“The performance demands for media and broadcast professionals
continue to rise and SanDisk is committed to delivering
leading-edge capture and storage technologies,” said Dinesh Bahal,
vice president, product marketing, SanDisk. “The new SanDisk
Extreme PRO CFast 2.0 card and SanDisk Extreme PRO SSD will help
produce the highest quality content possible, and significantly
improve workflow efficiency.”
Built to Support Pro Video Standards
As a follow-up to the world’s first CFast 2.0 card in 2013, the
upgraded SanDisk Extreme PRO CFast 2.0 card will power the next
generation of high-performance cameras and camcorders. The 128GB
card delivers shot speed of up to 440MB/s* and data transfer speeds
of up to 515MB/s* for extreme workflow efficiency. Additionally,
the SanDisk Extreme PRO CFast 2.0 card combines the speed, capacity
and performance needed to record cinema-quality 4K video
(4096x2160p)1 in storage capacities of up to 128GB**, making it the
right choice for demanding professionals.
Recognizing the industry-leading performance and reliability of
SanDisk’s CFast 2.0 products, leading motion picture equipment
manufacturer ARRI has named the SanDisk Extreme PRO CFast 2.0 card
as its card of choice for its ALEXA and AMIRA cameras.
“We are happy to work with SanDisk to move the CFast 2.0
standard forward, as it aligns with our commitment to offer the
most efficient workflows possible to our customers,” said Stephan
Schenk, managing director at ARRI. “Our ALEXA and AMIRA cameras
were the first to implement CFast 2.0 recording, which brings a
range of production benefits. CFast 2.0 opens up creative
opportunities through longer recording times and higher frame rates
with top-quality codecs, all at an impressive price/performance
ratio.”
Industry leaders ARRI, Canon, Hasselblad, PhaseOne and Leica,
and video technology pioneers, Atomos and Blackmagic Design, are
strong supporters of the CFast 2.0 standard.
“The performance of the SanDisk Extreme PRO cards is amazing,
and we are incredibly excited by what they will allow our customers
to do,” said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design. “URSA is the
world’s first digital camera designed around a user-upgradable
sensor and lens mount, and a critical part of its design is the use
of a dual CFast 2.0 recorder for nonstop recording. With these new
SanDisk cards, our customers can dual-record and capture
at incredible speeds.”
Expanding 4K Capture and Seamless Workflow for
Professionals
SanDisk understands that pro-level performance is required for
heavy workloads and effective multi-tasking. For professionals
looking to store and edit 4K video, SanDisk Extreme PRO SSDs
deliver up to 550 MB/s* sequential read speeds that give
professionals the 24/7 consistent performance they need for the
most demanding and graphic-intensive applications. The SanDisk
Extreme PRO SSD is ideal for working with large files, such as 4K
Ultra HD1, because it delivers the necessary speeds and data
safety. The SSD’s performance and value have been recognized by
Atomos and Blackmagic Design, and it is now qualified by both
companies for 4K RAW and 4K ProRes capture in each company’s top
products.
"Reliability in the field is a cornerstone of Atomos products
and a reason why SanDisk is one of our closest partners for
capturing ProRes and DNxHD to an affordable SSD,” said Jeromy
Young, CEO Atomos. “With the emergence of our 4K Shogun recorder,
we are excited to extend certification for the SanDisk Extreme PRO
SSD.”
