Panasonic USA has revealed the release date details for its upcoming 32GB SD High Capacity (SDHC) Memory Card, suggestion for use with camcorders that utilize the AVCHD format. In April 2008, new SDHC Memory Card, RP-SDV32GU1K, will be launched and is advertised as being able to record up to 12 hours of High Definition video content, depending on the camcorder and the resolution and bitrate settings.
Panasonic recently released the HDC-SD9 camcorder, which is suggested for use with the new 32GB card. Using the HDC-SD9, up to 12 hours of content can be recorded at 1440 x 1080i video in HE mode, or approximately four hours of video content at 1920 x 1080i in HA mode. With the Class 6 speed of the 32GB SDHC card, transfer speeds up to 20MB/s are possible.
The arrival of Panasonic's 32GB SDHC Memory Card further strengthens the company's Pro High Speed line-up and brings the total line to six models, joining those currently available: the 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and 16GB card sizes with the Class 6 speed specification. Approximately 12,320 still images can be stored on the card according to the company's press release.
