Review Summary
Sony "SxS-1" was developed to meet demands for an affordable solution to SxS PRO memory cards. The SxS-1 memory card maintains the same shooting capability as SxS PRO as well as high performance and reliability for professional use.
The only differentiation between the SxS-1 and SxS Pro Memory card is the reduced number of read/write cycles. In order to keep track of the SxS-1 remaining usage, Sony has equipped the latest PMW-EX1R and PMW-350 camcorders with a "media life indicator" which is shown on the camcorder display.
The SxS-1 memory card is compatible with the new XDCAM EX camcorder models PMW-EX1R, PMW-350L and PMW-350K. In the case of PMW-EX1/EX3/10MD, an end user firmware upgrade, will be required and can be downloaded from the Sony Pro Media website as soon as available.
Users that own an PMW-EX30 must send their deck to a Sony Service center to complete the required firmware updates
