Sony Announces New High-Performance M Series CFexpress Type A Memory Cards CEA-M1920T and CEA-M960T
Compact, high-performance, high-capacity and toughness CFexpress Type A memory cards take the compact dimensions and advanced features of Sony’s Alpha Series to the next level
(ASIA PACIFIC, 5 June 2023) – Sony announced two new CEA-M Series CFexpress Type A memory cards, CEA-M1920T and CEA-M960T, that conform to the CFexpress 2.0 and VPG200 and offer high 1920 GB and 960 GB capacities. In addition to a VPG200 rating that guarantees fast and stable video recording without dropped frames, they are resistant to bending and drop impact, and feature a dust and moisture sealing that ensures maximum reliability in harsh environment. These compact, high-performance memory cards are ideal for professional users who need high capacities and stress-free, reliable operation.
CEA-M1920T (1920 GB) and CEA-M960T (960 GB) reliably shoot longer[i] on location and have the highest available capacities in CFexpress Type A memory cards that comply to VPG standard anywhere in the world[ii], so users need not worry about running out of media space. The memory cards provide plenty of capacity for extended recording video or when shooting stills[iii]. For video shooters, the VPG200 Video Performance Guarantee rating enables stable recording at 200 MB/s with no dropped frames for an extended period, even when recording XAVC S-I 4K footage and high bitrates.
Despite their large capacities, these CFexpress Type A memory cards are very compact, about half the size of Type B cards, and even shorter and narrower than SD cards. An original alloy with superior heat transmission characteristics is used to conduct heat out of the cards and maintain optimum performance. This results in long-term stability and reliable operation when internally recording the large volume of data required for 4K 120p video. What’s more, the CEA-M1920T and CEA-M960T offer the same outstanding toughness of dust and moisture resistance, plus resistance to water, bending and drop impact as Sony’s acclaimed CEA-G series CFexpress Type A memory cards, so important data is protected.
Sony’s free desktop applications support protecting important data in the CFexpress Type A cards: Media Scan Utility diagnoses the state of the flash memory in memory cards, and Memory Card File Rescue recover accidentally deleted image data on memory cards[iv] [v]. RAW images and 4K movie data are supported.
Pricing and Availability:
The new CEA-M1920T and CEA-M960T will be available in selected countries in Asia Pacific from June 2023 onwards.
