I am traveling next week on assignment. Production is bringing a 3 yers old Mac Pro for the footage transfer. Clip browser is installed, but I need to get expres port to recognize SxS card when inserted. I know I had a driver installed long time ago on various other macs but not recently.
Can somebody point me to the link for downloading this driver?

Thanks!
 
and don't you want XDCAM Browser, not clip browser? I remember having issues with clip browser and my F3.
 
For some reason I was thinking that Clip Browser isn't compatible with the newest firmware for the F3 and has been replaced by XDCAM Browser. maybe only under a certain OS too.

thats what I was told too. and as soon as I upgraded to the new firmware, I was getting black boxes with a red X in them instead of the clips. XDCAM browser fixed that.

weird that some have issues, and some don't.

Same experience. Best to download the installer (in my view) for Browser 2.0 so you have it on hand if things go sideways in the middle of production.
 
Well, the production installed the latest version of Sony Clip Browser yesterday. I took my test SxS card and did a trail transfer today. No issues. I am to sure what is the firmware on my F3, but no issues. The layout of the clip browser looks like PC version now (that was the only surprise, since my "home" version is a bit older and looks different...).
 
My experience is that clip browser is incompatible with new firmware - can't remember of that was F3 or Ex-1 firmware but it was definitely a problem and I've gone to XDCAM Browser.
 
There is a confirmed issue with "Clip Browser" and the newer firmware upgrade. You will get "X" where you would see clips. Sony is said they are going to be releasing a new browser and fix soon after NAB. To view your clips you can download "XDCAM Browser"
