The SxS PRO Memory Card
The SxS PRO memory card adopted by the XDCAM EX series for
recording is an ultra-compact nonlinear medium that uses fl ash
memory, and is based on the SxS™ memory card specifi cation.
The SxS PRO memory card achieves an extremely high data
transfer speed of 800 Mb/s*, allowing users to quickly transfer
recorded footage to a compatible PC or nonlinear editing
system.
The SxS PRO memory card also achieves long record times.
Combining the moderate bit rates produced by the effi cient
MPEG-2 Long GOP compression to large-capacity SxS PRO
memory card, the XDCAM EX products record high-quality HD
images for a long recording time of 70 minutes on a single 16-GB
SxS PRO memory card. Equipped with two SxS PRO memory
card slots, the XDCAM EX products achieve up to 140 minutes of
recording using two 16-GB memory cards in the SP mode and a
minimum of up to 100 minutes in the HQ mode.
When a clip spans across two cards, the transition is seamless
without any artifacts or frame loss. The SxS PRO memory cards
can be hot-swapped while shooting without interrupting the
recording. This feature makes the XDCAM EX products ideal for
a wide variety of long form content-production applications.
