Rapid data transfer of large video files for cost
savings
It’s easier than ever to transfer high definition video
footage with SxS PRO. Simply connect to a PC through a
high-speed PCI-Express™ bus and with optimized settings
for controlling communication between hardware and
media, data can be transferred at up to an astonishing
800Mbps. This reduces the duration of non-linear video
editing and dramatically improves workflow efficiency.
When time and cost savings are essential, SxS PRO gives
you the performance you need to maximise productivity.
Optimized Workflow efficiency
Compact for true mobility
Based on the ExpressCard™/34 module, SxS PRO
is half the size of standard PC cards at just 34mm
in width, 5mm in height and 75mm in length. This
has encouraged the design of smaller and lighter
professional camcorders without compromising higher
storage capacities of up to 32GB – enough for almost
an hour of HD digital video. As well as being small,
the ExpressCard™/34 module can be read on an
ExpressCard™/54 module.
