  • Software for PDW 350 XD-HD Cinalta Camera and FCP 6.0

    Posted by Mpigott on April 1, 2008 at 6:32 pm

    Hi!
    This is my first post so please bear with me.

    We bought a PDW 350 XD-HD Cinealta Camera
    and I am curious as to how to directly (digitally)
    load up a browser from the PDW 350 XD- HD
    (herein called the CAMERA) ,
    so that we can read it on the Mac and load it into
    our FCP 6.0

    1)No software came with the camera, so is there a weblink
    for Sony where this software can be acquired?

    We are running FCP 6.0 on 10.4.10 OS on a Dual 2.5Ghz
    Power PC G5 with 2GB DDR SRAM.

    We’d like to import this way rather than through the SDI inputs
    on the Kona 2 board.

    Any guidance is much appreciated!

    You should install the Sony XDCAM Transfer software on your Mac:
    I currently use the 2.5 release but 2.1 is OK.

    Plug your F350 camcorder with a firewire cable on the Mac.
    Your F350 should be set to I-Link mode FAM (Menu 10 in Operation menu).
    Once your XDCAM disk appears on your desktop, go to File>import>Sony XDCAM.
    The XDCAM Transfer opens with your proxy files visibles.Import of XDCAM HD files is quite fast.
    This way, you get native XDCAM HD on your drives.
    Quite simple and straitghtforward.

    “2GB DDR SRAM”. I think 2GD additionnal should be better…
