yes, it’s possible. the proxies are very small. an hour of Proxy would be less than 1 GB. a 10 second clips is about 3 MB. make sure you maintain the MSSONY folder structure when copying/sending.

again, it’s just a dongle, not much to see. it comes separately and mounts internally. the wifi adaptor mounts on the outside near the handle.

They need to be in the file structure that’s recorded/copied from the camera and also they need to be read from an external USB drive. If you copy the files keep the whole ‘MSSONY’ folder.

It’s a small hardware dongle. It will come with installation instructions.

You need the CBKUPG01 hardware key to activate the wifi.
You can use the XMPilot tool on iOS devices or Sony Experia phones to stream proxy and perform live logging/metadata entry. You can also do this from a laptop using Content Browser (though you need the Advanced Pack option)..
-
If you record or copy directly to USB the files can be played back with Browser. The camera is pretty forgiving with USB sticks. We’ve tested with Sandisk, Kingston, PNY and Lexar sticks up to 64 GB.

Check that your FAM driver and camera firmware are up to date. Otherwise I am not sure why Vegas is not exporting and don’t have a v9 system to check on. Try using the V Pro 12 trial (free for 30 days). The current version can render to XDCAM MXF but you still need to first put the clips into a sequence.

Not 100% sure with that version of Vegas; I’d need to check the MXF export options. I’m pretty sure you need to put the footage into a Timeline first. Have you tried going to a blank, newly-formatted disc? Even on imports it’s failing?
-
Use the ‘Export to XDCAM disc’ button (icon of optical disc with an arrow) in the XDCAM Explorer instead of file–>Export. Or, for File–>Export, make sure you write to /CLIP and not the root of the disc.
Also make sure you are writing the same format as the other clips on the disc (unless Mixed Recording is enabled in the Maintenance menu).

great news..
no real downside to leaving it enabled. actually it’s better IMO because you know you’ll never run into an issue where you copy a bunch of files to a drive and have duplicate Cxxx.mxf filenames..
