Supercharge Your RED Workflow with a Dual-Slot Thunderbolt 3 Reader

In the fast-paced world of digital cinema production, workflow bottlenecks are more than just an annoyance—they cost time and money. Waiting for footage to ingest from RED MINI-MAG cards can stall dailies, delay edits, and bring your entire creative pipeline to a halt. It's time to eliminate the wait and accelerate your process from set to suite with the Sonnet SF3 Series RED MINI-MAG Pro Card Reader.

This professional-grade, RED-approved reader is the ultimate tool for Digital Imaging Technicians (DITs), editors, and colorists who demand maximum efficiency. Its core power lies in its dual card slots, allowing you to ingest footage from two RED MINI-MAG cards simultaneously at their maximum speeds. By effectively cutting your data transfer times in half, you can offload hours of 8K, 6K, and high-frame-rate REDCODE RAW footage in a fraction of the time. This frees you and your team to focus on what truly matters: crafting the perfect shot and telling a compelling story.

Fueled by a blazing-fast 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 interface, the SF3 reader ensures you’re never limited by connection speed. The performance is housed within a compact, rugged aluminum enclosure designed for the rigors of on-set production and the tight spaces of an edit bay. Its smart, stackable design allows it to integrate seamlessly with other Sonnet SF3 series readers, creating a clean and powerful DIT or post-production hub. Dual Thunderbolt 3 ports enhance its versatility, enabling you to connect your computer and daisy-chain up to five additional Thunderbolt devices—from high-speed RAID storage to 4K displays—all through a single cable without performance loss.

This certified pre-owned unit delivers elite professional hardware at an exceptional value. Each reader undergoes a meticulous inspection and testing process by certified technicians to ensure it meets the highest standards of performance and reliability. To give you complete confidence in your investment, this smart, budget-friendly purchase is backed by a comprehensive 9-month warranty, making it the perfect choice for upgrading your workflow without breaking the bank.
