Professional Dual-Slot SxS PRO X Card Reader for Computers with Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 Ports

Mac | Windows

Supports SxS PRO X Cards at Full Speed | Superior Dual-Slot Ingest Performance

SxS™ professional memory cards are used in many past and current Sony® and ARRI® pro digital video cameras and camcorders. Sony's latest cards-SxS PRO X-take a performance leap by offering nearly 3x the maximum read speeds over previous generation cards. While Sony Venice Cinema Camera and PXW-Z750 XDCAM exploit SxS PRO X cards' enhanced performance capabilities, even users of compatible Sony video cameras, such as PXW-X400 and PXW-Z450, can take advantage of the cards' read speed potential.

When it's time to ingest footage to your computer, don't settle on any old card reader-for the shortest ingest times, SxS PRO X cards require a card reader designed to support their maximum ingest speeds (and, for even greater efficiency, a dual-slot card reader that can ingest two cards simultaneously). Get a Sonnet SF3™ Series - SxS PRO X Card Reader; it's the fastest tool for the job.

Built for Two - Read up to 2500 MB/s | Dual-Slot Ingest at Maximum Read Speeds

The SF3 Series - SxS PRO X Card Reader easily reads all SxS memory cards at their rated speeds, with simultaneous aggregate performance of two cards up to 2500 MB/s.

Pocketable. Bus-Powered. Silent.

The Solo10G is pocketable-measuring just 3.1 inches wide by 4.5 inches deep by 1.1 inches tall-and bus-powered to enable truly portable use without a power adapter. Wrapping the latest technologies in a rugged aluminum case, Sonnet designed a cool-running adapter that doesn't need a fan, allowing silent and energy-efficient operation.

Simple Setup

Connect the Solo10G adapter to your computer, and the adapter to the network switch or directly to 10GbE-enabled storage, and then configure the adapter's settings through the macOS Network control panel, Windows Device Manager(3), or Linux command line (or graphical utility). How's that for simple?

Ingest P2 Content, Fast

Sonnet's Thunderbolt Pro P2 Card Reader quickly transfers files from Panasonic P2 memory cards to your Mac (with Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 ports) on location, in the studio, or in the edit suite. This single-slot reader's ability to transfer data from P2 cards at much higher speeds than USB 2.0 card readers are capable makes for a significantly more convenient and efficient workflow. Its value price makes it the most cost-effective P2 card reader available.

The Thunderbolt Pro P2 Card Reader can ingest files from P2 memory cards up to four times as fast as other single-slot card readers. Requiring only a single cable to connect to your Mac, this high-performance Sonnet reader is bus powered (no separate power supply required) and exploits its 10Gbps Thunderbolt interface to deliver superior performance. As a result, this memory card reader transfers data at up to 600 mb/s!

The Thunderbolt Pro P2 Card Reader connects directly to your Mac's Thunderbolt port or at the end of a Thunderbolt device chain. The reader supports all P2 memory cards and frame rates, and supports microP2 cards with an adapter (sold separately).

Measuring a compact 3.6 inches wide by 1 in high by 4.5 inches deep, the Thunderbolt Pro P2 Card Reader is the smallest P2 reader available, making it perfect for use anywhere space is tight. The reader's shell is made from extruded aluminum, making it lightweight, and yet rugged enough to be transported in an equipment bag without fear of cracking the case. Sonnet includes a Thunderbolt cable for directly connecting the card reader your system.

Blazing-Fast 10GBASE-T Connectivity Over Thunderbolt 3 for Mac and Windows

Increased demand for greater data transfer speeds and more bandwidth over shared networks, plus the need for HD video editing support on high-performance shared storage systems has driven the explosion in demand for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) networking-offering ten times the performance of Gigabit Ethernet, the most common wired network connection today. It's no wonder. And yet, most computers aren't equipped to get you connected. If your computer has a Thunderbolt™ 3 port, you are in luck-Sonnet's Twin 10G™ Thunderbolt 3 Edition dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter is the powerfully simple and cost effective solution for adding blazing-fast 10GBASE-T 10GbE network connectivity to any Mac® or Windows® computer with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports.

The Twin 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter is equipped with two RJ45 ports, enabling it to connect to 10GbE infrastructure via inexpensive CAT-6 or CAT-6A copper cabling at distances up to 55 or 100 meters, respectively.

Simplified Setup

How simple? Just connect the Twin 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter to your computer via the included Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cable, download and install a driver, connect the adapter to the network switch or directly to 10GbE-enabled storage via CAT-6 or CAT-6A cables, and configure the adapter's settings through the macOS® Network control panel or Windows Device Manager.

Intelligent Operation

The Twin 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter attains its high throughput performance and low host-CPU utilization through functions such as flow control, 64-bit address support for systems using more than 4GB of physical memory; and stateless offloads such as TCP, UDP and IPv4 checksum offloading. These processes enable your computer to perform better while large files transfers or high I/O operations take place. This Sonnet adapter's dual 10GbE connections support transparent failover to keep your computer connected in case a single cable is disconnected or one of the ports fails, and also support link aggregation for increased throughput!

Small and Nearly Noiseless

The Twin 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter is compact enough to easily fit in most workspaces, yet large enough to support proper airflow inside the case-its design enables the adapter's temperature-controlled, variable-speed fan to keep the adapter running cool and whisper-quiet at all times, making it suitable for use in noise-sensitive environments. Constructed of rugged and lightweight aluminum, the adapter's outer shell securely protects the inner circuitry.

Thunderbolt 3 -
The USB-C That Does It All

The Twin 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter includes two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports; the first connects the adapter to your computer, while the second supports daisy-chaining of up to five additional Thunderbolt peripheral devices to a single port on your computer. The Sonnet adapter includes 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 support, meaning you can connect a USB device to the second port using the proper cable or adapter. The Twin 10G also provides full support for connecting two 4K displays @ 60Hz or one 5K display @ 60Hz. For connected devices requiring extra power, 15 watts is provided to connected bus-powered devices.
