CES 2021: Kingston Digital Introduces Workflow Station With USB 3.2 and Readers

Kingston Digital, Inc., the flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., announced the Workflow Station and accompanying readers.

Aptly named, the dock enhances content creators’ post-production workflow.

The company‘s Workflow Station and readers give users the freedom to create and customize a file offload setup that fits their needs allowing them to transfer video, photos, and audio from multiple sources at once ⁽¹⁾. Whether on a 4K/8K multi-cam shoot with portable audio recorders or filming B-Roll with drones and GoPros, with the customizable Workflow Station Dock you can simultaneously connect the USB miniHub, SD or microSD readers that the shoot requires to transfer footage quickly. Workflow Readers can also be used standalone by connecting to a laptop via the included USB-C cable giving users the flexibility to have their workflow on-the-go.

“It’s not just the flexibility of the Workflow Station and its Readers that is sure to aid content creators, but also the speed,” said Carissa Blegen, product manager. “Workflow Station products support incredible USB 3.2 speeds, which together with Kingston’s high-performance memory cards and USB flash drives get users through the post-production process faster than ever.“
