Before the PRO-BLADE system, media production professionals and prosumers had two options: expensive lower-capacity memory cards or standalone SSDs and hard drives that require wasteful duplication of internal components, cables, etc. The PRO-BLADE system allows users to record straight to a high-speed high-capacity device and to remove and insert a new blade in seconds. The used blade can be inserted into a PRO-BLADE TRANSPORT or a PRO-BLADE STATION for transfer, duplication, editing, and reuse. The PRO-BLADE has a strong metal body that dissipates heat and protects internal components. An asymmetric notch ensures that the PRO-BLADE is inserted correctly.
