Getting the Current Slideshow from the MemoryFrame
From the 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 images (and associated delay
times, fill-colors, delays, WAV files etc.) from its memory to the PC.
Once complete, you can save or edit this show.
9.3
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 and then Save the
existing show before sending a new one.
First open the show you want to send on the PC. From the 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 the slideshow to the
MemoryFrame
. During this time the
MemoryFrame
will erase its current slideshow, and then read in the new
show saving it into internal memory. After clicking 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 until the new slideshow is playing.
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 memory, the
MemoryFrame
will indicate it is finished by displaying the first image of
the new slideshow.
