2018-02-01
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.

Final Cut Pro X Users: See this Apple Support Note.

600 Qio Firmware Updater (OS X) 2.0.1
Download Now
Jun-13-2013
Operating System Requirements: Mac OS X 10.6+
Description: This OS X software updates the firmware in the Sonnet Qio. This version updates expands the PC compatibility of Qio (revision H and later, as identified in the serial number). After the firmware is updated, the Qio will continue to operate as before with Mac computers.

Notes:
1) If you are updating an older Qio (part numbers QIO-E34 and QIO-PCIE, revision A - G), you must also use the Mac OS serial ROM flasher to make the Qio Windows-compatible.
2) You may need to run this updater twice. If the firmware updater is unsuccessful after the second attempt, please contact Sonnet support for further assistance.
