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.
Periodical inspection and replacement of mechanical parts
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.

Maintenance-Free Mechanism

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.
