What is Video Performance Guarantee (VPG)?
The Video Performance Guarantee (VPG) is a standard established by the CompactFlash Association to ensure that memory cards can handle the high data rates required for video recording. Specifically, VPG guarantees a minimum sustained write speed necessary for recording high-quality video without dropping frames. This is crucial for professionals and videographers who rely on uninterrupted, high-resolution video capture.
The VPG classes marked by the logos on the card (e.g., VPG200, VPG400) indicate the minimum number of megabytes per second (MB/s) that the card can write continuously. Higher VPG ratings are indicative of better performance enabling more demanding video formats like 4K as well as allowing high-frame-rate recordings to be captured reliably. This standard helps consumers select the appropriate memory card for their specific video recording needs ensuring compatibility and performance.
CFA-Certified Media Cards that Support VPG Profiles
The following products from CFA Members are certified by CFA to support VPG classes VPG200 and VPG400. For a card to support VPG, the card must pass the VPG certification test by CFA. These cards will have the VPG certification logos – the clapboard logos with either 200 or 400 designators – on their labels. End users requiring VPG Profiles should choose media cards from this list. This list will be updated in real-time as new products are introduced.
