computer in advance, using the supplied 
XDCAM EX Clip Browsing Software.
Some editing software may not operate properly. 
Be sure to confirm before use that it conforms to 
the recording formats used with this camcorder.

To use Final Cut Pro of Apple Inc.

It is necessary to convert the clips to files that can 
be edited with the Final Cut Pro, using XDCAM 
Transfer.

For information on XDCAM Transfer, visit the web
