FREE SONY CONTENT BROWSER 2.0 FOR A LIMITED TIME!

With the release of Content Browser 2.0 and the F5/F55 cameras, Sony is changing its software distribution policy. This has caused a bit of confusion, which I hope to address here. We’ve also tweaked this new distribution model to make the process a bit easier for our users. Browser 2.0 includes XAVC and AVCHD support and requires a serial number to install. The serial number is included free of charge with all F5 and F55 cameras and will also be included with future shipments of other PMW/PDW products. This will cover the majority of users. Of course there are still users who will need the application and don’t own an F5, F55, or else they have an XDCAM that they purchased before the new distribution model went into effect.

For those users we have the following options: 1. Content Browser 1.1 will remain available on the Sony sites until June.

It requires no serial # to install the base application. Kumkum bhagya serial title song download. The add-ons (XDCAM Advanced Feature Pack; AVCHD plug-in; Main Concept Encoder) remain charge-able but the basic features the vast majority of users need (preview, log, archive etc) are part of the main application and will remain free. The major substantive difference between Content Browser 2.0 and 1.1 is that 2.0 supports the new XAVC codec used on the F5/F55. For XDCAM users, no functionality is lost by going with v 1.1. The other difference between versions 1.1/2.0 is in how the AVCHD plugin is handled.

In v 1.1, it is a 20.00 add-on. In v 2.0, the serial number activates both XAVC support and AVCHD support. From March until June we will make Content Browser 2.0 available without an in-the-box serial number and free of charge. If you go to you can put in your email address and have a serial # sent to you. This is not a trial version of the application. It’s the full, non-expiring version with XAVC and AVCHD support. The only difference is that we are providing the serial numbers via a free download.

After June, both 1.1 and the serial # promotion page will be taken down and we will only be offering Content Browser 2.0. By June there will be a mechanism in place to purchase a serial number for 20.00 if, for whatever reason, the user requires one and does not have a current camera, didn't know about the grace period/promotion, or can;t use the legacy applications. XDCAM Transfer and the Log and Transfer plugin for EX will remain available in the ‘Legacy Applications’ area of the XDCAM download site. Note that, as with PDZ-1, XDCAM Viewer and XDCAM EX Clip Browser these are discontinued, use-at-your-own-risk applications.

There will be no further development on any of them as most of their features are being consolidated into Content Browser. Transfer 2.13, which we will hate to see go, is qualified through Lion.

PDZ-1 and the XDCAM MXF Viewer are qualified through Win 7 (32/64 bit). We will happily provide operational and basic technical support on these applications but please understand that there is little we can do is they won’t install or otherwise have system-level issues. Thanks for the continued support.

I know this is a significant change in our policy but I and my colleagues have fought very hard to make it as painless as possible for our existing users. Hope to see some of you at NAB 2013. If you're anywhere near the F5/55 workflow area, drop by and say hello. Cheers, Ian ___________________ Ian cook Sony Broadcast and Professional Services. I understand that it is important, which is why we at least have a grace period. Renters and quick-hit users are the first ones I thought of when Japan told us about the new policy. The 3 month grace period was something I suggested when it became clear that the serial # requirement was inflexible.

I also suggested a simple player module, or basic play/copy functionality in the base app with no serial #. These are probably not going to happen. After June we'll do our best to support everyone by whatever means necessary but some users are going to end up having to download a serial #. Can I have two (or more) simultaneously activated computers -Sorting this out now. If a client wants the camera masters (and they aren't always post houses) would their only option be to purchase Content Browser? Until June we will have the free serial # download active on the site.
