Has anyone tried connecting the 700 via Ethernet - either directly to a computer or to a network?

I keep getting a couple of errors when trying to connect (on a mac). Followed all the settings in the manual, but still no luck.

Also googled it quite extensively, but couldn't find anything.

Thanks!

I can't speak specifically for the 700, but with the SD XDCAM's we had to use PDZ-1 to access the camera via Ethernet.

Hey Simon

I've tried it out and had some good luck with it. You can watch my free video series on the camera.. in the File Access Mode section I cover connecting with Ethernet.

Hope you like it.

be sure to type "unnecessary" zeros, too

DONT type

192.168.2.1.

TYPE

192.168.002.001 instead (in the cam or the deck).
