Glyph Capture+ CFexpress 4.0 Cards & Reader Now Available at Motion Media
POSTED 16th OF Apr, 2026, Posted by Summer Magdaraog
Modern production workflows are hitting a wall and it’s no longer your camera.
As resolutions move into 6K, 8K, and RAW formats, the real bottleneck has shifted to media performance and data transfer speeds. Long offload times, thermal throttling, and inconsistent write speeds can slow down even the most advanced setups.
At Motion Media, we focus on tools that remove these bottlenecks. The latest release from Glyph is designed to do exactly that.
Introducing the Glyph Capture+ CFexpress Type B 4.0 and Capture+ CFexpress 4.0 Reader, a complete system engineered for end-to-end high-performance workflows.
Why CFexpress 4.0 Matters for Modern Workflows
CFexpress 4.0 isn’t just about faster recording, it's about eliminating delays across your entire workflow.
With PCIe Gen4 technology, CFexpress 4.0 enables:
- Faster ingestion of large media files
- Higher sustained write speeds for demanding codecs
- Reduced downtime between shooting and editing
The key shift:
Most professionals no longer lose time during capture; they lose it during data transfer and post-production.
A Complete Workflow System (Not Just a Memory Card)
The Capture+ ecosystem is designed as a fully optimized pipeline, not a standalone product.
It includes:
- CFexpress Type B 4.0 memory card
- High-speed USB4 reader
- Optimized connectivity for stable throughput
Why this matters
Even high-end setups often underperform due to:
- Slow card readers
- Inconsistent cables
- Thermal limitations
This system removes those weak links, ensuring consistent high-speed performance from capture to edit.
Performance Breakdown: What You Actually Get
Capture+ CFexpress Type B 4.0 Card
- Up to 3700 MB/s read speed
- Up to 3500 MB/s write speed
- Up to 3000 MB/s sustained write speed
Why sustained speed is critical
Sustained write speed determines whether your system can:
- Record long takes without dropped frames
- Handle high-bitrate formats like RAW and ProRes
- Maintain stability during extended shoots
This is essential for professional production environments where reliability is non-negotiable.
Capture+ CFexpress 4.0 Reader
- Up to 5000 MB/s transfer speed
- USB4 (40Gb/s) interface
Real-world impact
- Transfer large footage batches in minutes
- Reduce ingest bottlenecks
- Fully utilize your card’s performance
Without a high-speed reader, even the fastest cards are limited.
Thermal Stability: The Hidden Performance Factor
High-speed storage generates heat especially at CFexpress 4.0 speeds.
Many cards deliver strong initial performance but slow down under sustained workloads due to thermal throttling.
The Capture+ system is engineered for:
- Consistent throughput under load
- Reduced performance drops during long sessions
Why this matters
Thermal instability can lead to:
- Slower transfers mid-process
- Recording interruptions
- Workflow inconsistencies
With proper thermal management, performance stays stable when it matters most.
Data Protection & Reliability
Speed alone isn’t enough for professional workflows; data integrity is critical.
The Capture+ system includes:
- Power-loss protection to preserve buffered data
- Safeguards against sudden interruption or ejection
- Resistance to shock, vibration, dust, and X-ray exposure
Practical benefit
These features reduce risk in:
- On-location shoots
- Travel-heavy production
- High-value client work
Capacity Options & Compatibility
Available Capacities
- 256GB
- 512GB
- 1TB
- 2TB
- 4TB
Compatibility
- Works with CFexpress Type B devices
- Backward compatible with CFexpress 2.0
- Compatible with USB 3.2 systems (at lower speeds)
Key insight
Even if your camera doesn’t fully utilize CFexpress 4.0 speeds, your post-production workflow will benefit immediately.
Who This Is For
Filmmakers & Cinematographers
- Shooting high-resolution or high-bitrate formats
- Need consistent recording performance
- Working under tight production timelines
Professional Photographers
- Shooting high bursts or large RAW files
- Need fast turnaround for delivery
Editors & Post-Production Teams
- Handling large volumes of media
- Looking to reduce ingest and backup times
Where Capture+ Makes the Biggest Impact
On-Set Recording
- Reliable sustained performance
- Reduced risk of dropped frames
Data Offloading
- Significantly faster transfers
- Less waiting between shoots
Post-Production
- Faster ingest into editing systems
- More efficient overall workflow
Capture+ vs Standard CFexpress Cards
Compared to typical CFexpress solutions, the Capture+ system offers:
- Higher sustained write performance
- Better thermal stability under load
- Optimized ecosystem (card + reader + connectivity)
This results in more consistent real-world performance, not just higher peak numbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CFexpress 4.0 worth upgrading to?
Yes, especially if your workflow involves large files and frequent transfers. The biggest gains come from faster offloading and improved post-production efficiency.
Do I need the CFexpress 4.0 reader?
Yes. Without a compatible high-speed reader, you won’t achieve the maximum transfer speeds the card is capable of.
Is this compatible with my current camera?
If your camera supports CFexpress Type B, the card will work. Performance will depend on your camera’s supported interface.
Final Take: Is It Worth It?
If your workflow involves:
- High-resolution video
- Large data transfers
- Time-sensitive production
Then this isn’t just a storage upgrade it’s a workflow upgrade.
The Glyph Capture+ CFexpress Type B 4.0 system is designed to remove bottlenecks across capture, transfer, and post-production where professionals lose the most time today.
