Just went to XDCAM EX micro site to see what was new with the EX1r.
Sony | Micro Site XDCAM EX1r firmware.webloc

Clicked download button for EX1r firmware. I got this file -
EX1R_1.20_2171-SxS.f.BIN dated 5/10/11 Searching this site and Google I found no information.

From the Release Note -
Major functions updated with V1.2

Clip names
User-specified characters can be displayed (MP4/AVI).
Planning metadata
Shooting with planning metadata is possible.
• Planning metadata can be read from recording media inserted into a memory card slot.
• The planning metadata to be read can be selected.
• Clip names based on names defined in planning metadata can be specified.
• Clip names can be specified in languages other than English.
• More shot marks can be added.
• Shot mark names can be specified in languages other than English.
• Shooting information can be reflected in planning metadata.
• Information contained in planning metadata can be viewed.

Picture cache recording
When recording was performed in picture cache mode (picture
cache time: 13 to 15 seconds) with i.LINK output, the cache data
in memory was sometimes not recorded. That problem was
corrected.

Anyone tried this update yet?

Even though it indicates 1.15 on the screen when you click through to download the file it is 1.20.

It's only the EX1R firmware that appears to include the forward planning metadata options.

Olakunle Olanrewaju · July 19th, 2011, 03:05 PM

I just updated mine no issue. saw new metadata menu yet to test it though but i believe it will be very useful for me anyway, thats the main reason for update for me.it install as described in the manual except that i used series7 battery as power is not stable in my area.

Gildo Houtekamer · July 19th, 2011, 03:34 PM

Updated mine too, no issues.
Time took a little longer than indicated in the readme file.

Jeremy Cole · July 20th, 2011, 06:28 AM

I went and checked what update I have on the camera after the update which I thought was 1.15, and low and behold, it is 1.20!
