Sony Electronics: M Series CFexpress Type A Memory Cards 1,920GB CEA-M1920T and 960GB CEA-M960T

Sony Electronics, Inc. announced two CEA-M Series CFexpress Type A memory cards, CEA-M1920T and CEA-M960T, that conform to the CFexpress 2.0 and VPG200 and offer 1,920GB and 960GB capacities.

In addition to a VPG200 rating that guarantees fast and stable video recording without dropped frames, they are resistant to bending and drop impact and feature a dust and moisture sealing that ensures reliability in any environment. These compact, high-performance memory cards are for professional users who need high capacities and stress-free, reliable operation.

CEA-M1920T and CEA-M960T reliably shoot longer ⁽¹⁾ on location and have some of the highest available capacities in CFexpress Type A memory cards that comply to VPG standard anywhere in the world ⁽²⁾, so running out of media space is not a concern. The memory cards provide capacity for extended recording video or when shooting stills (3) For video shooters, the VPG200 Video Performance Guarantee rating enables stable recording at 200MB/s with no dropped frames for an extended period, even when recording XAVC S-I 4K footage and high bit rates.

Despite their large capacities, these CFexpress Type A memory cards are compact, about half the size of Type B cards, and even shorter and narrower than SD cards. An original alloy with heat transmission characteristics is used to conduct heat out of the cards and maintain optimum performance. This results in long-term stability and reliable operation when internally recording the large volume of data required for 4K 120p video. What’s more, the CEA-M1920T and CEA-M960T offer the same toughness of dust and moisture resistance, plus resistance to water, bending and drop impact as the company’s CEA-G series CFexpress Type A memory cards, so important data is protected.

The firm‘s free desktop applications support protecting important data in the CFexpress Type A cards: Media Scan Utility diagnoses the state of the flash memory in memory cards, and Memory Card File Rescue recover accidentally deleted image data on memory cards (4, 5). RAW images and 4K movie data are supported.

The CEA-M1920T and CEA-M960T will be available in June 2023 at a variety of the company’s authorized dealers, for an estimated retail price of $1,400 and $760, respectively.
