 The Rosco SD card is an **industrial grade** card selected for optimal performance in the Dual-Vision XC4 camera. //What does "​industrial grade" mean exactly?// This means that this card will out perform and out live any consumer or commercial SD card available. After thousands of hours of read/write testing and putting this card through the worst conditions we could, it still came out on top of other branded cards. This translates to having a longer lasting card and video being captured reliably when you need it the most.\\ \\  The Rosco SD card is an **industrial grade** card selected for optimal performance in the Dual-Vision XC4 camera. //What does "​industrial grade" mean exactly?// This means that this card will out perform and out live any consumer or commercial SD card available.

-What really sets us apart from others is that we are able to tap into the heart of the SD card itself and give you a percentage of life left before needing to replace it. This effectively takes the guesswork out of replacing SD cards and gives you peace of mind knowing how much time you have left before needing to replace a card.\\ \\ +Contact your Rosco Sales representative for more information on how to obtain ​the Rosco SD card.

Not only are the majority of off-the-shelf cards not rated for the types of environment the cameras operate in, but are also more susceptible to read/write errors when the card begins to degrade. We also cannot tell you the percentage of life left on off-the-shelf cards so there will be more work on your end to keep track of card usage.\\ \\  Even though it is not recommended,​ we understand and respect the need for freedom of choice so we also support the use of off-the-shelf SD cards if so desired.
