The Sinar Cyber Kit gives large- and medium-format digital camera users mobility and independence from a laptop or desktop computer. The system includes a specially designed mobile computer with a built-in touch screen and 20GB hard disk, which accommodates approximately 1,400 images.

Photographs can be viewed in contact or full-screen modes, with a zoom feature also provided. Histogram displays and an exposure control enable image adjustments to be made immediately. Images are saved to disk in a background operation, so exposures can be made at approximately one shot per second. Files can be downloaded from the Cyber Kit via the Sinar fiber-optic connection or Ethernet.
