The SD Association has announced the creation of a new SD card, the Ultra High Speed (UHS) Class 3 (U3), which is now going to be fast enough to support 4K Ultra HD video footage, according to an official release. The new cards have been designed to support a wide array of 4K television and video products that are currently available in the market. The SD card in question will be fast enough to support a 30MB/s constant minimum write speed that will allow 4K content to be recorded on high-performance cameras. Explaining this, the release said, “A new Ultra High Speed (UHS) Speed Class 3 (U3) symbol will indicate products capable of recording 4K2K video and will operate exclusively on SDXC UHS-I and UHS-II memory cards and devices and SDHC UHS-I and UHS-II memory cards and devices.”

All new devices that can support the new UHS Speed Class 3 will also be backwards compatible and will work with existing SD memory cards. This should be good news, as 4K video capture, for the most part, has been limited to pro-level hardware. The date of release for the new SD card format has still not been announced, though.
Acer, with the recently announced Liquid S2, is one of the few companies currently providing a mobile device with 4K video recording capabilities. Samsung also recently announced that it would start rolling out 4K-display bearing smartphones by 2015. Thus, while it may take some time for users to their hands on U3-capable devices, the interest in the field is definitely increasing.
