Micron HD Manual, Fast Forward Video, Inc

Post Production

Please note the Micron HD produces a MOV fi le that is compatible with a MAC or PC 
used in conjunction with QuickTime supported programs. Please note that this fi le 
format is not available in BVW-75 mode, which needs to be set up when an external 
device is used to control the unit.

Another option is to ingest the video footage directly into any non-supported MOV 
programs. We recommend ingesting the footage uncompressed to get the maximum 
image quality.
