The nablet XAVC XDCAM plug-in allows you to link, play, and edit XAVC and MPEG-2 MXF clips recorded on the XDCAM Station (XDCAM Professional Media Station), SxS and XQD memory cards, Professional Discs, or stored on hard disks, inside supported Avid NLE products. The nablet XAVC XDCAM Plug-in also supports proxy editing workflows from certain Professional Disc devices. Furthermore this plug-in allows to export XAVC LongGOP and XAVC Intra MXF files in HD and 4K format.

There's also a bunch of commercial codecs (i.e. The ones from Calibrated Software) that would allow to view and decode several formats like XDCAM or AVC Intra (among others). Installation of such bundles typically consist in the execution of an Installer that would place the needed files inside your Windows System folder. The nablet XDCAM-EX Plug-in allows you to link, play and edit XDCAM EX content recorded on SxS memory cards or stored on hard disks, inside the supported Avid NLE products. The nablet XAVC XDCAM Plug-in is the successor of the former Sony PDZK-MA2 plug-in. Note that the nablet plug-in and the Sony plug-in cannot coexist on the same system. AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is a file-based format for the digital recording and playback of high-definition video.It is H.264 and Dolby AC-3 packaged into the MPEG transport stream, with a set of constraints designed around the camcorders. Developed jointly by Sony and Panasonic, the format was introduced in 2006 primarily for use in high definition consumer camcorders. Avid Media Access is a revolutionary plugin architecture that greatly accelerates your file-based video workflows. With it, you can simply connect a supported manufacturer's media card, disk, or device and begin viewing and cutting footage right away. Jan 19, 2017 Final Cut Pro X 10.1.4 and earlier support Sony XAVC, XDCAM, XDCAM HD, and XDCAM EX media. Note: If you want to import Sony XAVC S media, update to Final Cut Pro X 10.2. Before importing Sony XAVC and XDCAM media, verify that Pro Video Formats and the Sony XAVC/XDCAM Plug-in for Apple are installed on your system.

The nablet XDCAM-EX Plug-in allows you to link, play and edit XDCAM EX content recorded on SxS memory cards or stored on hard disks, inside the supported Avid NLE products.

The nablet XAVC XDCAM Plug-in is the successor of the former Sony PDZK-MA2 plug-in. Note that the nablet plug-in and the Sony plug-in cannot coexist on the same system. The installation of the nablet plug-in guarantees a seamless transition* in your XAVC XDCAM editing workflow after the Sony plug- in had been uninstalled.

*Note that clips in an editing project which have previously been linked by the Sony plug-in will show same plug-in name in the bins clip info although the nablet plug-in now handles them. This is because the Avid application stored the initial information persistently.

Note: The nablet plug-ins and the legacy Sony plug-ins cannot coexist on the same system. Having them both installed will result in unpredictable behaviors of the editing application.
