| P>Developed to meet the demands for an affordable SxS media solution, Sony has
created the SxS-1 memory card, which offers faster transfer speeds but a shorter
life span than the original SxS PRO card. The SxS-1 card uses multi-level cell (MLC)
solid state technology, which is less expensive to manufacturer. MLC solid state
memory also has a faster read/write speed but offers a reduced number of
read/write cycles To keep track of the SxS-1 remaining usage, Sony has equipped
the latest PMW-EX1R and PMW-350 camcorders with a “media life indicator” which
is shown on the camcorder display.
The SxS-1 (SBS-32G1) is fully compliant with the ExpressCard™ industry
standard and features high capacity and super fast data transfer speed.
Videographers can store up to 32GB of footage – enough for up to 100 minutes of
full HD 1920 x 1080 video at 35 Mbps or 140 minutes of 1440 x 1080 video at 25
Mbps.* Large data files such as high definition video can be transferred at up
to 800 Mbps* - for efficient non-linear video editing. It’s also extremely
compact and reliable to ensure faultless on-location performance in the harshest
of environments. (*The speed is measured on XDCAM EX camcorder)
With its affordable price point, SxS-1 opens up exciting new opportunities in
mainstream filming and demonstrates the commitment of Sony to support XDCAM EX
with practical media solutions. Perfect for videographers looking to capture and
edit in high definition at an affordable price.
The SxS-1 is fully compatible with the PMW-EX1R (launched December 2009) and
PMW-350 camcorders. In the case of PMW-EX1/EX3/10MD, an end user firmware
upgrade, scheduled for release in the Spring of 2010, will be required and can
be downloaded from the Sony Pro Media website when available. Users that own an
PMW-EX30 must send their deck to a Sony Service center to complete the required
firmware updates |
