Important Notes About SSD Speed
If your SSD is dropping frames, try a different SSD or use a compressed HD recording format such as
ProRes or DNxHD for lower data rates. Check the Blackmagic Design website for the latest information.
Choosing a Fast SD Card
It's important to use SDHC and SDXC cards with Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. These cards
are rated for fast data speeds and support larger storage sizes.
We have provided a table showing SD cards that have tested reliable for video recording and playback.
From a quick glance you can see which SD card is fast enough to handle a chosen format.
