Tapping on this setting allows you to toggle the compression for the currently selected
codec.
Apple ProRes
Apple ProRes is built in to the NINJA V+ and offers three levels of compression (HQ,
422 & LT).
Avid DNx
Avid DNx requires free activation via my.atomos.com and includes DNxHD with four
levels of compression (220x, 220, 145, 36) and DNxHR for 4K/UHD inputs with four
levels of compression (HQX, HQ, SQ and LB). DNxHD 220x/DNxHR HQX are 10-bit,
