Description:

System Tray access and sync monitor for TotalMedia from Arcsoft - "an all-in-one multimedia application that allows you to access and work with digital photos, home videos, recorded TV programs, radio and your digital music library right from your TV or home computer." The sync monitor initiates the sync schedule that you have set and once it's time to sync the scheduled files, the program starts automatically. Exiting the sync monitor prevents scheduled sync from occurring until it is restarted
