John, All you should need are the drivers for the U1 drive (download
from Sony to get the latest) and the AMA plug is for Media Composter.
The U1 Utility is what you would use for things like updating the
firmware one the U1 drive. --J.B.

Is the XDCAM transfer like the Sony Content browser with EX stuff? Sorry for all the questions I'm under the gun again today in virgin territory at this production company with no engineering support. Like the challenge but could do without the time crunch.

Then I will transcode to offline media for grouping etc and the offline cut. My understanding is that there is no need to add a tape name. Will this then later translate back to the original XDCam disks for online? I would hope so or what's the point.
