UHS-I card, the world’s highest capacity full-sized SD™ memory
card. These new offerings expand the company’s impressive portfolio
of 4K Ultra High Definition (3840x2160p)1 capable products. For
more than 25 years, SanDisk has been committed to delivering
breakthrough technologies that expand the possibilities of
storage.
The New Era of 4K Ultra HD Video
4K Ultra HD video resolution is the next generation of video
quality ushering a new era of consumer devices that require fast,
reliable storage as a core enabling component.
The exceptional resolution that 4K Ultra HD video delivers comes
at the expense of very large files that can reach up to four times
the size of a Full HD (1080p) video file. The SanDisk Extreme PRO
microSDXC UHS-I card, the fastest microSD UHS-I memory card in the
world, now comes with up to 64GB of storage to address consumers’
desire to generate high quality 4K Ultra HD content. With transfer
speeds of up to 95MB/s*, users can shoot like a pro and still
experience world-class responsiveness from their smartphone, tablet
or action camera. The card also features Class 10 and UHS Speed
Class 3 (U3) ratings, which are recommended by the SD Association
for 4K Ultra HD video capture.
“4K video capture is being implemented in smartphones and
‘prosumer’ cameras and camcorders much more quickly than was the
case when HD was launched. SanDisk understands where the market is
headed and has the foresight to create solutions that enable
optimal video capture and sharing across multiple host devices,"
said Chris Chute, vice president, SMB Cloud & Mobility,
IDC.
“Features like 4K Ultra HD video recording, which were once only
available on high-end devices, have quickly gained popularity and
adoption,” said Dinesh Bahal, vice president, product marketing,
SanDisk. “There is no doubt 4K Ultra HD is a game-changer and we
are committed to enabling the next generation of video capture and
sharing.”
SanDisk has also upgraded its range of memory cards and SSDs to
enable consumers to take full advantage of 4K Ultra HD:
- The SanDisk Extreme, SanDisk Extreme
PLUS and SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDHC™/microSDXC memory card
families have been upgraded to the U3 standard to deliver 4K Ultra
HD.
- The new 512GB SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC
UHS-I card, the world’s highest capacity SD card, will allow users
to capture more video and photos on an SD card than ever
before.
- The SanDisk Extreme PRO SSDs deliver
24/7 consistent pro-level performance for the most demanding and
graphics-intensive applications, and are now qualified by Atomos
and Blackmagic Design, two industry pioneers, for 4K RAW and 4K
ProRes capture.
SanDisk will be showcasing its newest offerings at Photokina,
Hall 2.1 Stand: A014.
