DVgate
Sony Electronics
DVgate is a kit of 3 complementary applications: DVgate Motion, DVgate Still, and DVgate Assemble. This
collection makes it easy to select and edit digital video clips, then bring them together into a professional-
looking home video. Use i.LINK™ to connect your digital video camera, and the computer operates as an
editing desk that can capture, preview, cut and assemble your selection and save the sequences in AVI and
MPEG1 formats. DVgate Still displays digital video images sent from a digital video cassette recorder or a
digital video camera recorder (only possible if you have DV Out on your camera), and saves them as graphic
files on your hard drive.
