Applications
Your VAIO computer comes with a collection of applications that make it easy to
use advanced multimedia formats. This section describes the Digital Media Park
applications and the digital video capabilities.
Media Bar™
Media Bar software is your all-in-one solution for audio/video playback. Media Bar
software handles all common computer multimedia formats, and controls certain Sony
devices. Media Bar software encompasses audio/video library cataloging and playlist
management, in addition to digital video quality control and effects features. Media Bar
seamlessly integrates a variety of new media formats with an easy-to-use software
interface.
DVgate™
DVgate makes it easy to edit digital videos. You can grab and edit digital video clips, and
then assemble them into a polished home video everyone will enjoy. You can also use
DVgate to capture individual frames from digital video clips, and then save them as
graphic files. Enhance your Web page, send family and friends your favorite stills, create
your own wallpaper—the possibilities are endless.
PictureGear™
PictureGear is a digital image management application that allows you to see all the
images stored in any directory on your computer. Thumbnail views provide quick
reminders of your pictures. Brighten, contrast, enhance, resize, crop, and color-correct
your pictures. Create panoramic views, animations, screen savers, wallpaper, and even
HTML photo albums.
Smart Capture
Smart Capture is a fun new way to send multimedia messages via e-mail. Smart Capture
manages the i.LINK® connection between your computer and a Sony Digital Handycam
Camcorder, or other cameras that support the i.LINK interface. Smart Capture allows you to
capture and compress video or still images that you can save or share via e-mail. Captures
are low resolution, making it ideal for e-mail. For high-quality captures, use DVgate.
