Orderd the PMWEX1 16G Card?

[Michael Slowe]

Thanks Craig for your suggestions. I can only take HD media into Media 100 through HD-SDI and their video card will handle it (does now for taking in HD from the Convergent Design HD-Connect) but I was wanting to check that what comes out of the XDCAM Ex through SDI output is video not just files from the card.
I have 4TB’s of storage and I don’t mind the real time transfer which is how I acquire video at present. Actually I don’t think that the Ex camera files are .MFX, I read somewhere that they are a ‘wrapped’ MPEG 4. As I said, my problem is that Media 100 don’t (won’t) support XDCAM but I want to stay with that system for editing and don’t want to switch to Final Cut.

Too many fast changes in this business for an old man!

HD-SDI out of the EX1 is industry standard format.
The XDCAM files are wrapped in .mp4.
Sony is providing free Clip Browser software and they’ll be various means to unwrap it.
Also the files are 1920×1080 rather than 1440×1080 found in F330/F350 but the Clip Browser may handle that too.
