Available in 8", 10", 12", 15" and 17" sizes, the digital frames are manufactured under the brand names of MemoryFrame (MF), MemoryVue (MV), NuTouch (NT) and NuVue (NV). The frames range from simple digital picture frames that just display photos to multi-media frames that add audio and video capabilities to wireless and web-enabled frames.

Please see the update below on the future plans of Digital Spectrum regarding the company's phaseout of consumer digital frames.
The Wireless Digital Spectrum frames all have changeable frames to suit any decor and come with 256MB of internal memory.

The MF-810, 810S, 800-Plus and 1040-Plus are unique digital frames in that they can all transfer directly from a digital camera without a memory card. All are capable of fitting virtually any 8"x10" picture frame to match any decor. An 8x10 frame is included with each.

The Digital Spectrum's MemoryFrame models operate with the vast majority of USB Mass Storage compliant digital cameras in use today.

These special frames come in 4 models--10.4”, 12”, 15” and 17”. These are relatively low cost frames (the 10.4” is $349), which come with digital signage software for use in locations such as waiting areas, shop fronts, restaurants, menu boards, Houses of Worship, real estate offices, repair shops, schools, colleges, service areas, etc. Any message can be displayed, such as special offers, what’s new, on sale, clearance, services, welcome, holiday specials, announcements and more. Please note as in the Update below, Digital Spectrum will be expanding its Commercial Digital Signage frame division to accommodate businesses with larger frame needs. The frames sizes will go as high as 42" and will be available for use in locations such as airports.
Digital Spectrum is in the process of phasing out its consumer digital frames. The company's main focus will be expansion of its Commercial Digital Signage division. Personal digital frames that are still in inventory will be available for sale on the company's website until they are gone. This has implications for those who already have Digital Spectrum consumer digital frames or those who were planning to buy them in the future. It will become more and more difficult to find the frames, parts and accessories, though it will be quite some time before Amazon or eBay also run out. Tech support will not be available. You can always contact me, however, if you have a technical problem with a Digital Spectrum frame. I will do my best to come up with a viable solution for you. Top of Digital Spectrum Digital Frames
