Setting up an XDCAM Device

Use the following procedure if you need to set up an XDCAM deck or camera for transferring clips, replacing proxy files with full-resolution clips, or exporting video to an XDCAM device.

1. Click the Device button in the Export Video to XDCAM Disc or Import XDCAM Disc dialog. The XDCAM Device Settings dialog is displayed.

• To display the Export Video to XDCAM Disc dialog, click the Export Video to Sony XDCAM Disc button in the XDCAM Explorer window.

• To display the Import XDCAM Disc dialog, click the Import XDCAM Disc button in the XDCAM Explorer window.

2. Choose the XDCAM device where you want to import/export clips.

• Select the XDCAM Media Drive radio button if your XDCAM camera or deck is connected directly to your computer. In this mode, your camera or deck is accessible much like an external drive.

  Click the Browse button and choose the drive letter of the camera or deck.

  IMPORTANT Choose the drive letter of the camera or deckonly; do not navigate into the folders on the disc.

• Select the FTP (Ethernet) radio button if your camera or deck is connected to your network.

  Type the camera or deck's IP address in the IP Address box.

  In the Username box, type admin.

  In the Password box, type the device/model number of your camera or deck. For example, if you're exporting clips to a PDW-1500 deck, type PDW-1500.

  TIP The XDCAM deck is not available for external monitor or print to tape while in XDCAM Media Drive mode. Using FTP transfers allows you to export to a remote device and use the device's XDCAM Media Drive connection in AV/Cmode for external monitor previewing.

3. Click OK.

NOTE For information about using your camera or deck, please refer to its documentation.
