Eco Reasons for Memory Card Workflow

Moving from tape-based to memory card-based production results

not only in efficiency gains and cost savings — there are ecological benefits too.

Maintenance-Free Mechanism

Flash memory recording media has several ecological advantages over tape. With no moving parts card are more robust than cassettes, require less power in use, and fewer resources in manufacture. They are also highly reusable, eliminating video tape waste. Without complex mechanical tape transports, memory card camcorders consume less energy, require less periodic maintenance and fewer replacement parts than their tape-based counterparts.

Space-Saving Media

Compared to DVCPRO-HD LP cassettes, SDHC cards are incredibly compact, dramatically reducing storage space requirements for archived recordings. Six JVC protective carriers (each containing up to three SDHC cards) occupy the same space as one cassette. Storage space saved per hour of video is even more startling: while the LP cassette holds two hours of DVCPRO-HD video, six cases of three 32GB SDHC cards can store some 60 hours of 19 Mbps HD video.
