Just been informed that a new version of the Mac Transfer Tool, version 2.9 will be available to download in the next few hours from
Sony : XDCAM EX : United Kingdom

thanks alister,

will check it out later for the upgrade.

Has your source told you what has changed?

Still not posted. Version still shows 2.8

I poked around a few of the Sony sites. Nothing yet.

The 2.9 version is available now for download (at least from the US site)...

The release notes link related to download does not list changes in this version

XDCAM Transfer 2.9 Is on Sony Canada's site SONY XDCAM EX

without the hassle of having to register before downloading
and has a description of the changes.

Thank you for the link. Sony's web site is usually frustrating.

The new version supports write back to the U1 drive from FCP. But you also need the new firmware update for the drive which is also available. Finally.. write back to the Mac with the U1.

Hi there,

I shot yesterday with my EX-1, and am editing this time in FCP.
I know I need the XDCAM Transfer software to import, but I'm a little confused.
The link to the download site (for the most recent version, 2.9), provided on Sony's XDCAM software page, doesn't work ("The page cannot be displayed", etc.).

Does anyone know how I can get it?
thanks, Malcolm

The current version is 2.11

thanks Ned... I don't know how I got mixed up; too many numbers, perhaps.
One more quick question: Once I get this Transfer Tool, can I keep it in any folder I want in my Applications folder (I'd like to keep it in a folder named 'Sony EX-1' if I can)?
Cheers, Malcolm

I would keep it in Applications since that's where installer puts it. I don't like to mess around much with installer-selected locations.

Ned

Will do.
Cheers, Malcolm
