VIDEO STANDARD
- This setting allows you to specify the incoming video source signal for the
next clip to be recorded as well as the next clip to played. It is highly recommended to leave it on
Auto-Detect
. If the user-selected signal choice does not match the actual incoming signal, video
WILL NOT be recorded properly and clips will not playback. Why worry, let us do the hard work!

CODEC
- sideKick HD is a multi-codec capable recorder. To select a codec for the next clip to be
recorded, scroll through the installed codecs in this list.This selection does not change the codec
for an already recorded clip.
sideKick HD ships with Apple's ProRes 422 codec. Other codecs are available, and since codecs are the
intellectual property of the writers who created them, individual license fees must be paid for each installed
use. Instead of charging everyone for all the codecs and raising the price of sideKick HD, Fast Forward
Video has made the additional codecs available for purchase on our website. This way you only pay for the
codecs you need for your specific workflow. See FIRMWARE UPGRADES in this manual or www.ffv.com for
the proper procedure.
