ARRI has introduced a new CFast 2.0 memory card this
week in the form of the ARRI Edition AV PRO AR 256 CFast 2.0 card by Angelbird.
The new memory card has been created thanks to a close partnership between ARRI
and Angelbird Technologies. The result is a “rock-solid 256 GB CFast 2.0 card,
with super-stable recording performance all the way across the storage space,
making it the perfect addition to an ALEXA Mini or AMIRA camera setup”.
Oliver Temmler, Product Manager for Storage Media at
the ARRI headquarters in Munich, Germany explains more. ”Many of the CFast cards
we tested delivered good results, but it usually takes the manufacturers a few
attempts to stabilize their performance for high data-rate write patterns.
Angelbird really stood out-they listened to us closely and quickly determined
which parameters they had to tweak.”
“For the ARRI Edition CFast card, the Angelbird team
did not want to settle for “good enough” but went straight for “the very best.”
They developed an ARRI-specific card that uses a combination of thermally
conductive material and so-called underfill, to provide superior heat
dissipation from the chips, and to secure the electronic components against
mechanical damage. The ARRI Edition AV PRO AR 256 memory card by Angelbird is
available exclusively from ARRI and other sales channels offering ARRI
products.”
Unfortunately, no information on pricing or
worldwide availability has been released.
