Configuring VAIO Media software

VAIO Media™ software manages the interaction between RoomLink™ and your VAIO® computer(s), by enabling the computer(s) to act as a music, photo, and video servers. A VAIO computer that shipped with VAIO Media™ software preinstalled can be used as a VAIO Media server in a network environment.

VAIO Media software must be running when you access Giga Pocket™ Personal Video Recorder, SonicStage™, or PictureGear Studio™ software.

Preparing your multimedia content.

❑Music files—Use SonicStage™ software, ver.1.5, to create Playlists of music tracks on your VAIO Media server computer. The VAIO Media Music Server™ software automatically makes these Playlists available to VAIO Media users on your network.

❑Still Image files—To make your still image files available to VAIO Media users on your network, place the still image files (JPEG, GIF, BMP, or TIFF format) into the folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Photo Server\VAIO Media For specific information about this folder and location:

1 Click Start on the Windows® taskbar and select All Programs.

2 Point to VAIO Media, point to Server Administration, and then click Photo Server ReadMe.

3 Read the description on the designated folder.

❑Video Capsules—Use Giga Pocket software, ver.5.0 or later, to create cabinets containing Video Capsules on your VAIO Media server computer. The VAIO Media Video Server™ software automatically makes these cabinets available to VAIO Media users on your network.

Setting up a VAIO Media server computer

Use the preinstalled VAIO Media Console™ software on your VAIO® computer to start the appropriate VAIO Media™ servers (VAIO Media Music Server™, VAIO Media Photo Server™, or VAIO Media Video Server™).
