High performance
For years, digital video camera leaders such as Sony and ARRI have used SxS professional memory cards, relying on their quality and speed. With the move to 4K shooting and higher frame rates, cards are filling up faster than ever, and the need for a high-speed card reader with the fastest interface is undeniable.
Sonnet's SF3 series Sonnet SxS Pro card reader fills all the gaps. Featuring a 40 Gbit / s Thunderbolt ™ 3 interface, this card reader rapidly ingests footage from SxS memory cards onto any Mac or Windows computer with a Thunderbolt 3 port, on location, in the studio or in the editing suite, at the fastest speeds.
Optimized productivity
The SF3 series SxS Pro card reader is the first SxS card reader for Thunderbolt 3. This dual-slot reader takes advantage of Thunderbolt 3's 40 Gbps bandwidth to import files simultaneously from two cards at maximum speed - more than double the average acquisition speed of USB 3.0 card readers. Using the Sonnet SxS reader lets you ingest content from multiple cards in much less time, for a much more efficient workflow.
Compact, robust and stackable - four or more cards simultaneously
The SF3 Series SxS Pro card reader - measuring 5.75 inches wide by 1 inch high by 5.1 inches deep - is suitable for use in any workspace. The reader's extruded aluminum shell makes it lightweight, yet robust enough to be carried in an equipment bag without fear of damaging the casing. SF3 Series card readers are designed to be stacked, allowing multiple readers such as additional SxS Pro card readers and Sonnet CFast 2.0 Pro card readers to occupy the same footprint. The SxS reader lets you daisy-chain multiple readers to ingest four, six or more cards simultaneously, taking advantage of Thunderbolt 3's 2,750 MB bandwidth.
