Lifetime Indicator
Lifetime indicator displays on camcorder (SxS-1 only)
The remaining media rewrite cycle is displayed in the viewfinder
of XDCAM™/XDCAM EX™ camcorders† and a notification will be
shown when SxS-1 memory card is approaching its end-of-life.
This function does not support consumer cards.
† Only when using PMW-E1R, PMW-320, PMW-330, PMW-350 or PMW-500. (When recorded at full capacity one time per day, SxS-1 will continue to use for approximately five years.)
Compact Size
The SxS-1 Memory Card specification uses ExpressCard™/34 modules (width: 34mm, height: 5mm, depth: 75mm), half the size of PC Cards. This enables the design of professional camcorders to be smaller and lighter, while still offering high storage capacities.
High Reliability
Salvage function for XDCAM™/XDCAM EX™ Camcorder
A unique salvage function serves to restore content lost due to power failure or memory disconnection during recording. In addition, SxS-1 Memory Card specifies product reliabilities offering the freedom to shoot in harsh conditions and environments. Consumer cards do not support this function.
Note: No guarantee is given for content restoration.
