Hi Ian

Iam using the Sony SBAC US10 card reader.. a mac book pro..to a ext HDD Lacie rugged.. with shot put pro set to data verify fast option..

Camera is PMW500 UDF 1080/25p.. really slow..actually longer than real time.. ? am I doing something wrong here?? down loads all work and no problems.. but incredibly slow.. this might be a reason I wouldnt buy the camera if these down load speeds are longer than shooting.. card reader is a rental and not new.. could that have any bearing..

Thanks

Hi Ian

Thanks again

Thanks Ian..

I have only XDCAM brower 2.. with this only I cant rename the cards.. or delete a clip directly from the card.. although that isnt a big deal..

Iam using the PMW500.. with 64GB pro cards.. have to say with Mac book pro,the single card reader and lacie rugged drives (firewire 800) and shotput pro.. the down load is taking for ever.. UDF 50 Mbps 1080/25p.. slower than real time..!! any idea,s

Thanks again

Thanks.. yes that seems to be the case.. not a problem really..

No reformatting doesnt make any difference.. the card name cant be changed..?

Many thanks again for your time.Iam planning to entre data via the title,and number functions in the clip menu.. Shooting UDF .. as 50 mbps ..I believe UDF is the only option in this camera..

Thanks again.. think I get it now..

Hi Ian

Thanks again for your time.

I wouldnt be putting in metadata.. so would set to title rather than plan in the clip settings ?

If nothing is set in the clip menu.. does the camera just give random numbers to each clip.. or continue on from what ever the had been set on a previous shoot..

I have a test clip from a EX3 that has 502_002_01… the next clip being 502_003_01.. can you shed some light on this set up.. obviuosly the 000 in the middle is the clip number ? what of the others..

Thanks again

Does the clip menu have to be set?

In the manual the other settings is

C****: XDCAM standard name (In UDF mode only)

can you explain that please..

Thanks

Thanks Ian

A bit confused.. so I go into this setting.. and set a name.. and then a number.. in the camera.. whats the dif with this and inputting metadata with a USB stick or SXS card..

If I just put a card in and reformat,..and start shooting.. what name/number will the camera give to each clip.. If I number the card.. will that be kept after a camera reformat..

I thought it was the best poicy to reformat in the camera after each card down load.. rather than just delete all files.. have searched but no definitive answer .. I use a nanoflash and their advise is to reformat in the unit each time..

Thanks again for your time
