Transcend Releases SDHC HD Video Cards in India

[taher]

Transcend brings its latest memory card series to India dubbed as the SDHC HD Video cards. These cards are the customers’ solution for recording, storing and playing HD video content. The memory cards are extremely light as they weigh a mere 2gm and are 32(L) x 24(W) x 2.1 (H) in size.

Extremely lightweight at 2 g, Transcend's SDHC HD Video Cards are fully Class 6 compliant, which means they provide extremely fast data transfer speeds (guaranteed minimum write speed of 6 MBps) to assure quick reaction time when used in digital cameras and camcorders.

Austin Huang, Regional Head - Sales, SAARC and APAC, Transcend, said, "Today's latest camcorders record digital video at extremely high resolutions without compromising image quality. However, the improved clarity of HD video requires a significantly greater amount of storage space when recording. We are confident that our customers will appreciate the enhanced performance that Transcend's SDHC HD Video Cards offer as they are fully equipped to handle the increased capacity, speed, and reliability requirements of HD video."

When recording in high quality 1920 x 1080 AVCHD format at 13 Mbps compression rate, a 16 GB Transcend SDHC HD Video Card can store 2 hours and 40 minutes of video content. Moreover, if slightly lower quality settings are used, the same 16 GB card can record up to six full hours of high definition video. For added convenience, the front of each Transcend SDHC HD Video card features a useful space for labeling and organizing recorded video content.

Modern 10 MP digital cameras and HD camcorders continuously save large amounts of high-resolution image data to the memory card during use, and the speed at which cameras can save this information directly affects its performance. Transcend's high-speed Class 6 SDHC HD Video Cards cater directly to digital camera and HD camcorder users by allowing faster image and video saving for improved overall camera response.

Transcend SDHC HD video cards are available in 3 formats namely 4GB, 8GB and 16GB for a price of Rs.1000, Rs.1800 and Rs.3500 respectively. A warranty of 3 years is offered with all three memory formats
