About a Memory Stick

On Memory Sticks

Memory Stick is a new compact, portable

and versatile IC recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. Memory Stick is specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data among Memory Stick compatible products. Because it is removable, Memory Stick can also be used for external data storage.

Types of Memory Sticks

There are two types of Memory Sticks: the MagicGate Memory Stick that is equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection technology, and the general

Memory Stick. You can use both types of Memory Stick with your projector.

However, because your projector does not support the MagicGate standards, data recorded with your projector is not subject to MagicGate copyright protection.

On MagicGate

MagicGate is copyright protection technology that uses encryption technology.

Format to save a file

Material for a presentation converted by the Projector Station for Presentation is saved in the following file formats in the Memory Stick.

• Image files (DCF-compatible) compressed in the JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format (extension .jpg).

• The Sony Projector Presentation file (SPP file), which is an original file format of Sony. This file integrates information such as the destination and the setting information of the image file, etc.
