Sony PXW-Z190V / PXW-Z190T FTP setup

FTP · FTPESAccessory-assisted camera client2018

PXW-Z190V / PXW-Z190T can initiate FTP, FTPES transfer of high-resolution original clips, proxy clips over Wi-Fi infrastructure/hotspot; wired Ethernet; USB cellular modem. The documented route accepts a user-configured server; it is suitable for a destination-neutral ingest gateway after protocol, firmware, and payload testing.

Menu path: Attach and configure the network adapter > Open the adapter web UI or Content Browser Mobile > Upload Server / FTP Server Settings > Select media → Transfer > Auto Upload, when supported. Protocols: FTP · FTPES. Sends: high-resolution original clips · proxy clips.

Before you touch the menu

What to gather

01Use the documented network path: Wi-Fi infrastructure/hotspot; wired Ethernet; USB cellular modem.
02Install or attach the required components: CBKZ-SLNW1 network upgrade license for high-resolution/proxy FTP workflow; supported USB cellular modem for mobile broadband.
03Prepare a reachable FTP, FTPES endpoint with a writable destination and a camera-specific credential.
04Firmware/license qualification: CBKZ-SLNW1 is required for the documented network file-transfer functions.

Connection fields

Server Name

An operator-facing destination label.

Distinguishes the production ingest endpoint from vendor-cloud presets or prior assignments.

Server Address / URL

The DNS host or IP value specified by the FTP endpoint.

Directs the camera or adapter to the destination-neutral server.

Protocol / secure connection

A mode explicitly supported by this path: FTP, FTPES.

Must match the listener and its certificate/security configuration.

Port

The port issued with the ingest credential.

Avoids relying on defaults when the gateway uses a dedicated listener.

User Name / Password

A least-privilege credential unique to the camera or event.

Permits isolation, audit, and fast revocation.

Destination Directory

The assigned remote folder, without adding an unverified web URL prefix.

Routes clips into the correct job inbox.

Active / Passive

Match the server; passive is normally required through venue NAT.

Controls how the FTP data channel is opened.

Root Certificate

The trusted CA root required by the FTPS/FTPES server, in the format specified by Sony.

Allows TLS server validation instead of bypassing certificate errors.

The menu, step by step

Attach and configure the network adapter

Power the documented Sony adapter and establish its Wi-Fi, wired, or mobile-data route before opening transfer controls.

What moves, and what does not

Transfer modes

Manual path: manual and auto upload subject to license/firmware.
Automatic upload is available on this documented path.
Where chunked proxy upload is offered, treat it as a distinct mode from post-recording original-file upload.

Media behavior

Documented payload classes: high-resolution original clips, proxy clips.
Proxy, original/high-resolution, partial, and chunked transfers are separate choices where present; verify the selected type before the event.
Use the camera or adapter job/status list as the first completion signal, then verify the object at the destination.

Limits and warnings

Required path/hardware: CBKZ-SLNW1 network upgrade license for high-resolution/proxy FTP workflow; supported USB cellular modem for mobile broadband.
A product may also advertise a vendor-cloud workflow; this guide uses only the documented arbitrary-server path and does not treat vendor-cloud-only upload as interchangeable.
CBKZ-SLNW1 is required for the documented network file-transfer functions

Prove it on your body

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

CBKZ-SLNW1 is required for the documented network file-transfer functions Physical Camera to Anywhere interoperability is not yet lab-verified.

01Register one test server and make it the explicit destination.
02Upload a short proxy or small clip and confirm the transfer job reaches Completed.
03Open the received file and compare its size/duration with the source clip.
04Record which camera/adapter firmware, accessory, protocol, and port passed the test.
05If auto or chunk upload is enabled, record a short new clip and verify the expected original/proxy behavior.

If it will not send

01The File Transfer menu is missing or disabled.

Verify required firmware, option license, adapter attachment, recording state, and that the selected network mode permits file transfer.

02The server cannot be registered.

Confirm host syntax, protocol and port, DNS, passive/active mode, credentials, and the writable destination path.

03Secure FTP reports a certificate error.

Verify date/time, root CA import, server hostname, certificate chain, TLS compatibility, and revocation settings documented for the model.

04Proxy arrives but the original does not.

Check payload selection, auto-upload mode, recording codec/licence restrictions, media availability, and whether original transfer starts only after recording stops.

05A queued job repeatedly resumes or fails.

Check link stability, free storage, server timeout/size limits, adapter power, and camera job-list error text before retrying.
