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 3. 

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

Use the Digital PixMaster (Digital PixMaster)™ software to transfer the 
software update to the MemoryFrame.  The Digital PixMaster icon 
should be located on the 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 Digital Spectrum website to the 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.

sequence of messages to show the progress of the firmware update.  The 
first progress message is: 

Important!  When the progress bar shown in Digital PixMaster is

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

If a transfer error occurs, the MemoryFrame will display the following 
message: 

If so, retry the update by select “Update Firmware” from the 
“MemoryFrame” pull-down menu of Digital PixMaster.

MemoryFrame includes a patented “changeable frame” mechanism that lets 
you install a standard 8x10 frame available nearly everywhere, in a style to 
suit your décor. Frames can be changed in moments 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. 

MemoryFrame stores up to 80 images internally, playing on a 10.4” active 
matrix TFT display at 800x600 pixel screen resolution. Stored images can 
also be associated with audio clips (.wav files). MemoryFrame includes 
built-in stereo speakers, with mute and volume control. The 
MemoryFrame also includes Audio Out connector for external speaker 
connection, adding another dimension of impact. 

Network Enabled -  MemoryFrame is Ethernet and 802.11 wireless 
enabled via the USB port. Digital Spectrum has certified a variety of 
Ethernet and wireless adapters for use with the MemoryFrame.  Many 
units can be in the network displaying different slideshows. This also 
allows the MemoryFrame  to be mounted in a wall when a permanent 
installation is desired. 

Web Enabled - MemoryFrame is also Web enabled so that the 
MemoryFrame can be a target in internet based photo sharing sites. After 
registering the unit and “buddy list”, your guests can send their latest 
pictures directly to the MemoryFrame where it will begin to play the 
additional photos. 

The front panel of the MemoryFrame is designed so that a standard 
8”x10” wood frame can be easily mounted and secured.  MemoryFrame 
includes built-in wall mount slots for landscape and portrait wall 
mounting, along with a removable stand for desktop use.. Other mounting 
accessories are available such as pole stands, VESA brackets, unique 
decorative frames, etc.
