How to Use ne/Frames on Digital Screens
ne/Frames are available as video, PowerPoint and jpeg images. They can be downloaded and viewed directly on a computer or downloaded to a flash drive for use with a digital picture screen. 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.
