Teledyne LeCroy Unveils CompactFlash® Video Performance Guarantee Test Appliance

OakGate DCF200-G5 VPG Ensures Compact Flash Drive Performance for Uninterrupted, High-Resolution Video Capture

LOOMIS, Calif., April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Teledyne LeCroy, a global leader in protocol test and measurement solutions, has started taking orders for their OakGate DCF200-G5 CFA™ Video Performance Guarantee Test Appliance. This innovative solution tests CFexpress® Type A and B media cards, verifying their compliance to the Video Performance Guarantee (VPG) specification created by the CompactFlash Association (CFA).

VPG Meets the Demands of Video Professionals
Modern video cameras capture footage by sending data through their internal data bus, processing data with the image processor and internal memory, and then writing it onto the media card (Flash Memory). With the increase in video resolution, frame rate, and dynamic range, these cameras require the support of an extremely high quantity of sustained write operations. The Video Performance Guarantee (VPG) standard, established by CFA, ensures media cards can handle these high data rates. It also checks that these media cards support the minimum sustained write speeds necessary for recording high-quality video without dropping frames, which is important to professionals and other videographers. VPG performance validation testing is one of the primary tests that CFexpress devices must pass to ensure support for high-performance video recording and to enable advanced recording modes on some cameras.

OakGate VPG Solution Ensures Reliable Performance
Designed in collaboration with the CFA and built on Teledyne LeCroy's industry-leading solid-state drive (SSD) test and validation architecture, the OakGate DCF200-G5 ensures maximum video performance and functionality. "CompactFlash Association has collaborated with Teledyne LeCroy to offer an advanced validation solution for its new Video Performance Guarantee Profile 5 (VPG-5) standard. The new test appliance from Teledyne LeCroy will accelerate time-to-market for our member companies with its unique combination of compliance validation and debug capabilities," said Hiro Ino, President of the CompactFlash Association. "Teledyne LeCroy's new OakGate DCF200-G5 VPG Test Appliance brings new capabilities to guarantee our members' compliance to VPG-5 which, in turn, ensures the imaging industry with a reliable high-performance solution further broadening the adoption of CFexpress."
