Operating System Requirements: macOS 10.11-10.13 Description: SxS UDF Driver software enables reading of MXF files recorded in UDF mode on SxS memory card. [Note: This driver is not sufficient to support the computer communicating with the device. You must also install the SxS Device Driver.] Installation of these drivers enables the Sonnet SF3 Series SxS PRO X Card Reader, SF3 Series SxS Pro Card Reader, SxS PRO X Thunderbolt 3 Single Slot Reader, Echo ExpressCard Thunderbolt Adapter, Qio, and Qio E3 to support UDF files. Download and install the latest UDF driver, and then restart your computer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
macOS Mojave, Catalina & Big Sur: The Sony UDF driver is not needed on macOS 10.14.6+. UDF support is built into newer versions of macOS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have 1.0.1 UDF driver, first uninstall the existing Sony UDF driver manually by removing these files. In Terminal, type sudo rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/SxSLogicalUnitDriverExpress.kext
sudo rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/SxSLogicalUnitDriverUS10.kext
sudo rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/sxsudf_fs.kext
sudo rm -r System/Library/Filesystems/sxsudf.fs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can format SxS media as UDF in macOS using the Sony Memory Media Utility. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
