Transcontinenta UK Ltd. announce the introduction of two new Angelbird CFexpress media cards that give freelance filmmakers, hobbyists and professional photographers access to leading technology supporting 8K+ RAW video and photo production: AV PRO CFexpress SE Type B 512GB and AV PRO CFexpress SX Type B 160GB.

First time users looking to upgrade to CFexpress-enabled cameras have a unique set of speed standards and capacity needs that Angelbird has taken into account in developing the AV PRO CFexpress SE and AV PRO CFexpress SX media cards.

“We wanted to develop a line of cards that would deliver all the features of high-speed CFexpress Type B technology at just the right capacity for the job. In an increasingly competitive pool of talent, having the right gear is no longer a springboard to success, it is a necessary lifejacket for keeping current with the latest standards of production quality”, according to Roman Rabitsch, Angelbird Founder and CEO.

AV PRO CFexpress SE Type B

Available exclusively in a 512 GB capacity, the AV PRO CFexpress SE highlights an uninterrupted guaranteed sustained write speed of 800 MB/s combined with Stable StreamTM technology to ensure no dropped frames and smooth 8K+ RAW footage throughout the entire capacity of the card. The advanced Y2 processor drives the power needed to support the most demanding recording settings and pushes maximum read speed of 1785 MB/s for quick data transfers between shooting sessions.

One image can change us.

A picture, a moment can change the way we feel. Change how we see ourselves. Change our understanding and change the rules. Provoke and change history.
