The menu, step by step

What moves, and what does not

Transfer modes

  • This clip
  • Selected clips
  • All clips
  • Browser all/OK/selected upload
  • Background transfer

Media behavior

  • Uploads completed SD-card clips.
  • Progress and stop controls are available.
  • Secure protocols request fingerprint confirmation.
  • A same-name destination file triggers overwrite confirmation unless the connection uses an HTTP FTP proxy.
  • Camera mode can be restored while upload continues.

Limits and warnings

  • A supported HOST USB adapter is required.
  • An HTTP FTP proxy restricts the connection to FTP and suppresses overwrite confirmation.
  • Browser operations are disabled while a browser-initiated upload is running.
  • Do not overwrite a same-name destination file until its identity is verified.

Prove it on your body

Run this checklist on the exact body, firmware, network, and media format you will use on assignment.

FTP resume was added in firmware 2.04; use the newest compatible firmware. Resume remains unavailable when SFTP is selected; use JVC's current supported-adapter list. Physical Camera to Anywhere interoperability is not yet lab-verified.

  1. 01Firmware is current.
  2. 02Adapter and network IP are valid.
  3. 03Profile and fingerprint are verified.
  4. 04One clip uploads with matching bytes.
  5. 05A browser-selected clip reaches the same destination.
  6. 06A same-name test prompts before overwrite when no HTTP FTP proxy is configured.

If it will not send

01Cannot connect

Verify adapter, IP/DNS/gateway, host, port, and venue firewall.

02Invalid login/path

Correct profile credentials and Dir. Path.

03Fingerprint differs

Stop and verify the endpoint rather than accepting an unexpected key/certificate.

04Transfer repeatedly times out

Use a more stable network path and retry the same completed clip.
