There isn’t always a alternative! We use Broadcast cameras from Sony. These cameras use SXS Cards as memory card. Sony doesn’t support with their device driver Apple Silicon. It’s impossible to ingest content to M1 Macs 🤨

Can you not just use a SXS card reader? 

The SXS Card Reader uses a Device Driver. These driver is not available for M1

Yes that’s great. But it is still not possible to import Video from Sony SXS Cards. SXS Cards are used in Sony and Arri Broadcast and Cinema cameras

We are waiting since one year to get a updated device driver for SXS Cards. 

Without this updated driver, the super fast M1 MacBook Pro is useless for our job. Ingesting Footage is impossible. 

So sad!

Did you ever consider questioning the logic behind creating a proprietary data storage format in an era where there are so many high speed data storage and transfer options?  Instead of just questioning why Apple doesn't support it?

Apple is not the problem. The problem is Sony. We have no choice. We have to use the standard broadcast cameras. These cameras using Sony’s proprietary storage.
