I post this message on many forums after having contacted Sony Support last week.
In my conversation with Sony support they advised me that unfortunately
Snow Leopard is not currently supported by the current versions of XDCAM
related software’s from Sony.
Since this is a very recent release from Apple that involves significant
change to the Mac OS it may take several months, perhaps winter or
spring for full Snow Leopard support from Sony. The exact schedule is
still TBD.
It is therefore recommended to continue using the most recent release of
Leopard to maintain smooth operation of the XDCAM software within the
Mac environment.
For your reference the latest Sony software release versions are as
below:
As of August 26th 2009
PDW-U1 v 2.420
PDW-U1 Utility for PC or Mac v 2.21
FAM Driver 2.20 comes with the PDZ-1 software or XDT for Mac
PDZ-1 v 2.60
XDCAM Viewer 2.30 PC only separate from PDZ-1
XDCAM TRANSFER for FCP v 2.10.0
EX Browser 2.5.1
Thanks for your continued support of XDCAM!
So you may find it often but i have done this to avoid the rush of Too Fast Fatal Upgrading.
