Designed for XDCAM EX
The MEAD-SD01 has been
specifically developed by
Sony to operate with XDCAM
EX hardware and, as long as
users follow the usage
guidelines with recommended
Class 10 SDHC products, they
can be confident of the
correct operation of their
XDCAM EX hardware.
ExpressCard form factor
The MEAD-SD01 Adaptor has
the shape of ExpressCard/34
so it can be slotted into
the ExpressCard slot of
XDCAM EX equipment and other
ExpressCard compatible
hardware, such as a Windows
PC or Mac.
Please note the interface
standard between the PC and
MEAD-SD01 is not PCI Express
but USB2.0 - however both
PCI Express and USB2.0 are
supported as the ExpressCard
interface.
PC Compatible
SD Card media recorded with
MEAD-SD01 by XDCAM EX
hardware works on a PC
without any need for
drivers. Folders and files
of XDCAM EX are shown in the
NLE operation window or in
Clip Browser in the same way
as with SxS media.
PXU-MS240 Compatible
The PXU-MS240 240GB HDD back
up unit for SxS media is
fully compatible with the
MEAD-SD01 adaptor once a
firware upgrade has been
applied - due March 2010 -
simply slot the adaptor with
SD Card into the PXU-MS240
unit to record content onto
the MS240's hard drive.
Additional information
The PMW-350, PMW-EX1R,
PMW-EX1 and PMW-EX3 can
receive updated firmware via
an Internet download, while
the PMW-EX30 and PMW-10MD
will need returning to a
Sony service centre as they
do not have a USB service
port for connecting with a
PC. SBAC-US10 SxS
Reader/Writer is not
compatible because the
SBAC-US10 only has PCI
Express interface and no USB
interface.
