Of course the final shipping version will be black anodized finish.

The Nano will tilt slightly forward and be off to the right side of the EX1. The Nano can easily be removed when not used and the bracket can also easily be removed

It attaches to the standard wing and you can still keep the 2 standard shoes for wireless mics etc.

I am trying to expand this system using current parts. And I think this works really well.

When I make the shoulder brace or the matte box rail adapter for this system that requires additional milling to the wing or plate, I will offer free updated baseplates or wings if you have purchased the earlier model.

If you have any thoughts please comment here or contact me:

Any thoughts on why EX1R is the way to go over the HPX-300? Or maybe you don't think so...

Thanks

I have a new MacBook Pro 17 inch that will be heading my way in a few days. This is certainly a step up from my current 17in MBP that is 3 years old. I was wondering if any of you have this newer machine and how you interface it with the EX1 camera, if you can and also how you off load your cards into the computer.
I appreciate your input.

The procedure was free and regarded as part of the warranty. However I could get no idea of what changes to expect. I was relieved to find that my MXM and MXR adapters still work.

Today I used the S&Q motion for the first time since the upgrade and was pleased to find that all I have to do now is to hold the button in for a couple of seconds then adjust the frame rate setting after the blue LED lights up. If I was using 1080 25 P I could overcrank to 30 fps, changing format to 720 25P allowed me to crank up to 60 fps.

The S&Q entry in the menu is now greyed out. ]]> Sony XDCAM EX CineAlta Alastair Traill http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/sony-xdcam-ex-cinealta/468061-s-q-motion-ex3-firmware-update-v1-05_0094-a.html XDCAM Transfer 2.11 for Snow Leopard Now Available. http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/sony-xdcam-ex-cinealta/468016-xdcam-transfer-2-11-snow-leopard-now-available.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:47:47 GMT This message from Sony reach me tonight : New version of XDCAM Transfer 2.11 is now posted to our support site this version supports new features of new XDCAM EX products and as well for XDCAM EX ONLY it will work under Apple Snow Leopard - Unfortunately the FAM driver for XDCAM optical HD and... This message from Sony reach me tonight :

New version of XDCAM Transfer 2.11 is now posted to our support site this version supports new features of new XDCAM EX products and as well for XDCAM EX ONLY it will work under Apple Snow Leopard - Unfortunately the FAM driver for XDCAM optical HD and 422 products will not work under Snow leopard at this time and requires more development work - It will likely be until March for it, along with full support for our software on Windows 7. There will also be very soon a new version of the LOG&Transfer Plugin for FCP under Snow Leopard.

I'm not on Snow Leopard- I'm still on 10.4.11, and the driver should have worked, but instead caused kernel panics on every attempt to download footage. After figuring out how to uninstall the driver and reverting to the 1.0 driver, things started working again.

After that (and it may be totally unrelated), I started having other problems. Using Clip Browser 2.5, I started getting intermittent CRC errors. It's never on the same clip- sometimes I can only copy a couple clips before the error, sometimes half the clips, sometimes the whole card- different results resulting from multiple attempts with the same card, usually after quitting apps and restarting. After several attempts and getting a successful offload, I convert with XDCAM Transfer 2.10. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes I get errors noting an incorrect directory. Again, it's never repeated on the same clip- it's a different clip on each attempt, and sometimes it works completely. Once I successfully convert the files, they all seem to test out fine in FCP. Today, I upgraded to Clip Browser 2.6 (uninstalled 2.5 first), and the problems are unchanged.

I started using XDCAM transfer straight from the cards, and there haven't been any errors at all. That seems to imply that the camera is fine, and potentially implies that my computer system is fine, and that the problem is with Clip Browser. Considering I've already uninstalled 2.5 and installed 2.6 with no luck, maybe that's not actually the case. I haven't located any preference files or other associated files that could be corrupt- can anyone point me to anything I should trash, or any other steps I can take? One theory I have is that the bad driver corrupted something in Clip Browser, and that corrupt file is still screwing things up.

For example, to miniDV camcorder, a F5 Firestore, or to a laptop using Adobe OnLocation. How does the XDCAM format effect firewire streaming? Will it stream in HQ or only in SQ ? Is it possible to stream out the firewire a different format than the one being recorded to the sxs card?

I install it, select my folder for corrected clips to go to in Preferences, load a folder in CB of video of a photoshoot I shot, found a clip with a few nasty "flash bands", select "Detect and Correct Flash Bands" from the menu, watch as some processing happens and then ...NOTHING.

It says "Clips Detected: 1, Clips Corrected: 0" and alas, nothing happened. No new, corrected clip of my photoshoot video free from ugly flash bands. Nothing. I am sad.

Anyone get this new feature to work?
