Sony software

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 In/Out on your camera), and saves them as
graphic files on your hard drive.
Jog Dial™ Utility
Sony Electronics
The Jog Dial™ utility allows you to configure the Jog Dial™ on your computer. In this application, you can
select the Sony applications, or others, that you want the Jog Dial™ to pilot; you can also configure the
Jog Dial™ to start any application, establish a dial-up connection, or read an e-mail, simply by turning and
pressing the Jog Dial™. Finally, the Jog Dial™ utility allows you to configure your i.LINK™ connections, and
to set a timer that can launch any application at a specific time.
