EX card management software

[The Thing on The Sticks]

I seem to recall having seen a software app from sony a couple of months ago that was supposed to allow somebody with multiple EX cards to see how many wright cycles etc were on their card library. The idea being that you could better manage turning them over as time goes by.

Now I had thought that I installed it at the time but can no longer find it to download does anybody here know the name or better yet where to find it on sonys site…. Is it possible that this has been rolled into content browser and I am just not looking in the right place?

I thought the camera would show the use cycle of the cards?

Paging Douglas!

Did I hear someone call me?

You ask, I deliver . . . the software is called Memory Media Utility. Catchy name, huh?

This is a good utility for anyone who rents/loan cards because it assures you that the cards you sent out are the cards you got back.

Thanks Doug thats exactly what I was after. Odd thing is they changed the down lode page and look for this in the last month or so so I thought it was something for their consumer memory sticks. Could have saved myself an hr or so of searching had I known.

Now I can get around to taking a good look at the lot of 32gb cards I just purchased.

Hi Doug - does this work w/F5 SxS Ex-FAT formatted cards?
none are showing up in it for me....via SBAC-US20

Hi Brian,

Sorry, I can't help troubleshoot whatever issue you're having. All I can say is that it works for me, but it's not really a program that I need or use so I'm not an expert or anything.

It works with all my SxS cards, no matter how they are formatted, and even the one XQD card I own.

yeah - no worries. I'm current on my drivers, so I just wondered if I was missing somewhere here...I was just curious about the application - not something I really need. The cameras all have the life-cycle gas gauge in them anyway...

hmm it seems to be working but now I am getting a update firmware message for my us10 reader. But when I tell the card reader to update the firmware it gets to 20% and crashes. I guess sometimes you just can't win.

Though the card reader seems to be pro forming normally and If I am not mistaken the lot of cards I bought with it seem to be new.

Apparently but nothing Im going to touch. I plan to upgrade to the usb 3 reader anyways. And only bought this one because it came with a lot of 5 32gb cards. I will probably keep it as a backup after that.

I have 2 of the US20 readers.. very good.. BUS powered.. very fast.. no SxS driver software needed.. works like it says on the can..
