Auckland, New Zealand, 9 January, 2012 – Lexar, a leading global brand of flash memory products, today announced the industry’s first 1000x memory card, the
Lexar® Professional 1000x CompactFlash® (CF) card. The new card provides professional photographers and advanced photo
and video enthusiasts with blazing-fast 150MB per second minimum guaranteed sustained read speed.* The Lexar
Professional 1000x CF card will be available in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB capacities, and supports the VPG-20
specification, meaning the card has been tested and guaranteed for professional video capture streams at up to 20MB per
second, ensuring professional-quality video at high frame rates with no dropped frames.
In addition, the Lexar Professional 1000x CF memory card helps accelerate the digital photography workflow, helping
clear the camera’s buffer for uninterrupted shooting and quickly transferring images and video from the memory card to
the computer, when paired with a UDMA 7-enabled reader such as the Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual Slot Reader. For

"Lexar Professional CF cards are the only media I trust to capture my video images. With a significant performance
upgrade and VPG-20 support, I can spend more time behind the camera and less time waiting for footage to transfer," said
Lexar Elite Videographer Alex Buono, who is acclaimed for his video production work on Saturday Night Live. “Lexar has
always understood how professionals shoot, manage, and edit their captured content, offering the tools and technologies
to make the job faster and more efficient. The Professional 1000x CF card will help ensure that a memory card is never
the bottleneck in the creative process.”
The Lexar Professional 1000x CF memory card is compatible with all UDMA CF and CF devices. The card includes the latest
version of award-winning Image Rescue® software to help recover lost or deleted photo and video files, even if they’ve
been erased or the card has been corrupted**. “Professional photographers who shoot both photos and video look to Lexar
for storage solutions that will enhance their digital workflow and remove the obstacles that stand in the way of the
creative process,” said Manisha Sharma, director of product marketing for cards, Lexar. “The Lexar Professional 1000x CF
card offers some of the best performance available, not only for use in-camera, but also when moving images and video
from the card to a computer for editing and processing. Our goal is to allow shooters to focus on capturing great shots,
including high-resolution images and HD or 3D video, instead of wasting precious time processing in the studio.”
The Lexar Professional 1000x CF card provides consumers with the quality and reliability they have come to expect from
Lexar. All product designs are tested in the Lexar Quality Labs to ensure performance, quality, compatibility, and
reliability with more than 800 intended digital devices.
