As I was packing my gear to attend the annual NAB event in Las Vegas, OWC announced four new storage solutions for us content creators that excite me. Having used the Envoy and Atlas series of CFExpress cards for over a year, I have to say OWC’s storage solutions are dependable and nigh indestructible.
This year OWC has built the ultimate toolbox for content creators, the OWC Atlas ecosystem. This one-stop shop offers everything you need to bring your vision to life, from capturing that perfect shot to delivering it to the world – it's Capture to Completion made easy thanks to dependable storage options that will fit the needs of any content creator.
Let’s have a peek at what OWC is bringing to creators this NAB 2024.
The Atlas Pro CFexpress 4.0 Type A card.
Built for the most demanding projects, these cards are all about reliability and speed. Atlas Pro cards are rigorously tested under extreme camera settings to ensure your irreplaceable content is captured and accessed securely.
The real magic lies in the CFexpress 4.0 technology, slashing data transfer times by 2x compared to CFexpress 2.0 and a staggering 6x faster than SD cards. Need even more speed? Pop the included Type A-to-Type B adapter and pair it with OWC's Atlas USB4 CFexpress 4.0 Type B reader for maximum performance.
OWC goes a step further with data security. Atlas Pro cards boast industry-leading VPG200 certification, guaranteeing sustained performance for high-resolution video and burst photography.
Larry O'Connor, OWC's Founder and CEO, says it best: "Atlas CFexpress Type A cards unlock access to the highest quality capture settings with CFA 4.0 specs, top-tier VPG200 certification, and OWC's rigorous testing standards. Sony shooters will experience the benefits of lightning-fast speed and rock-solid reliability."
But OWC doesn't stop there. Its Innergize software completes the Atlas ecosystem. Innergize keeps your cards healthy, ensuring zero dropped frames while shooting and optimizing performance over time.
You can even upgrade your card's firmware on the fly, guaranteeing optimal compatibility with your camera and the latest advancements. With Atlas Pro CFexpress 4.0 and Innergize, you can focus on capturing your vision with confidence, knowing your gear has your back.
