Sony MEAD-SD01 SDHC Card Adapter for XDCAM EX
Expanding media choice for XDCAM EX family
The MEAD-SD01 Media Adapter allows the use of SDHC memory card media in XDCAM EX equipment such as the PMW-EX1/EX1R, PMW-EX3, PMW-350 and PMW-EX30. The MEAD-SD01 is the same shape as SxS memory cards so as to fit within the media slots on XDCAM EX camcorders with no protrusions, allowing the media cover to be in place during shooting. The adaptor can accept one high speed SD Card which simply slots inside. Please note, the MEAD-SD01 Media Adapter is recommended for emergency use only.
Designed for XDCAM EX
The MEAD-SD01 has been specifically developed by Sony to operate with XDCAM EX hardware and, as long as users follow the usage guidelines with recommended Class 10 SDHC products, they can be confident of the correct operation of their XDCAM EX hardware.
ExpressCard form factor
The MEAD-SD01 Adaptor has the shape of ExpressCard/34 so it can be slotted into the ExpressCard slot of XDCAM EX equipment and other ExpressCard compatible hardware, such as a Windows PC or Mac.
Please note the interface standard between the PC and MEAD-SD01 is not PCI Express but USB2.0 - however both PCI Express and USB2.0 are supported as the ExpressCard interface.
PC Compatible
SD Card media recorded with MEAD-SD01 by XDCAM EX hardware works on a PC without any need for drivers. Folders and files of XDCAM EX are shown in the NLE operation window or in Clip Browser in the same way as with SxS media.
