Can ‘ t import Sony PMW-EX3 footage with AMA Plug-in

Then I try to import footage from the Sony PMW-EX3 to Avid via AMA, and there is text over my clip now that says “wrong format” in big white letters. So I choose “import” as DNX and it says the file format is not supported for import? I started reading the forums and didn’t find any immediate (and reasonable) solutions. I installed the sony AMA plugin and it didnt work. It didnt fix my problem. I even quit and came back in and that plugin doesn’t seem to let me play those mp4 clips. I’m on a brand new iMac 10.9.4. ANYONE HAVE ANY SOLUTIONS????

In Sony AMA plug-ins page, we only find the plug-in for XDCAM/HDCAM media and metadata, but not the plug-in for XDCAM EX file.
