Re name SXS card

[Ian Cook]

Again, try not going fro USB to USB– any improvement? It may be a bus speed or driver overhead issue on the Mac. Generally we get about 2-2.5x

Hi Ian

The EXT HDD is firewire.. is that what you mean by not going USB to USB..?

What does that mean bus speed or driver over head issue..? what can I do to check/change this.. the Mac is about 2yrs old..

Thanks again

You can use the XDCAM Transfer utility app to rename the card. When you put the card in the camera, it will ask to do a restore, but the name will stay. I have a dozen or so cards that I do this with and only need to rename if I have to re-initialize in the field, in which case, I’ll have a laptop to rename the card with.

This works with Mac OS10.6. Have not attempted with Windows OS or Lion.

Hi Will

Thanks for your response..

What do you mean by this..I always do a format in the camera after down loading on a laptop..?

Has XDCAM transfer been super seeded by XDCAM browser v2..

Thanks
