New XDCAM Browser

[Jay Gladwell]

Not ignoring you, Pat. I can’t be of any help as I’m a PC person.

Maybe Craig will have an answer for you.

Hi Dave,

You can natively export XDCAM optical MXF files from Vegas & Avid with no additional plugins.

You mention cost– all of the XDCAM applications are provided free. XDCAM Browser will have a free base module with a chargeable add-on package from Sony and a chargeable Main Concept codec bundle (as with Clip Browser).

The chargeable feature pack will include mostly Optical XDCAM features such as support for Live Logging, EDL creation and planning metadata (XML files with descriptive metadata that can be sent via wi-fi to XD Optical camcorders). EX-applicable add-on features include support for adding GPS info to MP4/MXF files and support for burning BPAVs to Blu Ray DVDs.

We have no illusions about the foreground processing limitation and are aggressively lobbying to get that changed.

While there will be no further development of XDCAM Transfer and the other existing apps you will not have to change over to the Browser right away if you prefer XDCAM Transfer or PDZ-1. (Although PMW-500 users will need it for MXF on SxS support and for formatting SxS cards in UDF mode.)
