Sandisk’s HD video flash card line

Consumers who own camcorders that use flash memory cards instead of tape will now be able to select the right storage media for their cameras with the debut of a video card line from SanDisk Corporation. In the category of storage media, SanDisk Video HD cards will be available in SDHC (high-capacity) and Memory Stick PRO Duo formats, and will be identified by minutes of recording time as well as by capacity.

“Until now, it has been difficult for consumers to select the memory card that is the most suitable for their camcorders, and equally difficult to calculate the amount of recording time they have available from the various resolution settings,” said Susan Park, senior product marketing manager. SanDisk Video HD cards exceed the performance required by high definition camcorders, making them ideal for 1080i High Definition recording. They also feature a fast read speed, making for efficient transfer speeds to a personal computer and giving them a “best in class” performance for video cards.
