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 flash memory, and is based on the SxS™ memory card specification. 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 efficient 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.
