Hello,

Have you tried to clean the lens, both front and back…as in taking it off the camera…using can air and blow it clean. also do the glass element on the front of the camera…many years ago, this happened on my Sony BVW-300a betacam…and it was just dust. BUT…it could also be a “dead pixel”…if you put the camera on 6db gain and if it gets “brighter”….not good….try a good cleaning first….

I hope it all works out…

Try this..use MAC when it says PC, it will be the same:

– Install the Sony Content Browser to your laptop -(run the mac version). Make sure that you “check”..the CRC box in options, then edit….this is important

Plug your portable hard drive to the USB port (most standard for the portable hard drive). Your laptop should recognize this device.

I would recommend to create each directory for each card. Therefore if you are planning to use total 10 cards (even you have only 2 SxS cards). You will create 10 directories total as:
1. double click on your portable hard drive – it will open that drive
2. on top of that window select FILE – NEW – FOLDER (type card1 or whatever name you want).
Repeat step 2 for the next directory (folder) name ….

After shooting one card, you take SxS and insert into the reader.
Run the Sony Clip Browser. It will open with 3 windows: 2 on top of each other on the left side and the Preview is on the right side.
on the top left window (Explorer) it will show all the devices (hard drive which connected to computer).
When you select your SxS card (click on the card), it will display all the thumbnails for you.

now go to the lower left window (EXplorer) – you click on your portable drive.
Click on directory CARD1 (to open this directory / folder).

Now go back to the upper left window with all the thumbnails of your SxS card – right click on the mouse – Select All (all the thumbnails / clips will be highlighted). Hold the left button on the mouse and drag it down to the lower window (you will see the (+) sign) – release your left button of the mouse.

All files on your SxS are copied to your portable drive.

Typical I would create 2 copies. One on the portable drive and one on my laptop for safer. What if one failed I still have other one.

this came from Sony several years ago and this is what I do and it works…Best of lucks

what country are you in? and you should use Sony Content Browser…and what format do you use…PC or Mac?

Do you just want to do a simple data transfer from the SxS card to a hard drive folder?

that is correct…audio will always follow video in HD-SDI..its the way Sony built the camera…but you can always turn down the audio on the external recorder? are you using a Atomos box????

Well, as my understanding..its always “on”. Just make sure and check the menu under camera..to see if its set on HD-SDI out put.

as I use my Marshall monitor all the time to see what I am recording, when I do a long interview or a live shot and it works just fine.

hope this helps…
