Hsinchu, Taiwan: Kingston Technology Company,
Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today
announced it is adding a 16GB Class 4 SDHC Flash memory card to give
consumers greater storage flexibility and faster speed to optimize
use of today's higher resolution imaging equipment. The new 16GB
card is the largest capacity in Kingston's line of SDHC cards, which
include 4- and 8GB SDHC Class 2/4/6 versions.
"Higher resolution digital cameras and
increasingly popular HD video camcorders require high capacity
memory cards with faster data transfer rates (DTRs) to maximize
overall performance of the recording device," said Dave Lee,
Flash Memory Product Manager, APAC Region, Kingston. "Our new
16GB Class 4 memory card answers the performance needs and expands
Kingston's product line to provide a memory solution for every
application."
Even with today's high resolution recording
devices, a 16GB memory card can store literally thousands of photos
and hours of high definition video. For example, the new 16GB SDHC
card can capture more than 7,500* images (with a 6MP camera) and
more than four hours* of video (for 6Mbps HD Extended recording).
Kingston SDHC memory cards are offered in three
different speed classes (2, 4 and 6) with each speed class
designation reflecting the minimum sustained DTR. For example, a
Class 2 SDHC card has a minimum DTR of 2 megabytes per second, while
a Class 6 SDHC card has a minimum DTR of 6 megabytes per second.
These cards are the perfect solution for today's SDHC-compatible
devices that run MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and other high quality video
compression used by consumer HD and DVD video.
Kingston's line of SDHC memory cards are backed
by a lifetime warranty and free technical support.
