SXS cards for Arri Alexa Classic

[RobertJPaterson]

I have an Arri Alexa Classic with the high speed licence.

I know that I need at least an SXS Pro 64gb to record at 120 fps.

But can I use a SXS Pro 32gb to record at lower frame rates? These cards are much much cheaper.

Also which reader is required for these cards?

Thanks.

Dear Robert,

sure 32GB cards are fine for speeds up to 60 fps.
Here's an overview on the compatible cards.

There's several readers for SxS Media:
- an old MacBook Pro 17" (reader included in the mac)
- Sony SxS Reader USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 (--> Google)
- Sonnet Dual SxS Reader

Kind regards,
Jan
