Convergent Design Odyssey7Q+ Recorder Firmware 2018.03.1719 Description

ODYSSEY/APOLLO FIRMWARE UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS:

To update firmware on an Odyssey or Apollo device, a Convergent Design SSD or a qualified 3rd party SSD must be used. Note that previously recorded files will not be playable on the unit once updated, so all files on the SSD and any other SSDs must be downloaded before updating.

1. ERASE & FORMAT the SSD on an Odyssey or Apollo.
2. Mount this SSD to a computer using an SSD adapter/reader to USB-3 or Thunderbolt.
3. Click DOWNLOAD NOW button on this page to download the Firmware Update to a folder on the computer. Do not download directly to the SSD. Convergent Design recommends a copy of the firmware update be maintained on the computer for possible future use.
4. On a Windows computer, unzip the download. Open the unzipped folder.
5. On a Mac, the download will automatically unzip. Open the folder.
6. Within the download folder, copy the }Odyssey_Update{ folder from your computer to the root director of the SSD. This may also be shown as a }CD_Update{ folder.
- Copy to the root directory; do NOT copy it into the }Clips{________Odyssey folder.
- Copy the complete }CD_Update{ folder; do NOT copy individual files within the folder.
- Copy only the }CD_Update{ folder, do NOT copy the entire contents of the folder download.
Note that the download’s other content includes useful software, instructions and manuals.
7. Dismount the SSD from the computer and insert into Odyssey or Apollo.
8. Power on Odyssey or Apollo.
- A notice will appear recommending the use of AC power as the firmware update can take up to 45 minutes to complete.
- There are CANCEL and OK buttons at the bottom of the OLED screen, but the update will proceed automatically after 30 seconds.
- During update a progress bar indicates how the update is proceeding, but in some cases the OLED screen will go black.
- If this should happen, the update is still in progress so the device should be allowed to continue for one hour, then power cycled (see below).
- Plugging a signal into SDI A IN will sometimes correct this issue.
9. When the progress bar reaches 100%, remove the SSD from the unit and power down.
10. Power on the unit. When it completes booting, insert the same SSD.
11. The Firmware Update notice will appear again. Press CANCEL.
12. ERASE & FORMAT the SSD.
NOTE: It is recommended that all users do a factory reset after the firmware update is complete.

About Camera Adapter Updates:

Updating to a different firmware version than the one already installed on the adapter can bring various changes such as improved performance and stability, add new features or enhance existing ones, but also various fixes for more or less recurrent issues.

Given the large variety of camera adapters and numerous methods for upgrading the device, it is highly recommended that you read and, above all, understand the installation steps before you consider applying the new firmware, even if you are a power user.

If you try to perform the update without knowing all the steps, you risk ending up with a broken device. However, what every upgrade needs is a compatible firmware to be transferred to the adapter (or to the camera) via either a USB cable or a suitable memory card.

That being said, if you consider applying this release and have made sure you're properly informed on the process of performing the upgrade successfully, hit the download button, and update your camera adapter.

Check with our website as often as possible in order to be up to date with the latest releases.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
