SONY SXS ADAPTER

A wider choice of media for the XDCAM EX range

The innovative XDCAM EX range of professional products is specially designed to make the most of the speed, performance and reliability of SxS PRO and SxS-1 cards. Nevertheless, SxS cards are professional media that cannot be found in consumer outlets. That's why Sony has developed the MEAD-SD02 adapter (it replaces the MEAD-SD01), which enables the use of consumer SD Card™.

The MEAD-MSD02 adapter has the same shape as SxS cards, so it fits perfectly into the dedicated slots of XDCAM EX camcorders, with no protruding parts, to guarantee complete closure of the cover during shooting. The adapter accepts an SDHC or SDXC card in the slot provided.

Note: the slow-motion recording function is not recommended due to the bit rate restrictions of SD Card™ media. SD Card™ adapter and media are also slightly less reliable than SxS cards. Care should be taken when switching off an XDCAM EX camera during recording. XDCAM EX cameras may need a software update to use the MEAD-SD02 adapter. Please consult the technical specifications for further information.

 

Highlights

• Designed for the XDCAM EX range: The MEAD-SD02 has been specially designed by Sony to work with XDCAM EX equipment and SD Card™ Class 10 such as Sony's UX series SD cards (SF-16UX, SF-32UX), or SDXC UHS-1 cards.
• ExpressCard-like shape: the MEAD-SD02 adapter is shaped like an ExpressCard/34 to fit into the ExpressCard slot of XDCAM EX camcorders and other devices compatible with ExpressCard media, such as Windows or Mac computers.
• Computer compatibility: SD Card™ media used with the MEAD-SD02 on XDCAM EX hardware are compatible with all PCs, without the need for an additional driver. XDCAM EX folders and files are displayed in the NLE window or Clip Browser software in the same way as SxS cards.
• PXU-MS240 compatibility: the 240GB PXU-MS240 external hard drive designed for SxS cards is fully compatible with the MEAD-SD02 adapter. Simply slide this with the SD Card™ into the PXU-MS240 to record content on the hard drive.
