Recommended Sd Card - Pioneer HD-V9000 Technical Manual

8. Recommended SD card

We recommend using the following SD cards to ensure stability when playing
video on the HD-V9000 as well as for playing high bit-rate videos.
Type of Card:
Card MakerPanasonic, Toshiba, SanDisk
A Class 6 SDHC card is guaranteed to provide a 48 Mbps or faster transfer

rate, while a Class 10 guarantees at least 80 Mbps, so the actual transfer rate
(during play) will be even higher.
However, the value of the data transfer rate of the SD card is not always guaranteed as the video bit
rate of the content that this unit plays.
Therefore, when playing a 50 or 60 Mbps high bit-rate video on the HD-V9000, measure the transfer
rate of the actual SD card being used and confirm its real performance.
To ensure stable video play, use of an SD card with a relay rate capability more than twice the bit rate
of the video being played is recommended.
Example: When playing a 60 Mbps video file, try to use an SDHC card with an actual transfer rate of
about double that, or 120 Mbps.
The transfer speed of an SD card can be measured by the player or by the special HD PILOT support

software.
For details, refer to the User's Manual and/or the HD PILOT manual.
 • Before using an SD/SDHC card, first initialize it with HD PILOT.
During the initialization process, Video, Picture, Text and System folders are created automatically.
 If an error occurs when the SD card is connected to the PC via the card reader and the data in the card is
deleted and then new data is written to the card, initialize or format the card using HD Pilot or the
application provided by the card manufacturer.
 Before copying data from the HDD, etc. to the SD card, compare the data size to ensure that the data
will be copied reliably to the card.
