How to Use ne/Frames on Digital Screens and Monitors
ne/Frames are available as video, PowerPoint and jpeg images. Once downloaded, they can be viewed directly on a computer or displayed on a digital photo frame or monitor. The steps to add images to a digital frame or monitor vary by device. Follow the upload and display directions for the device you are using to display the ne/Frames. You determine the pace at which the ne/frames are shown; desired slideshow time is 7-10 seconds per slide. Each slide is separate, and numbered to show in a particular order. After all the slides have shown, the program will loop back and start again.
