The SD Association (SDA), a consortium of companies that set memory card standards, today launched its fastest speed class, Video Speed Class. The new classification, some of which overlaps older specifications, demonstrates which cards deliver real-time multi-file recording and support the highest video resolutions and qualities currently available. The new Video Speed Class series of markings and standards insures that 4K, 8K, 3D and 360 degree video recordings can be saved and played back without performance degradation from insufficient data transfer rates.
