Fast Forward Video sideKick HD - camera-mountable DVR

Introducing sideKick HD - a camera-mountable DVR that supports a ProRes straight to edit workflow.

At NAB, Fast Forward Video (FFV) will debut the sideKick HD, a multiformat, straight-to-edit camera-mountable DVR. The sideKick HD captures video directly from HD/SDI or HDMI outputs at bit rates up to 220 Mbit/s, with 4:2:2 sampling and 10-bit resolution in multiple codecs starting with ProRes on removable 2.5-inch SSD drives. Recording directly to high-quality NLE formats eliminates time-consuming transcoding, which can degrade image quality. The sideKick HD also provides a 4.3-inch on-board confidence monitor, which offers playback options including scrub and jog capabilities.
