Sony Intros 64GB SxS Pro Memory Card

Sony is expanding its SxS Pro memory card line with a new generation memory card offering a write transfer speed twice that of previous models. The new SxS Pro 64GB card, model SBP-64A, can read and write data at up to an astonishing 1.2Gbps through an ExpressCard slot, without the need for an adapter.

As image capture capabilities continue to improve with advances in camera technology and high-definition video recording, the SxS Pro memory card allows professional users to keep pace by acquiring video at ultra fast transfer speeds to on-board media. Additionally, the card’s 64GB capacity enables them to capture 120 minutes of HD422 50Mbps recording in the MXF mode, adding efficiency to their workflow. A fully recorded 64GB card can be ingested directly to a laptop in eight minutes.

The SBP-64A also features “Intelligent Technology by SxS,” which includes a “power failure management” function. This allows the card to re-create the data management table in the event of a sudden power loss power or the accidental ejection of the card during recording, as well as through the use of data-error correction and data-defect minimizing functions. Like its SxS predecessors, the SBP-64A card offers a salvage function and slow-motion recording made possible through its co-engineering with XDCAM HD/XDCAM EX equipment.

The new SxS Pro 64GB will be available in October.
