Replacement part # for the rubber eye cup is 387820801. Replacement part # for the Loupe (the magnifier between the eye cup and the box that goes over the LCD) is 178876611. You can order online at https://www.sony.com/servicesplus or by calling Sony Parts at 800 538 7550. These are classified as parts, not accessories, so you have to go through the Parts dept to get them..

There are user guides in .pdf with the download and also a compiled HTML help file accessible through the Help menu.

I’m afraid this is normal. Premiere Pro will only retain the updated metadata if:
-You archive your media first and then do your logging/updating of the stored card/disc image
-You edit from the original media
The former seems like a fairly painless workaround but it depends on your overall ingest/logging/storage workflow.
We have asked Adobe to take another look at this and hope to see the metadata handling improve soon.

This is normal for PPro (CS6 works the same way); let me check with Adobe on when we might see this change. The metadata is part of the disc images you are creating and should carry over. Other editors can see it fine. I know that with the introduction of Prelude there was supposed to be a big update in the amount of metadata Premiere supports but we may have to wait for the next dot release.

JFYI re the title metadata vs file names– the files on the drive retain their original names when you apply titles. Titles and File Names are separate entities. The title is a piece of optional metadata that the NLE or other software has to parse out of the MXF/MP4; the file name is mandatory and isn’t changed unless you change it at the disc level or using special software (easier to do with MXF than MP4 because of how the file systems work)..

yes, you can go directly to 1.4 from any prior version including 1.0 without intermediate steps

The documentation is a little vague; I’ll see what I can do about getting that clarified. I had to step through each Copy All (with and without ‘Specify…’ turned on) to confirm that it worked this way..
Thx

Sorry, I said that it was automatic in XDCAM Browser and I was wrong.
The option is ‘Specify Folder When “Copy All”‘ in the EDIT tab of the Preferences/Options and it should be disabled. When enabled, the user can select a folder when initiating the Copy All so no time/date-stamped Parent folder is created. When disabled Browser will create a stamped folder in the Copy All location stored in the Preferences/Options.
-
it’s actually automatic in both applications– a COPY ALL creates a parent folder named after the date/time (e.g. “20120806152754”); a manual drag and drop only creates a BPAV in the selected location..

XDCAM Browser shows no clips at all? What if you do a manual clip import on one of the files? It doesn’t sound like it’s data- or card-related as it’s very unlikely that something like this would manifest as a video resolution issue. A card problem could affect Browser’s ability to show the correct directories so try the manual import or File–>Open Media File. Also make sure you are using v 2.1.
It sounds like a codec issue in PPro. It may be using the codec for overcranked XDCAM optical, which has a resolution of 1920 x 540, or there may be another problem with the installed codecs.Is this an XDCAM EX Sequence at the right resolution? What does the clip look like in the Source monitor?
