Sonnet SF3 Series - AJA PAK Media Pro Card Reader

SUPERIOR DUAL-SLOT INGEST PERFORMANCE
When your multicam live event production documentary news or sports programming is captured to AJA? Video System’s Ki Pro? Ultra 12G 12G-SDI4K/UHD/HD recorder and player your footage is recorded on ultra-reliable AJA PAK Media SSD cards. With the recorder’s ability to support four channels of simultaneous 1080p at 60 fps recording — or a 4K at 60 fps recording in single-channel mode — those cards fill up fast. The need for a tool that accelerates offloading media files from multiple cards is greater than ever too. The Sonnet SF3™ Series - AJA PAK Media Pro Card Reader is the perfect tool for the job.

DUAL CARD SLOTS DOUBLE PRODUCTIVITY
Certified by AJA the SF3 Series - AJA PAK Media Pro Card Reader ingests media files from PAK Media memory cards at the fastest speeds the cards will support to any computer with Thunderbolt 4 or Thunderbolt 3 ports. And for even greater efficiency it can ingest files simultaneously from two cards at high speed — up to 1030 MB/s — to cut your ingest times in half.

INGEST SIX CARDS SIMULTANEOUSLY
Because Sonnet’s PAK Media reader features a dual-port 40Gbps Thunderbolt interface you can daisy chain up to six of them together to a single port on your computer. Connecting three readers to your computer enables you to ingest six cards simultaneously at full speed to complete the process — without swapping cards — in about one sixth the time required using a single-slot reader!

READY FOR RACKING
Sonnet’s SF3 Series pro card readers include threaded mount points that enable you to securely attach two readers side-by-side on a rack tray in just 1U of rack space.

THE PAK MEDIA CARD READER FOR DIGITAL IMAGING TECHNICIANS (DITS)
For DITs working multi-camera shoots or in a small space equipment size and design features matter. The SF3 Series – AJA PAK Media Pro Card Reader measures just 5.8 inches wide by 6.1 inches deep by 1.4 inches tall making it suitable for use in any workspace and workflow.

DESIGNED TO BE STACKED AND DAISY CHAINED
SF3 Series pro card readers feature rugged aluminum enclosures designed to be stacked and daisy chained enabling multiple AJA PAK Media CFast™ 2.0 CFexpress™/XQD™ RED MINI-MAG? and SxS™ PRO X readers to occupy the same footprint while connecting to your computer through a single cable. You can take advantage of Thunderbolt’s up to 2800 MB/s of PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth to ingest four six or more cards simultaneously!

40GBPS THUNDERBOLT - FASTEST EXTERNAL INTERFACE AVAILABLE
Featuring a dual-port 40Gbps Thunderbolt interface this reader ingests footage from all PAK Media memory cards to Mac and Windows computers with Thunderbolt 4 or Thunderbolt 3 ports — on location in the studio or in the edit suite — at up to the fastest speeds the cards will support.

40GBPS THUNDERBOLT CABLE AND THUNDERLOK 3 INCLUDED
Sonnet includes a Thunderbolt cable that supports Thunderbolt’s full 40Gbps bandwidth and is fully compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 computers. Sonnet also provides a ThunderLok™ 3 Thunderbolt connector retainer clip that prevents accidental cable disconnections — just slide it over one end of the cable and then plug in the connector and secure it to the reader by turning a thumbscrew. Because of its unique design ThunderLok remains on the cable so it won’t get lost when not in use.
