Sony Electronics is introducing new transfer software for use with the Macintosh OS X Version 10.4 Tiger that provides native interoperability between Sony’s XDCAM HD Professional Disc system and Apple’s Final Cut Pro nonlinear editing software. The software will be available free of charge online from www.sony.com/xdcamhd and will be demonstrated by both companies during a 12-city tour.
