Panasonic, a worldwide leader in the development and manufacture of a range of electronic products, has launched its first 64 GB and 48 GB SDXC memory cards.

The new SDXC memory cards, the RP-SDW64GG1K (64 GB) and RP-SDW48GG1K (48 GB) are Panasonic’s largest-sized Gold cards with class 10 speed specification.

SDXC is the next generation SD Memory Card, a new standard for storing data more than 32 GB and up to 2 terabytes. The Panasonic 64 GB SDXC memory card features a massive 64 GB of capacity, making it ideal for recording AVCHD (advanced video codec high definition) video, high-resolution, or even RAW still photos, a statement said.

Featuring new advanced super intelligent controller helps to improve the reliability of the card and extend its lifetime. The new 64 GB and 48 GB SDXC memory cards will be globally introduced in February.

When used with Panasonic’s camcorders, such as the Panasonic HDC-TM10, the 64 GB SDXC memory card can record up to 8 hours and 30 minutes of video, while recording in the highest video quality in HA mode.  Or when recording in 1920 x 1080i in HE mode, the SDXC memory card can hold approximately 27 hours and 30 minutes of video.

The 48 GB SDXC memory card will have nearly the same capacity as a dual-layer Blu-ray Disc, and can hold 6 hours and 20 minutes of HD video content recorded in HA mode and 20 hours and 20 minutes when recorded in HE mode.

With the class 10 speed specification and maximum data transfer speed of up to 22MB/s, the new Panasonic SDXC memory cards allows users to enjoy superb performance when using with an HD camcorder or a digital interchangeable lens camera, such as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1, for high-speed burst shooting when taking still photos, the statement added.

The 64 GB and 48 GB SDXC memory cards, along with other Panasonic Gold line memory cards, provide longer lifetime, thanks to the adoption of Panasonic’s newly-developed super intelligent controller, which evolves the current super intelligent controller used in the Silver line memory cards.

With the new super intelligent controller, flash memories are automatically refreshed with error corrections, thus preventing data damages and providing longer lifetime.

The new SDXC memory cards include a new technology designed to minimize accidental corruption caused by a power interruption, such as the memory card being removed while data is being transferred.

Panasonic’s SDXC Memory Card robustness is reliable even under severe temperature condition from -25°C to 85°C, the statement said. – TradeArabia News Service
