Introduction

The CFast 2.0 Card Reader is an integral part of your file-based workflow. CFast 2.0 cards
recorded with the ARRI ALEXA XT can be loaded in the reader and the Digital Camera Negative
files can the copied. These files will be either ProRes (.mov) or DNxHD (.mxf) depending on the
recorded format.

Specification

Mac: MacPro or MacBook Pro with USB-3 connection running OS X Snow Leopard or higher.
Windows: PC or laptop with USB-3 connection running Windows 7 or higher.

Software

The CFast 2.0 Card Reader is plug-and-play, and does not require any additional software or
drivers to be installed.

Hardware

Connect the CFast Card 2.0 Reader to an available USB-3 port on your computer. The status light
on top will become green to indicate that the reader is connected and has power. Insert a CFast
2.0 card into the reader and the status light will turn amber when it has loaded.
Eject the CFast card first from your computer operating system, like you would with any external
USB storage device. When the ejection is complete press the card into the reader and release,
and the spring mechanism will push the card outwards so that it can be removed.
Only use the supplied USB 3.0 cable.
