Smart Capture
Sony Electronics
Connect a digital camera to your computer to shoot still images and video clips, which you can view or send
by e-mail. The Smart Capture Finder displays images from the camera and allows you to adjust the settings
or create effects. Smart Capture enables you to capture images via i.LINK™ compatible devices or create a
panorama picture using the panorama assist function.
SonicStage
Sony Electronics
SonicStage is software using the OpenMG technology, a copyright protection technology developed by Sony
Corporation and designed to allow recording and playback of digital music data on a personal computer.
Once the data is encrypted and recorded onto the hard disk, OpenMG technology allows it to be played back
on the PC but prevents unauthorised distribution. The purpose of OpenMG technology is to create an
environment in which larger quantities of high-quality music can be distributed without subsequent
unauthorised distribution of the music files.
The SonicStage software encrypts and manages music files either downloaded to a personal computer by
using the EMD services or adopted (or created) from your own CD or the Internet.
To use the CD-R functions, you will need to install the CD-R module from the supplied application
CD-ROM.
