Setting Preferences

Before working with SxS media, take a few moments to review XDCAM Transfer's

Preference Settings. Open the Preferences window by selecting Preferences from the

XDCAM Transfer drop menu, or by pressing + , (comma).

1– Select the General button.

• Check Automatically add media to have XDCAM Transfer automatically scan

XDCAM EX memory cards and add them to the source list. (Recommended)

• Check Show offline media to view thumbnails and metadata of cards that are

offline. (If cards are immediately recycled, it is recommended that this item not

be checked.)

• Select a magnification value for the thumbnails.

• For XDCAM EX, ensure that Audio Channels 1/2 are checked. Settings for the other

channels do not apply.

• In most cases, Import clips with no installed codec should be left unchecked.
