Sony Monitor & Control, Creators’ App Add Mac Support & 20-Cam Multi-View

Sony has overhauled two pillars of its Creators’ Cloud ecosystem. Monitor & Control (v2.4.0) now reaches Mac and scales multi-view to 20 cameras on Premium plans, while Creators’ App (v3.1.0) speeds camera-to-cloud handoff with direct Ci uploads, smarter transfers, and clip-level reviews. Together, the updates aim to replace piecemeal monitoring and file-shuttling with a unified, tiered workflow that fits solo shooters and production video villages alike. Beyond headline features, the interesting shift is operational. Sony Monitor & Control‘s (on Google Play Store here, and Apple App Store here) expanded monitoring, controls, and metadata tools sit closer to capture, while Creators’ App reduces hops between card, phone, and cloud. The result is fewer accessories to manage, clearer take tracking, and faster paths from lens to timeline. What Monitor & Control changes on set M&C now runs on Mac for single-camera monitoring at no cost, with multi-camera on Premium plans. Productions can build a single interface up to 20 cameras, which suits everything from two-camera interviews to larger livestreams. The app adds HDMI/UVC high-resolution monitoring on compatible Xperia devices and the Sony PDT-FP1, assignable clip flags for OK or NG marking, snapshots that embed shooting data, and refined framing tools including Cropping & Framing on smartphones, Focus Map picture-in-picture, horizontal flip, and full-screen live view during vertical monitoring. Supported bodies, as listed for this release, span BURANO, PXW-Z300, PXW-Z200, HXR-NX800, FX6, FX3, FX2, FX30, and Alpha models including α1 II, α1, α9 III, α7R V, α7S III, α7 IV, plus ZV-E1.
