Using DVgate Still
DVgate Still is an application that displays digital video images sent from DV devices such as a digital
videocassette recorder or a digital video camera recorder and that captures them as still pictures.
The following functions are featured:
❑ Control the connected DV device and display a video image on the screen of your VAIO.
❑ Capture 30 frames of still pictures in total with respectively 15 frames in the forward and backward
directions.
❑ Capture only one frame of a still picture.
❑ Save a captured still picture in BMP, JPEG, GIF or DVF format.
✍
The sound recorded with the image, is not played.
Capturing pictures
There are two capture modes in DVgate Still: the Continuous Capture mode and the Single Frame
Capture mode.
❑ Continuous Capture mode:
If you capture pictures during Play mode, you can capture 30 frames of still pictures in total with
respectively 15 frames in the forward and backward directions. All still pictures already captured, are
lost. If you capture during
Pause mode, you can capture only one frame of a still picture.
✍
Immediately after you capture during Play mode in Continuous Capture mode, the DV device pauses. This is normal.
❑ Single Frame Capture mode:
You can capture one frame of a still picture. The captured result is the same even if you capture during
Play or Pause mode.
✍
Capturing 30 frames in Continuous Capture mode replaces all 30 frames. Capturing only one frame overwrites the first frame of the still picture,
capturing the next frame overwrites the second frame, and so on.
