FFV SideKick HD Takes Video Straight to Edit Fast Forward Video has unveiled the SideKick HD multi-format, straight-to-edit, camera-mountable digital-video recorder. Designed to streamline production workflows, the SideKick HD enables customers to get the most out of their camcorders without compromising quality. “With the SideKick HD, camera-toediting workflows have never been more streamlined,” says Paul DeKeyser, founder

9th International Trade Fair for Cine Equipment and Technology Munich M,O,C, 22 – 24 September 2012 www.cinec.de

of FFV. “Instead of using the camera’s onboard recording device, users can capture video directly from any HD/SDI or HDMI output and choose the final postproduction codec without any additional transcoding, saving valuable time and removing steps that could degrade image quality.” The SideKick HD offers extremely high image quality in a camera-mountable recording solution, with the ability to record at 220 megabits per second at only 7:1 compression. The DVR attaches to any HD camcorder or HDSLR using a standard ¼-20 mount. The system records to off-the-shelf, hot-swappable 2.5" SSD drives in native ProRes (for Apple Final Cut Pro) or DNxHD (for Avid) N LE formats. Bringing files into the NLE environment is a simple matter of moving the disk from the SideKick HD to the computer; no time-consuming ingest or transcoding operations are required. Additionally, a 4.3" on-board confidence monitor offers playback options including scrub and jog capabilities. To simplify power management, the extremely lightweight SideKick HD is powered from the camera’s battery. FFV offers power cables for direct connection to Anton-Bauer and IDX camera batteries, as well as approved OEM-compatible batteries with a DC output for Sony, Panasonic, Canon and JVC camcorders. In addition, FFV offers a battery-pack option that extends the full power of the SideKick HD to users of smaller cameras that are not equipped with full-sized batteries. On remote-location shoots, these users now have the ability to unplug a discharged battery and replace it with a fully charged one without interrupting a SideKick HD recording session.
