Angelbird – CFexpress Type A 1 TB of Beyond Tough Engineering for Sony Cameras

detlev News

ONE TOUGH TB

Angelbird introduces a single 1 TB sized CFexpress Type A card engineered for use with Sony Alpha and FX cameras. The AV PRO CFexpress Type A 1 TB is the highest available capacity CFexpress Type A media on the market. It provides critical speed and performance for lengthy, high-data rate video recording, stills and burst photography in up to 8K RAW. 
“From the very beginning of the Type A card concept it was clear that we needed to expand on the limitations of existing technology. The standard 512 GB was not going to be enough for the type of work our customers create. We absolutely needed a 1 TB card option.”
- Roman Rabitsch, Founder and CEO of Angelbird Technologies

ENGINEERED FOR SONY SHOOTERS

With Sustained Write Speed of 650 MB/s, the AV PRO CFexpress Type A card can achieve and sustain the high recording speeds necessary to support all available features and settings across Sony’s range of CFexpress type A cameras, from the Sony α1, Sony α7 IV, Sony α7S III, Sony FX3, to the Sony FX6.

CFEXPRESS TYPE A VS SD CARD

The AV PRO CFexpress Type A card with Max. Write Speed up to 730 MB/s offers a superior speed and performance advantage vs. a SD card. The impressive speed presents a clear advantage over SD card formats for buffer-free high-data rate production with both high-resolution video and burst photography in 4K+ RAW.

While several Sony cameras feature a unique dual card set-up that is compatible with both CFexpress Type A and UHS-II SD cards, someone who shoots in 4K resolution with intra-frame compressions would require a CFexpress Type A card to take full advantage of Sony’s “Slow and Quick” modes for optimized playback and impressive 1200 Mbps recording available in some settings.

TYPE A IN EVERY WAY

Stable Stream™ Sustained Speed Performance technology supports consistent and continuous read/write speeds throughout the entire capacity of the card. Additionally, the AV PRO CFexpress Type A reduces the amount of power needed to drive the signals—resulting in a high-performance media card with a minimal power drain to the host camera.

Angelbird CFexpress Type A media cards are built tough enough to withstand operation in extreme production environments with temperatures ranging from -10° C to 70° C and feature a Sticker Free™ card surface. Additional rock-solid benefits include a 3-year limited warranty on hard- and software levels and free in-house data recovery service.

FIRMWARE UPDATES VIA ANGELBIRD CFEXPRESS TYPE A CARD READER

Maintain optimal camera compatibility, performance, and full feature set of the Angelbird AV PRO CFexpress Type A card by utilizing the Firmware Update Tool accessed exclusively via an Angelbird CFexpress Type A Card Reader. While the AV PRO CFexpress Type A card is compatible with other card readers on the market, the ability to perform an “Over the Top” firmware update is limited by the communication synergy between Angelbird cards and Angelbird readers.
“Having a card that is ‘up to date’ is a key feature to maintaining camera compatibility. In the past, such updates might have resulted in the release of a new card edition, now we can pass firmware updates and new features directly to the card through the card reader.”
- Roman Rabitsch, Founder and CEO of Angelbird Technologies
