With 4K becoming the standard and 8K becoming increasingly popular, the company has designed a series of Cinema products to meet this demand in quality. This series features performance, capacity and durability. The firm have 2 CFexpress 2.0 Type-B cards, Cinema EX Plus CEB5F0 (pSLC) and Cinema EX CEB3F0 (3D TLC), and 2 Cfast 2.0 6Gb SATA cards, Cinema Pro CFX310 (MLC) and Cinema X CFX510 (MLC), to satisfy customer needs. All cards are suitable for professionals using Blackmagic Design, Red Digital, Canon, Panasonic, or other high-end cameras. Photos and videos are captured in quality and kept safe with multiple built-in protection features.

The Cinema series also includes a portable SSD, the Cinema Pro PNV350, designed as a mobile storage solution for professional photographers and videographers with up to 4TB of storage capacity. With a high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C interface, data transmission reaches up to 20G. RW speeds can reach up to 2,000MB/s, while support for continuous shooting, long-term uninterrupted recording, and 4K UHD recording/playback allow the performance of high-end cameras to shine. And, to protect that footage, the PNV350 has an IP67 rating for dustproof and waterproof, as well as a set of data security features.

PCIe Gen4x4/3×4 NVMe SSDs:

The company offers 2 series of PCIe NVMe SSDs that are solutions for industrial devices such as 5G communication systems, security defense systems, and rugged edge computing systems. The MEC3H0 series (MEC3H0S/MEC3H0E) with an M.2 2280 form factor features a PCIe Gen4x4 interface and support for NVMe 1.4 with a 112-layer large-capacity 3D TLC flash memory. Coupled with sequential RW speeds up to 7,200/6,800MB/s and temperature resistance of -40°C to 85°C, this series achieves performance, endurance, and reliability, with the ability to handle amounts of data. This data is protected with TCG Opal 2.0 and AES 256-bit data encryption.

For a more cost-efficient option, the MEA3F0E and MEA3K0 series with an M.2 2242 form factor features a DRAM-less design and a PCIe Gen3x4 interface. A maximum capacity of 2TB, sequential RW speeds up to 2,600/2,150MB/s, and PE cycles up to 3K make it an option for professionals who still need a quality SSD on a tighter budget.
