Tip:
The XDCAM deck is not available for external monitor or print to tape via iLink® while in file-access mode. Using FTP transfers
allows you to export to a remote device and or use the device’s i.LINK connection in AV/C mode for external monitor previewing.

Click OK.
Note:
For information about using your camera or deck, refer to its documentation.
Using the XDCAM Explorer window
From the View menu, choose XDCAM Explorer (or press Ctrl+Alt+F5) to display the XDCAM Explorer window, which you can use to
locate, import, and export XDCAM clips.
Item Name Description
Disc List Displays a list of all XDCAM discs from which you’ve imported clips. Select a disc name to display
its clips in the right side of the window.
The imported disc is not associated with the current project. Imported discs are available in the
XDCAM Explorer window until you delete them from your computer.
Right-click a disc and choose Rename from the shortcut menu to change a disc's name.
For example, if you’ve written “Joe’s Tire Spot” on your XDCAM disc, you can type that name so you
don't have to try to identify the disc in the XDCAM Explorer window using its 32-digit identifier.
Contents Pane Displays the clips from the selected disc.
Full-resolution clips are labeled Full, and proxy files are labeled Proxy.
If you’ve transferred proxy files only, you can right-click a proxy file and choose Import Full
Resolution Files from the shortcut menu to transfer the full-resolution version of the proxy clip to
your computer. Files are imported to the same folder where you transferred the proxy files.
If you’ve transferred metadata only without transferring clips, no thumbnail is displayed. Right-
click a metadata entry and choose Import Full Resolution Files or Import Proxy Files from the
shortcut menu.
If the disc contains edit lists that you created on your deck or camera, they are displayed at the
bottom of the contents pane. Click the down arrow next to the Views button ( ) and choose
Edit Lists from the menu to show or hide edit lists.
