Importing MXF files into an Avid Adrenaline?

Any Adrenaline user's working with the HVX yet? If so, can you help me solve my importing problems?

Does anyone know if the Avid Adrenaline needs a driver update in order to read MXF files? I'm trying to upload the raw MXF files originating from a HVX demo I did last week. My goal is to convince the producers of a show I work on to switch to the HVX for all production work.

If not, what procedure should I take to bring in MXF files for an Adrenaline? This is most confusing. We are working with an Adrenaline HD- probably about 4 months old.

I've tried the suggestions made from 2 helpful DVX users, but so far, no luck.
Here's my earlier post:

If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it!!

Thanks...
 
Hey XanderDP, sorry to hear that the steps failed to work. I think the only person who can help now is MichaelP. Did you also try the Avid forums or even calling Avid support? Let us know how it goes.
 
Which format are you shooting with? I have used 720p/24pN just fine with Adrenaline 2.2.1. I am working on a chart that shows all 21 formats that camera can shoot and the 9 that are supported with the current version. I will post to my site and set a link here once complete.

Thanks for your messages guys. No, I haven't tried any other forum just yet- I did look through Avid's website to see if there was any new driver or download that specifically talked about the HVX or MXF files. No such thing.

The format we shot as our test was done in 1080i/24p & 720/60p. We did not shoot the 60p correctly to get the overcranking/slow mo we were looking for. We also did not shoot any 24pN footage, we missed that one to. Our time was limited with the camera, but this test was to show the "powers that be" what HD on a little camera would look like, ways to simplify our workflow, and making sure the Avid could handle this new system. So far, test not going so well.

I will try the Avid forum's next- I'm sure someone there can figure out what we're doing wrong. It's hard for me to problem solve this thing because the editing facility is not lifting a finger to help, for some reason, I, the DP, has to come up with the answer in order for us to consider this camera for our show. I'm not even an Avid guy, so I'm strickly the middle man on this one...

Thanks for everyone's input!
