Applications

Your VAIO® computer comes with a collection of applications that make it easy to use advanced multimedia formats. This section highlights the 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 selected 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 capture, edit, and grab 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.
