A serial number is required to install this application. (A 30 day free trial is available.) You can use the one provided in your camcorder/deck product package.

If you need additional serial numbers, please purchase a serial number here. Please note that a small fee is required to offset the codec license fees such as MPEG LA.

If you have a previous serial number from XDCAM Advanced Pack or NXCAM Activation Pack, that can also be used for the installation.
