Powering the Next Generation of Capture

CODEX has been trusted on some of the world's most demanding film and television productions, such as the recent history-making box office hit Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Project Hail Mary, Wicked: For Good, and all seasons to date for House of the Dragon, and has built its reputation on developing capture media and workflow technologies where reliability is essential.

The new CFexpress portfolio now brings that same engineering philosophy to professional filmmakers, photographers, and hybrid creators.

The Next Generation Performance for Professional Workflows

Available in both Type A and Type B to support a wide range of professional camera systems, including Canon, Sony, Blackmagic and RED, and in Excel and Elite performance tiers for different workflow demands, the new range has been designed for creators who need dependable, sustained performance, rapid offloads and complete confidence in their media.

Combined with the new CODEX CFexpress Type B Reader, this new generation of CODEX media combines the speed of PCIe Gen 4 with the reliability and performance expected from professional cinema and imaging applications.

USB4 connectivity with the Reader provides exceptional performance and is widely compatible with modern Mac and Windows computers. This allows for rapid backups and faster turnarounds of your media, giving you more time to focus on the creative. Fast offloading at speeds of up to 5000MB/s (faster than current generation media).

1TB OF DATA FROM A CODEX CFEXPRESS TYPE B ELITE CARD CAN BE READ AT 3500MB/s IN LESS THAN 5 MINS

Whether you’re in the studio or on location, the new CFexpress 4.0 range from CODEX is built to keep pace.
