Codec issues between FCP anf Premiere Pro - HELP!!!

Hi FCP people.
Trying to transfer HDCAM greenscreen footage between two facilities. Original material digitised to 10-bit uncompressed SD and exported as QuickTime Uncompressed 10-bit mov files using what we think is the Integer (Little Endian) codec.
When our target facility receives the files they play as white, indicating a codec issue - ie the codec isn't installed on their system.
Question: Can the codec which has been used for the sequence exports be downloaded anywhere to run on a PC Premiere Pro system so they can import the sequences to begin compositing work?
OR is it a case of having to use another codec and re-exporting the entire lot?
URGENT, please could anyone point us in the right direction. Help greatly appreciated.

Hi John -
Thanks for that swift reply yesterday. I think the decision was taken to get the compositor to come to us rather than re-render all of the footage which would've taken a couple of days...
As far as the Blackmagic uncompressed codecs are concerned - you're able to install them on systems WITHOUT Blackmagic hardware and go PC->Mac Mac->PC without issue, it being a choice in the QuickTime export dialogues?

Hello... I get these threads couple years late but it's still relevant in my case.
I did quicktime seq HDV 1080i50 acquisition with a mac book pro (not uncompressed 10bit) and it used the integer (little indian) codec.
I want to use the footage in Premiere Pro on my PC. Is there a way to find the codec for Premiere Pro.
I do have a Blackmagic Intensity Pro card and following your advice I did install the soft on my mac book pro. So next time I'll do it that way, but as for now, I'd like to find a way out without having to convert the footages.
