Lexar Professional Workflow CFexpress/SD Reader Hub

The Lexar Professional Workflow CFexpress/SD Reader Hub is a purpose-built multi-bay card reader hub designed to accelerate media ingest operations in professional video production, broadcast, and photography environments. The hub accommodates simultaneous reading from multiple CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II card slots, enabling parallel data transfer from several cards at once and dramatically reducing turnaround time between shoots and post-production pipelines. Its modular architecture integrates seamlessly into existing Lexar Professional Workflow hub ecosystems, allowing facilities to mix and match reader modules according to their specific card format requirements.

Built around a SuperSpeed USB interface, the hub delivers sustained read throughput capable of saturating the bandwidth of today's fastest CFexpress Type B cards, which can exceed 1700 MB/s sequential read performance. The unit connects to host workstations via a single high-speed upstream port, consolidating multi-card ingest into a clean, cable-efficient desktop or rack-adjacent configuration. Thermal management is handled passively through an aluminum-alloy chassis that dissipates heat generated during prolonged high-bandwidth transfers, ensuring consistent performance across extended ingest sessions without throttling.

Targeting digital imaging technicians, post-production supervisors, and broadcast engineers, the Lexar Professional Workflow CFexpress/SD Reader Hub was launched in November 2025 as part of Lexar's expanded Professional Workflow ecosystem. Compatibility spans major non-linear editing platforms including Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Avid Media Composer, and the hub is driver-free on modern Windows and macOS operating systems, enabling plug-and-play deployment in fast-moving production environments where setup time directly impacts operational efficiency.

Ideal for

• High-volume daily media ingest for feature film and episodic television productions using CFexpress Type B cards from cinema cameras such as Sony VENICE, Canon EOS C70, or Nikon Z-series bodies
• Broadcast news operations requiring rapid simultaneous offload from multiple camera crews returning with UHS-II SD and CFexpress cards under tight air-time deadlines
• Sports and live event photography workflows where dozens of high-capacity CFexpress cards must be ingested, verified, and cleared between sessions with minimal idle time
• Digital imaging technician on-set data management stations consolidating card offload, checksum verification, and proxy generation into a single compact hub-based workstation
• Post-production facility ingest bays serving multiple editors simultaneously by feeding a shared NAS or SAN through a connected host workstation via the consolidated hub interface
• Mobile production units and outside broadcast vehicles requiring a rugged, compact multi-card ingest solution that operates reliably in space-constrained and thermally variable environments
