DVgate
Sony Electronics
DVgate is a kit of 3 complementary applications: DVgate Motion, DVgate Still, and DVgate
Assemble.
Edit the rushes you have shot with your digital video camera recorder using this video-capture
application, specially tuned for high-quality numeric movies. When connected to your camera
via i.LINK
TM
, your computer operates as an editing desk that can preview, cut and assemble
your selection and save the sequences in AVI format.
Attaching a DV device to the i.LINK
TM
connector enables you to transfer the images you have
captured to your hard drive. DVgate Still displays digital video images sent from a digital video
cassette recorder or a digital video camera recorder, and captures them as still pictures on your
notebook computer.
For details, please read the DVgate Help file.
Media Bar (DVD Player / MD Player)
Sony Electronics
The Media Bar is a command and control center designed to assist you in organizing and playing
your entire collection of audio and video files. The Media Bar allows you to play audio CDs,
video CDs, and DVDs in the DVD-ROM drive or play audio or video files in various formats on
your hard drive. Video images are displayed in a separate Movie window, which you can move
and resize (to full screen).
When you connect a Sony MD deck that includes a CONTROL A1 or Control A1 II jack to your
computer, you can use MD Player to operate the MD deck from the computer.
In addition to the normal MD playback operations, you can edit MiniDiscs
®
while viewing the
computer's display and input disk names and track names using the computer's keyboard.
If you connect a Sony CD Player that includes a CONTROL A1 or Control A1 II jack to the MD
deck, you can also operate the CD player (playback) from the computer and carry out drag-and-
drop recording from a CD to an MD.
For details, please read the Media Bar Help file.
