SxS professional memory cards are used in many past and current Sony and ARRI pro digital video cameras and camcorders. Sony’s latest cards — SxS PRO X — take a performance leap by offering nearly 3x the maximum read speeds over previous generation cards. While Sony Venice Cinema Camera and PXW-Z750 XDCAM exploit SxS PRO X cards’ enhanced performance capabilities, even users of compatible Sony video cameras, such as PXW-X400 and PXW-Z450, can take advantage of the cards’ read speed potential.
When it’s time to ingest footage to your computer, don’t settle on any old card reader — for the shortest ingest times, SxS PRO X cards require a card reader designed to support their maximum ingest speeds (and, for even greater efficiency, a dual-slot card reader that can ingest two cards simultaneously). Get a Sonnet SF3™ Series – SxS PRO X Card Reader; it’s the fastest tool for the job.
Sonnet’s SxS PRO X media card reader easily reads all SxS memory cards at their rated speeds, with simultaneous aggregate performance of two cards up to 2500 MB/s.
Ingests footage from all SxS cards at up to maximum supported speeds. Simultaneously ingest from two cards at full speed.
Supports all SxS media, including SxS PRO X, SxS PRO+ E Series, and SxS-1 cards.
Pro media card reader provides four lanes of PCIe bandwidth for maximum performance.
Small and rugged aluminum enclosure for reliable operation; design enables multiple SF3 Series card readers to occupy same footprint.
Threaded mount points enable secure attachment of two readers side-by-side on a rack tray in just 1U of rack space.
One port connects to computer; second port supports daisy chaining additional card readers.

Supports all SxS media, including SxS PRO X, SxS PRO+ E Series, and SxS-1 cards.
Sonnet’s SxS PRO X media card reader ingests files from all SxS memory cards at their rated speeds. Better still, it can ingest files simultaneously from two cards — at double the average ingest speed of other SxS card readers — to cut your ingest times in half.
Sonnet’s SF3 Series Professional Card Readers include threaded mount points that enable you to securely attach two readers side-by-side on a rack tray in just 1U of rack space.
For DITs working multi-camera shoots or in a small space, equipment size and design features matter. Sonnet’s SxS PRO X media card reader measures just 5.8 inches wide by 5.1 inches deep by 1 inch tall, making it suitable for use in any workspace and workflow.
Sonnet Thunderbolt products feature a high-speed Thunderbolt interface that delivers PCIe bandwidth needed to support data transfers at full speed.
Many Sonnet Thunderbolt products featuring Thunderbolt ports come equipped with threaded mounting holes to securely attach a Sonnet ThunderLok connector lock, preventing Thunderbolt cables from accidentally disconnecting.
SF3 Series Professional Media Card Readers are purposely designed with a Thunderbolt 3 controller and its four lanes of PCIe (not available in a Thunderbolt 4 peripheral) to achieve maximum simultaneous ingest speeds. Watch this video to learn more about the performance benefits.
