Sony SxS Device and UDF drivers with Mavericks (Mac OS 10.9) support
The Mavericks qualified SxS Device driver is available on the Sony Pro media site:
Please note that the confusion around this release stems from the fact that while the driver here is labeled 1.1.1 the version inside the .zip file is actually 1.1.2. The release info was not pushed to the site correctly when Japan updated the driver file. I will fix this ASAP.
The Mavericks-qualified UDF driver is available here:

As always, if you need both (i.e. if you use an Express Card slot) install the Device Driver first followed by the UDF driver.

Ian, is this update recommended for all users or just those folks on Mavericks?
-
Ian, I have just spent over two hours trying to get our MAcBook Pro with Mavericks to read our SxS cards and after following your advice to the letter…..it still does not work. Please can someone from SONY sort this out !
-
Ian, this still is not working. Can we get someone from Sony to comment on when they will have the drivers needed for Mavericks. I followed your advice to the letter but when you look at the SxS Device Driver info you will see that it is still dated 2011 !

If you go to Mac HD/System/Library/Extensions and do a Get Info on the SxS driver, do you see version 1.1.2? If you are installing the Device and UDF drivers, are you doing the device driver first followed by the UDF?

This problem is now fixed (finally!) with the 10.9.2 update. It seems the 17 inch 2010 MBP was singled out!

To Ian, Ron and all those concerned, thankyou. The problem has been fixed by using this download:
Now whilst this works on our 17″ MacBook Pro, Sony here in New Zealand & Australia are suggesting this download:
>> Downloads >> SxS Card Drivers >> SxS Pro Device Driver >> MAC >> V1.1.2.10220
“Then double check on your Mac that this is indeed what is installed.
If using the external card reader, SBAC-US10 (USB2) or SBAC-US20 (USB-3), then drivers are not required.
Our North Ryde office (Sydney) has also confirmed that the above driver does work with internal SxS Card Slot with Maverick” says Clive Cannon, Technical Product Specialist, Broadcast Cameras at Sony NZ -
Thanks for the feedback. I know the 1.1.2 driver works under Mavericks but there are certain machines on which it doesn’t. We have the same version on our site, though (see my earlier post) it’s mislabeled as the older version.
Also that first link you posted is the firewire FAM driver for optical XDCAM products. It has no bearing on SxS.

Hi Ian.I understand what you saying about the FAM Driver, but it does include the SxS driver. Regardless it has done the trick for our machine 🙂

Anyone have a solution to this problem? I’ve got a late 2009 model iMac and since I “upgraded” to mavericks two days ago, I cannot get Clip Browser to work or my sxs cards mounted. I’ve tried, I think, everything listed here. I uninstalled and re-installed the latest version of EX Clip Browser, I installed the SxS Driver update and the UDF driver as suggested (in that order), and the FAM driver and Driver tool for good measure, and nothing is working.
Either the Clip Browser does not show the SxS cards or it crashes immediately on launch. (I’ve read elsewhere that it will crash if the SxS cards are already connected to the computer. I don’t have a SxS card driver, I transfer them directly from my EX1r to my iMac via USB.
I checked there version of the drivers and it says 2.1.1d003 instead of 1.1.2. Am I looking at the right thing in the Extensions folder? There are four listings for SxSLogicalUnitDriver and they are all Version 2.1.1d003.
I’ve been struggling with this for two days. Has anyone else run across this problem?

Did you run the latest Mavericks update to 10.9.2? This solved an existing issue that caused much of the behavior you describe. If you’ve done this already I would remove all the SxS components and reinstall them. You must to the Device Driver first, then the UDF driver. Also you should be using these with the latest version of our Content Browser app. The older EX Clip Browser is no longer supported and will not run correctly under Mavericks.
