Jim Selby, Product Marketing Manager EMEA, Kingston Technology comments: 'Today's higher resolution image devices require larger memory card capacities and faster sustained data transfer rates (DTR) to maximise overall performance'.
Selby continues: 'Our new 8Gbyte SDHC cards, as well as the 4Gbyte Class 4 and 6 cards, are designed to satisfy the growing demand of consumers wanting to get the most out of their advanced digital devices'.
The new SDHC format surpasses capacities beyond the original 2Gbyte threshold for the Secure Digital (SD) card format.
Offered in three different speed classes (2, 4 and 6), each SDHC class designation reflects the minimum sustained DTR in megabytes per second.
For example, a Class 2 SDHC card has a minimum DTR of 2Mbyte/s, whereas a Class 6 SDHC card has a minimum DTR of 6Mbyte/s.
The higher capacities and speeds of the SDHC format optimises SDHC-compatible devices running MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and other high quality video compression used by consumer in HD and DVD video.
