Sony Digital Media Park 
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 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 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 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 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.
