ProGrade Digital CFexpress Type B / SDXC Card Reader
$50.00 /day
The definitive premium, high-utility workflow data link for next-generation cinema offloading and uncompromised multi-format data ingestion, the ProGrade Digital CFexpress Type B and SDXC Dual-Slot Mobile Card Reader is now available for rental in Hong Kong. Leveraging an optimized USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface architecture to deliver data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps (1.25GB/s), this master-grade ingestion hub can read both slots concurrently without a single drop in throughput efficiency. Specifically engineered to seamlessly clear massive high-resolution RAW frames and heavy cinema storage blocks, it features a rugged, heat-dissipating shell and a magnetic base built for secure studio setups. (Note: This standard rental package includes the dual-slot card reader and connecting cables only; memory cards, computer workstations, and camera kits are available for add-on rent separately.)
A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.
The ProGrade Digital CFexpress Type B and SDXC Dual-Slot Professional Card Reader (USB 3.2 Gen 2 / 10Gbps Bandwidth) is an elite, high-utility data management asset engineered for professional cinematographers, busy digital imaging technicians (DIT), and commercial production crews, making it an essential core component for digital asset equipment hire in Hong Kong. Operating as a dedicated high-bandwidth communication pipeline between your high-speed storage media and modern compute stations, this premium ingestion hub transfers multi-gigabyte files with instantaneous responsiveness.
When executing an equipment hire for heavy cinematic shoots in Kwun Tong, precise studio portrait collections, or fast-paced commercial tracking setups in Hong Kong, relying on cheap multi-dongles or low-grade consumer card hubs introduces severe data bottlenecks, thermal throttling, and accidental file corruption. The ProGrade Digital Dual-Slot Reader solves this critical structural bottleneck flawlessly. Featuring a concurrent ingestion pathway that can read both a CFexpress Type B card and a UHS-II SDXC card simultaneously at full 10Gbps bandwidth, it allows data assistants to duplicate A-cam film data and B-cam behind-the-scenes assets at full speed. Its signature sleek, rugged housing resists physical impact and dissipates intense heat buildup cleanly under continuous data-dumping pressure.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Next-Gen On-Set DIT Data Offloading: Direct-links high-speed camera cards to mini workstations running offloading software, clearing multi-terabyte queues instantly without buffering lag.
-
Concurrent Multi-Format Studio Ingestion: Reads a flagship CFexpress Type B card and an uncompressed backup SDXC card at the exact same time over a single robust data path.
-
Magnetic Mobile Workspace Rigging: Uses its built-in magnetic backing module to snap firmly onto laptop lids or DIT metal plates to remain perfectly secure across hectic venue floors.
-
Blistering 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 Interface: Full support for high-speed USB architecture cuts file ingestion and data transfer wait times down to a fraction of traditional timelines.

-
Q: Are memory cards, laptop computer workstations, or data offloading verification software included inside this standard rental listing?
A: No, they are not. This specific rental listing covers the standalone ProGrade dual-slot card reader and its official connecting cables only. It is intentionally priced for production assistants, digital capture technicians, or freelance media operators who already manage their preferred memory media and compute stations and simply require a certified, rugged data ingestion tool on location. If your crew requires an independent compute or storage environment, please remember to add our Mac mini M4 compute modules, CFexpress Type B cards, or ASUS ProArt displays to your Hong Kong gear allocation.
-
Q: Can this reader be used to offload CFexpress Type A cards, such as those used in native Sony FX3 or A7S III camera bodies?
A: No, it is completely incompatible with Type A cards. CFexpress Type B and CFexpress Type A are two entirely distinct mechanical form factors with different dimensions and pin configurations. Type B cards are larger (matching XQD sizes), while Type A cards are smaller and thinner. This specific reader features one dedicated CFexpress Type B slot and one dedicated SDXC (UHS-II) slot. If your production is utilizing Sony cameras running Type A media, please ensure you rent our dedicated CFexpress Type A card reader listing instead to ensure perfect hardware alignment.
-
Q: Does the data transfer speed drop or bottleneck when I plug in and copy both a CFexpress Type B and an SD card at the same time?
A: No, absolutely not. Unlike cheap consumer multi-adapters that share and choke a single internal processing lane, this professional ProGrade reader houses independent controller chipsets mapped to a robust USB 3.2 Gen 2 data path. It delivers full, unthrottled concurrent throughput up to 10Gbps across both slots simultaneously. This means your crew can dump an 8K RAW cinema file from the CFexpress slot and high-resolution photo batches from the SD slot at full speed with zero buffer lag.
-
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
-
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.
-
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
