Hello,

I've got the Cinema Camera 6K FF and it has a USB-port. So if I have my CF-card inserted in the camera, can I use the USB-port to transfer my files to my PC?
When I connect the camera to the PC, it is shown in the explorer-windows, but no files are listed.
In the network page of the camera-settings, the camera may have a IP-number. So I guess, that you can use a USB-to-ethernet-adapter, and then connect the camera to the ethernet-port of the PC and connect both this way. But how would I have to configure the PC and the camera to get this workflow?
Can anybody give a description, how to get this working?

Thanks a lot!

Usbc to usbc is still a network connection. It’s likely you need to go to the network settings and configure the device. The same with usbc/network adapters. Use the camera setup utility and make sure ftp/smb connections etc., are allowed, this will also give you the camera’s ip/ftp/smb address.

Good Luck

No report of successfully attaching a BMD camera to a PC for file transfer has ever surfaced here, at least not to my knowledge, in 8 or 9 years.

The obvious solution -- a card reader -- isn't workable?

I believe the feature was first added last year in 8.2. Different cams may require different FW versions, it’s probably avalable for most cams save the UMPG2. It’s a key element in C2C workflows.

Good Luck

This works for the URSA Cine camera.

I believe the plan was for it to work the same for the cinema camera but I’ve not tested it.

Tested the Ursa Cine have you (apologies to Yoda), proxy or Braw?

Good Luck

Edit: C2C that is.

Yes.

BRAW and Proxy both.

Ethernet cable and wifi too.

I believe a USB-C hotspot dongle works too but I haven’t tried that yet.
