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.
