Calibrated{Q} MP4-EX Import is a QuickTime component that lets QuickTime Player 7, FCP 6/7, etc. understand the MP4
file wrapper; however for XDCAM EX MP4 files - the XDCAM EX QuickTime Codec needs to be installed to decompress
the video. For Windows computers, this means that Calibrated{Q} XD Decode for Windows is needed. For Mac OSX
computer either Final Cut Pro 6.0.6, Final Cut Pro 7 is needed OR Calibrated{Q} XD Decode is needed (do not install
Calibrated{Q} XD Decode on a Mac computer with any version of Final Cut Pro). Please see the System Requirements in
Chapter 2 for more details.
The Calibrated{Q} MP4-EX Import Options application sets Global Options for use with the Calibrated{Q} MP4 EX Import
