Memory cards are becoming more of a standard in recording media for professional broadcasting. With faster ingestion into non-linear editing systems and with scaleable recording settings, memory cards or solid state cards are defining the way of future tapeless production. Camcorder manufacturers now offer Compact Flash, Memory Stick Pro, SD (high capacity called SDHC) or Panasonics P2 and Sony SxS. Sony’s SxS card has been developed by Sony and Sandisk to be used in the ExpressCard slot that you will find in any new laptop computer whereas compact flash and SD cards have been around since the 1990’s and are now the cheaper format of solid state memory.
