Sonnet SF3 SxS PRO X Card Reader – Dual Slot Thunderbolt 3/4

Next Generation Pro Ingest. Supports SxS PRO X Cards at Full Speed
The Sonnet SF3 Series – SxS PRO X Card Reader is purpose-built for today’s demanding production workflows. SxS professional memory cards are used in many Sony and ARRI digital cinema cameras, with the latest SxS PRO X cards offering nearly 3x faster read speeds than previous generations.

Whether you shoot on the Sony Venice Cinema Camera, PXW-Z750 XDCAM, or compatible Sony cameras such as PXW-X400 and PXW-Z450, the SF3 SxS PRO X Reader ensures you can ingest your footage at full speed, maximizing your productivity in post-production.

When it’s time to ingest footage, don’t settle for an ordinary reader. SxS PRO X cards require a reader that can support their maximum ingest speeds—and with its dual card slots, this reader can simultaneously ingest from two cards at full speed, cutting your ingest times in half.

Supports all SxS media: SxS PRO X, SxS PRO+ E Series, and SxS-1 cards—giving you ultimate flexibility across your productions.

Compact, rugged, and stackable, the SF3 reader also supports daisy-chaining and rack-mounting, making it perfect for DITs, small studio spaces, and multi-camera shoots. Take advantage of Thunderbolt’s massive bandwidth to ingest multiple cards through one cable—fast and efficient.

It comes complete with a 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 cable and ThunderLok 3 connector lock to ensure a secure connection during critical transfers. Backward compatibility with Thunderbolt 2 Macs is also supported via Apple adapters.
