1.11 Allows USB disk drive - Will it allow USB memory?
I just thought of something.
Sony said, that for the 60GB disk drive to be supported by the EX1, they had to allow USB expresscard interface. Although they said it would not support 3rd party memory... Maybe it now does? Does anybody have a Lexar memory card (or some other expresscard usb memory) available tro try with the 1.11 version of the camera? Would be interesting to know.. If the card could write about 9 MB/s ( 70 mbits) it would be fast enough to take on overcranked footage as well.. Any thoughts? |
I found this in another forum

Those numbers must be wrong.
in 720p60 the EX1 writes (on max vbr) 70 Mbit/s which is almost 10 MB/s.. the SXS Cards can (on paper) handle 100 MB/s.. |

Yeah..
So what I want to know is this: Can you use an USB based SDHC reader and use fast SDHC cards? Anybody got one? |
I wonder if this device could be used to record SP format
Sony | MSAC-EX1 Memory Stick Duo ExpressCard Adaptor | MSAC-EX1 |
I tried this, with no luck (not with v1.11)

We know it doesn't work without 1.11. The point is, for the disk to work, they had to enable USB interface support through expresscard. So it _might_ work with the 1.11 :)

What they have enabled is the use of an Express card to USB adapter card. The PHU-60 is essentially a USB hard drive. It connects to the camera via USB and an Express to USB adapter card. I don't know whether the adapter card is a generic card Sony have re-badged or whether it is a Sony designed card. It may be possible to buy the PHU-60 and then use different hard drives, I don't know, but you would have to find a way to power the drive. As S&Q motion doesn't work with the PHU-60 I guess if you use anything other than an SxS card you will be limited to standard frame rates.

SSD cards work with the 1.11 update

so , any express card adapter to any kind of fast memory should work ?
CFExpressPro ExpressCard to CompactFlash Memory Card Adapter, (Compact Flash) Synchrotech or to usb hard drives ? that would be great since a 120 gig hardrive cost nothing and is far faster than any memory. |

googling some express cards leads me to some cheap prices.... but the SSD SATA drives via a sata cable>express sata gets me excited! |
i am not sure ripling water would change anything, the bandwith is fixed ( i think).

If so thats a hell of a saving on sxs prices if the quality holds up. |
