Sony MEAD-SD02 SD Card Adapter for XDCAM EX Cameras

The Sony MEAD-SD02 SD Card Adapter is designed to expand the media options available for XDCAM EX camcorders. This innovative adapter enables users to use consumer-grade SDHC or SDXC cards in their XDCAM EX devices, providing a more affordable alternative to professional-grade SxS memory cards. The MEAD-SD02 is crafted to fit within the media slots of XDCAM EX cameras without protruding, ensuring the media cover stays securely in place during shooting. It provides an easy solution for those who require additional storage or wish to reduce costs without sacrificing essential functionality.

Ideal for budget-conscious users or those working in the field with limited access to professional-grade media, the MEAD-SD02 delivers the flexibility of SD Card usage without compromising compatibility. However, users should note that the performance of SD cards may not match that of SxS media, particularly in high-speed applications like Slow Motion recording. Despite this limitation, the MEAD-SD02 remains a reliable solution for standard recording tasks. It's compatible with select XDCAM EX models and allows for seamless integration with XDCAM EX hardware, ensuring smooth operations when recording and transferring content.

The MEAD-SD02 adapter is also designed for use with various other ExpressCard-compatible hardware, making it versatile for both recording and editing. The recorded content can be easily transferred to a PC or Mac without requiring additional drivers, making the transition from fieldwork to post-production efficient and hassle-free. This added compatibility extends to the PXU-MS240 HDD backup unit, allowing users to quickly offload footage for storage and further editing. Overall, the MEAD-SD02 is a smart, cost-effective solution for enhancing media flexibility with XDCAM EX cameras.
