The card reader transfers data at speeds up to 1.6 gigabits per second. This reduces wait times when moving 4K or 8K video footage from cards to computers. It works with CFexpress Type A/B, SD, and microSD cards. Users can access files quickly without slowing down editing processes.
Sony emphasized the product’s durability. The aluminum body resists dust and water. A built-in cooling system prevents overheating during long transfers. The compact design suits on-location shoots and studio setups.
The card reader connects via USB-C. It is compatible with Windows and macOS systems. Users can daisy-chain multiple devices for expanded storage options. Sony included a three-year warranty to highlight confidence in its performance.
Video professionals often face bottlenecks when managing raw footage. Faster transfers let editors focus on creative tasks instead of technical delays. The card reader addresses this need by prioritizing efficiency.
Pricing starts at $299. Availability begins October 15 in major markets. Retailers include electronics stores and Sony’s online shop. Pre-orders open September 1 with early buyers receiving a protective carrying case.
A Sony spokesperson said the product reflects feedback from filmmakers. Engineers focused on real-world demands like portability and consistent performance. The company plans to expand accessories for content creators in the coming months.
