame

in the mode that is required to communicate with the PC.

Digital PixMaster’s Update Firmware Command

Page 54

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

MemoryFrame User’s Manual

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.

Next, from the “MemoryFrame” pull-down menu of Digital

PixMaster, select “Update Firmware.” Follow the on-screen

instructions to point to the updated firmware file (with a “.bin” file

extension) that you just downloaded from the Pacific Digital

website to your hard-drive.

After you click on the OPEN box to select the .bin firmware update

file, Digital PixMaster will display a progress bar to indicate the

transfer of the file to MemoryFrame.

On the MemoryFrame’s LCD screen, the MemoryFrame will

display a sequence of messages to show the progress of the

firmware update. The first progress message is:

“FIRMWARE BEING DOWNLOADED, PLEASE WAIT”

Important! When the progress bar shown in Digital PixMaster is

complete, it only signifies that the file has been transferred, and it is just

the beginning of the MemoryFrame’s actual process of updating its

firmware.

If a transfer error occurs, the MemoryFrame will display the

following message:

“BAD FLASH DOWNLOAD, PLEASE RETRY”

If so, retry the update by select “Update Firmware” from the

“MemoryFrame” pull-down menu of Digital PixMaster.

When the MemoryFrame receives the updated firmware file, the

MemoryFrame will erase the current firmware portion of its

memory and program in the new firmware image. You must wait up

to five (5) minutes for the frame to complete the software upgrade.

Important! Do not unplug or cut power to the MemoryFrame or PC

during the upgrade process! A loss of power could erase both old

and new operating systems, leaving the MemoryFrame inoperable.

Page 55

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

MemoryFrame User’s Manual

The MemoryFrame will display the following sequence of messages

to show the progress of the firmware update:

“FLASH BEING ERASED”

“FLASH BEING LOADED”

“READING FLASH”

“VERIFYING FLASH”

If an error occurs in the above process (either

erase, loading, or verification), the MemoryFrame will display the

following message:

“REDO FLASH- DON’T POWER OFF ( error code number)”

Caution! Important! Do not unplug or cut power to the

MemoryFrame or PC. The above error message indicates that there

was an error (either erase, loading, or verification) during the

firmware update. The firmware update MUST BE RE-DONE and

the PICTURE FRAME MUST NOT BE POWERED OFF BEFORE

THAT during the upgrade process! A loss of power could erase both

old and new operating systems, leaving the MemoryFrame

inoperable.

If no errors occur, then once the new firmware update file has been

loaded into the MemoryFrame’s storage memory, the

MemoryFrame will indicate it is done by displaying the following

message indicating when you can reset the MemoryFrame:

“PLEASE POWER THE MEMORYFRAME OFF/ON”

Only then can you turn the MemoryFrame OFF, then turn it back

ON. When the MemoryFrame goes into normal operation, the

upgrade has been completed.

Enjoy the new firmware!
