Avacab Authorized Reseller

Whether you capture 4Kp60 RAW video sequences on CFexpress memory cards or shoot hundreds of photos in one session and save them on XQD memory cards, the files generated are usually heavy, and the cards fill up with data very quickly. It is essential to have a streamlined workflow to transfer to a computer. Sonnet's SF3 series for CFexpress and XQD cards is the ultimate tool to accomplish these tasks in professional environments.

The Sonnet SF3 Series CFexpress/XQD Pro card reader is one of the few card readers on the market today that allows CFexpress cards to be used at their maximum performance capacity. Its construction is flawless, with a brushed aluminium exterior with ribs that act as heatsinks, two ports on the front that will accommodate CFexpress Type B or XQD cards, as well as two Thunderbolt 3 ports on the back to allow connection to a PC, as well as other Thunderbolt daisy-chained devices.

The SF3 Series - CFexpress/XQD Pro Card Reader is ultra-fast, capable of ingesting CFexpress and XQD card files at their maximum speeds from both cards simultaneously, at more than twice the average ingest speed of other CFexpress or XQD card readers.

Measuring 5.75 inches wide by 1 inch high and 3.5 inches deep, the SF3 Series - CFexpress/XQD Pro Card Reader is suitable for use in any workspace and workflow; for DITs working on multi-camera shoots or in tight spaces, the advantages of its fully portable design stand out: no power cable required, bus-powered from the Thunderbolt connection.

The SF3 Series pro card readers feature rugged aluminium housings designed to stack and daisy-chain, allowing multiple AJA PAK Media, CFast 2.0, CFexpress/XQD, RED MINI-MAG® and SxS PRO X readers to occupy the same space, while connecting to the computer via a single cable. You can take advantage of Thunderbolt's up to 2800MB/s PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth to ingest four, six or more cards simultaneously.
