Importing XDCAM HD Media Over a Network
To import XDCAM files over an Ethernet network, do the following:
1– Insert an XDCAM disc in the drive.
2– Select File > Import > Sony XDCAM (Ethernet). The Connection Window will appear.
3– Enter the XDCAM device IP address.
4– Enter “admin” for the Username.
5– Enter the Password (usually the device model name – in lower case and include the
hyphen. For example, in the case of the PDW-F75, the password is pdw-f75).
6– Click Connect. When a connection has been established, the Flip4Mac Main
Window will open and the Clip List pane will populate.
Note: The connection will fail if there is no disc in the drive.
7– Click on an item in the Clip List to display its proxy in the Proxy Viewer.
8– Place a checkmark (by clicking on the box to the left of the filename) next to each
clip to be imported. Alternatively, click on the Check All button to enable all clips.
9– Click the Import button to begin the import process.
Important: Although Flip4Mac permits importing of Proxy media, the FCP Timeline will
not work properly with it.
