I get a variation of this question regularly now and thought it would benefit colleagues to share this here:
QUESTION: I just got a Sony NX70U camcorder and my S4000Pro w ill not recognize it. What can I do?
ANSWER: First of all - anytime I receive a question about compatibility that deals with a specific device, I always check the manufacturers website to check out the specifications. I recommend this as well for any colleague who is considering the purchase of a new camcorder. For the record, here is the page I used for the feedback to this website member: Sony NX70U
First I checked to see the resolution/recording options for this camera and this was the result:
From this I recommend only shooting in one of the four 60i modes
The reason is that 24P and 60P do not match well with our current Casablanca capabilities.
Secondly I check to see the recording format and media type. I learned that this camera shoots AVCHD codec. And it has a USB port as well as recording to solid state media - both (either) SD Card and Memory Stick DUO (which is Sony's proprietatry version of flash media cards).
Running the Bogart V4 Operating System there are a number of cameras which can be recognized and files imported directly. But if you connect and your camera does not recognize your camera files - check to see if the camera has to be in a particular setting to allow this.
If that gets you nowhere, you may need to take the SD or Memory Stick Duo card out of your camera and use a Card Reader/card drive to import the video files onto your Casablanca editor.
Here is a card drive (card reader) that works well for a number of folks in our community with the Bogart OS Casablanca series:
