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.
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.

You may need a Sony XDCAM MXF Converter for Mac for various reasons. We have listed some of them out in the following paragraphs.
Reason #1: The XAVC/XDCAM Plug-in for Apple (PDZK-LT2) plug-in doesn’t work for FCP X
To be able to import Sony XDCAM, XDCAM HD, and XDCAM EX media into Final Cut Pro X, you’ll need to download and install the XAVC/XDCAM Plug-in for Apple (PDZK-LT2) provided by Sony.

Reason #2: AMA plug-in doesn’t work for viewing and editing XDCAM footage in Avid
The XAVC/XDCAM Plug-in for Avid (PDZK-MA2) plug-in supports for XAVC and XDCAM / XDCAM EX files in Avid Media Composer, Symphony and NewsCutter products, if this plug-in can not run on your Mac, we do recommend using third party XDCAM MXF Converter for Mac to process file conversion.

Reason #3: iMovie and FCE don’t have native support for Sony XDCAM
If you find iMovie and the discontinued Final Cut Express do not have native support for XDCAM files, you’re suggested to transcode XDCAM MXF files to AIC .mov, iMovie and FCE’s favorite editing codec, which they can recognize and handle well. This requires a XDCAM MXF to MOV Converter.

Reason #4: The editing performance is unstable and unreliable
Your editing program allows for easy and direct importing of XDCAM videos from your camcorder, but it is very unreliable and unstable, so you needed something else to convert them first to a format that is full compatible with your editing application. In that case, you will need a third party XDCAM file converter.

Reason #5: You don’t have the entire folder structure of the XDCAM footage
If you only have some loose .mxf video clips copied from a XDCAM camera, without preserving the complete folder structure, you will run into incompatibility issues while importing them to your Mac NLEs. If that’s the case, a Mac Sony XDCAM MXF Converter will be a lifesaver for you.
