Fremont, CA, 5 January, 2012 - Lexar, a leading global brand of flash memory
products, today announced the industry's first 1000x memory card, the Lexar(r)
Professional 1000x CompactFlash(r) (CF) card. The new card provides professional
photographers and advanced photo and video enthusiasts with blazing-fast 150MB
per second minimum guaranteed sustained read speed.* The Lexar Professional
1000x CF card will be available in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB capacities, and
supports the VPG-20 specification, meaning the card has been tested and
guaranteed for professional video capture streams at up to 20MB per second,
ensuring professional-quality video at high frame rates with no dropped frames.
In addition, the Lexar Professional 1000x CF memory card helps accelerate the
digital photography workflow, helping clear the camera's buffer for
uninterrupted shooting and quickly transferring images and video from the
memory card to the computer, when paired with a UDMA 7-enabled reader such as
the Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual Slot Reader. For additional information
about the Lexar Professional 1000x CF card, visit www.lexar.com.
'Lexar Professional CF cards are the only media I trust to capture my video
images. With a significant performance upgrade and VPG-20 support, I can spend
more time behind the camera and less time waiting for footage to transfer,'
said Lexar Elite Videographer Alex Buono, who is acclaimed for his video
production work on Saturday Night Live. 'Lexar has always understood how
professionals shoot, manage, and edit their captured content, offering the
tools and technologies to make the job faster and more efficient. The
Professional 1000x CF card will help ensure that a memory card is never the
bottleneck in the creative process.'
The Lexar Professional 1000x CF memory card is compatible with all UDMA CF and
CF devices. The card includes the latest version of award-winning Image Rescue(r)
software to help recover lost or deleted photo and video files, even if they've
been erased or the card has been corrupted.**
'Professional photographers who shoot both photos and video look to Lexar for
storage solutions that will enhance their digital workflow and remove the
obstacles that stand in the way of the creative process,' said Manisha Sharma,
director of product marketing for cards, Lexar. 'The Lexar Professional 1000x
CF card offers some of the best performance available, not only for use
in-camera, but also when moving images and video from the card to a computer
for editing and processing. Our goal is to allow shooters to focus on capturing
great shots, including high-resolution images and HD or 3D video, instead of
using up precious time processing in the studio.'
The Lexar Professional 1000x CF card provides consumers with the quality and
reliability they have come to expect from Lexar. All product designs are tested
in the Lexar Quality Labs to ensure performance, quality, compatibility, and
reliability with more than 800 intended digital devices.
