later. The HD HERO camera can also be plugged into any standard definition or HDT V that has RCA or
component (RGB) ports, allowing for high quality playback.
Windows System Requirements for Full HD 1080p and 720p 60 fps Playback:
• Microsoft Windows® XP (Service Pack 2 or later) or Vista
• 3.2 GHz Pentium 4 or faster

If you are having problems achieving smooth playback on your computer, the HD HERO camera can also
plug directly into any standard definition or HDTV that has RCA or component (RGB) ports. The HD HERO
camera itself provides very smooth playback directly on a TV and when using component (RGB) cables for
HD playback, the quality matches that of playing back on a computer.

The HD HERO camera is compatible with 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB capacity SD and SDHC cards.
While all speed cards work in the camera, GoPro recommends minimum Class 4 speed cards for reliability
when shooting HD video. GoPro’s own testing has shown improved reliability in high vibration activities with
name brand SD and SDHC cards.
To insert the SD card, slide the SD card into the SD card slot on the side of the camera with the SD card
label facing the front of the camera. The SD card will clic k into place once it is inserted past flush with the

additional housing back doors that allow the Bakpac to fit inside the housing, maintaining waterproof
performance.
