Need to update Sony AMA Plug-in for Media Composer 8.6.3

The joy of tracking software across multiple manufacturers websites to keep your editing station going. Today: Avid Media Composer 8.6.3.


Dang!

This is what I have:

Sony EX3, EX1 XDCAM Post

Sony software for working with XDCAM footage:
https://www.servicesplus.sel.sony.com/sony-software.aspx

You need to create a pro account in order to download some of it.  There are plug-ins for Avid and FCP7 (via Log&Transfer), a clip browser and a SXS card driver.
Someone had listed the steps on his own blog/website (links do not work anymore though, so go direct to Sony Service Plus link above.)
