AMSTERDAM (IBC Stand 12.H39) — September 11, 2026 — Wise Advanced (Wise) today announced the launch of its CFexpress 4.0 Type B MK-IV series. This new lineup introduces a specialized dual VPG certification, designed to be backwards compatible with current camera systems and ready for next-generation cinema cameras.
Universal Compatibility with Dual VPG Certification
Professional production studios often manage a diverse fleet of cameras. While higher VPG certifications represent peak performance, they do not inherently guarantee compatibility with systems designed around earlier standards.
To ensure a seamless workflow, the Wise Type B MK-IV series is strategically engineered with dual certifications (VPG400 & VPG800 for 512GB; VPG400 & VPG1600 for 1TB, 2TB, 4TB). This comprehensive approach provides total reliability across both legacy and next-generation systems, allowing production teams to utilize a single, unified media solution covering all systems.
Advanced Thermal Architecture for High-Bitrate Recording
The Type B MK-IV series is built for the punishing demands of continuous 8K and 12K RAW cinematography. Standard CFexpress 4.0 cards often push chips to their limits, generating intense heat that can lead to dropped frames. To eliminate this risk, Wise has pioneered the integration of a breakthrough low-power chip architecture.
By re-engineering internal processing efficiency, this advanced chip reduces power consumption and heat generation by nearly 45% compared to conventional PCIe Gen4 media. This massive thermal headroom effectively eliminates the threat of thermal throttling during extended recordings, delivering total peace of mind for professionals filming long, critical one-take shots.
“The Type B MK-IV series is our definitive work for the CFexpress 4.0 generation,” stated Product Manager Czardas W. “By securing dual VPG certification and integrating an advanced low-power chip, we’ve addressed the two most significant hurdles for professionals — hardware compatibility and thermal management. Production time is too critical to worry about memory media.”
Experience at IBC 2026 & Availability
Attendees of IBC 2026 can visit the Wise Advanced booth (Stand 12.H39 at RAI Amsterdam) from September 11–14 to experience live workflow demonstrations of the CFexpress 4.0 Type B MK-IV series with next-gen cinema systems.
Wise CFX4-B MK-IV memory cards are expected to be available through authorized global retailers starting in early October 2026.
