Setting up a VAIO Media server computer
Any networked VAIO ® computer that came from the factory with VAIO Media installed can be used as a VAIO Media server
for music and image files. To be a VAIO Media server for video files, a computer must have Giga Pocket 5.0 software or later
installed.
To set up a VAIO Media server computer
1. Prepare your multimedia content.
 Music files
Use SonicStage 1.5 software to create playlists of music files on your VAIO Media server computer. The
VAIO Media Music Server software automatically makes SonicStage 1.5 playlists available to VAIO Media
users on your network.
 Image files
Place image files in JPEG, GIF, BMP, or TIFF format into the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Photo Server\VAIO Media
to make them available to VAIO Media users on your network.
 Video files
Use Giga Pocket 5.0 or later to create cabinets of Video Capsules on your VAIO Media server computer.
The VAIO Media Video Server software automatically makes Giga Pocket 5.0 or later cabinets available
to VAIO Media users on your network.
2. Use the VAIO Media Console software on the VAIO Media server computer to start the appropriate VAIO
Media servers (VAIO Media Music Server, VAIO Media Photo Server software, or VAIO Media Video Server.)
To start the VAIO Media Console software:
 Click Start, and click All Programs.
 Point to VAIO Media, point to Server Administration, and click Console.
Your VAIO Media server computer is now available to serve multimedia content to VAIO Media client computers on your
network
To make additional SonicStage playlists or Giga Pocket cabinets available to VAIO Media users on your network, create
the playlists or cabinets, stop the VAIO Media Music Server software or the VAIO Media Video Server software using the
VAIO Media Console software, and then restart the appropriate server software. The music playlist and video cabinet
content shared to the network is only updated when the server software is started.
