Convergent Design Odyssey7Q Recorder Firmware 2.10.141 Description

New Features:

Advanced Playback Controls for All Formats
- This is a complete revamp of the Playback system. Standard deck-style controls for Play/Pause, single-frame step forward or step-back, and skip forward or back to next/pervious clip.
- Additionally, an interactive scrub bar allows the user to quickly access any section of a clip simply by dragging a finger across the OLED touchscreen. All recordable formats are supported and more detailed information is noted in the Play List.
- Playback Controls: Clip Preview (First frame of clip), Playback Scrubbing, Pause, Next Clip / Previous Clip, Fast Forward / Rewind

Expanded HD Format Support in Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
- In addition to 1080p video, the Odyssey7 and Odyssey7Q now support 1080i and 720p signals, as well as 24p signals embedded within 1080i video streams using “3:2 Pulldown”. Additionally, upon selecting 3:2 PULLDOWN, the Odyssey7 and Odyssey7Q will remove the excess material and record a pure 1080p23.98 video stream for more efficient storage and ease of post.
- Added Formats: 1080i 59.94, 1080i 50, 1080i (23.98p over 59.94i) (3:2 Pulldown Support with removal), 720p 59.94, 720p 50

Monitoring LUTs for HD Video
- Monitoring LUTs for the LOG outputs from several popular cameras are now supported in HD video recording in both Apple ProRes 422(HQ) and Uncompressed DPX (Odyssey7Q only). All monitoring LUTs conform selected LOG signals to REC709. Monitoring LUTs are applied to the OLED screen, video outputs and Image Analysis tools, but not to the recorded files.
- Supported LOG Formats: ARRI Log-C, Canon C-Log, Sony F3 S-Log, Sony F5 / F55 S-Log2, Sony F5 / F55 S-Log3, Sony FS700 S-Log2

Waveform Opacity
- Opacity is now selectable when using the Waveform. The background of the waveform can be either translucent as in previous firmware, or selected to be solid black so that the waveform display can be more clearly seen.

Image Analysis Tools Resets
- Menu page resets are now available in the settings for False Color, Focus Assist and OLED menus.

Odyssey Utility Drive Functionality

Timecode Triggering

New Features, RECORD OPTIONS (ODYSSEY7Q ONLY)

Sony FS700 4K RAW 100p/120p Super SloMo
- Record 100fps or 120fps in 4K RAW in a 440 frame burst using the camera’s internal memory buffer. Triggering is set on the camera at either the start of the memory buffer (capture the 440 frames after trigger is pressed) or at the end of the buffer (capture the 440 frames that occurred before the trigger is pressed). Selecting End Half Trigger captures the 220 frames prior to the trigger being pressed. Note triggering must be from FS700 in this mode.
- 440 frames equals 3.7 seconds of real time at 120fps and 4.4 seconds at 100fps. 440 frame played back at 24fps lasts more than 18 seconds. Transfer output speed from camera to Odyssey7Q is at 60fps (120fps material) or 50fps (100fps material).

ARRIAW & Canon 4K RAW Record Option Rentals Now Available

- Rentals are based on a 24hr period. Rentals can be added in any 24hr increment to a maximum of 31 days for one rental.
- A rental commences the first time a record is performed in the rental codec. This starts the 24-hour clock.
- Note that once a 24hr rental period commences the Odyssey7Q’s clock cannot be adjusted.
- After 24hrs the clock may be adjusted. When the next record is performed the next 24hr rental commences, locking out changes to the clock.
- Once a rental is input into a unit, there is no way of retrieving or transferring to another unit.
- Rentals are unit specific, and must be performed via our website.
- To activate a rental, enter the 8-character key into the Odyssey7Q’s activation section in the menu.
- To check the status of a rental tap the Record Status box in the Upper Tool Bar.
- When the total rental period gets down to 2 days the rental info in the Record Status box will change to yellow.
- When the total rental period drops below 24hrs the remaining rental time will display in the form of minutes in the Record Status box and will flash for the final hour.
- the total rental period drops below one minute and a recording is already in progress, that entire clip will be recorded without a watermark regardless of length up to a maximum of 80 mins. This will allow a final shot to be completed, after which the time remaining indicator will change to zero minutes in white text.
- Note that rentals can be performed on an Odyssey7Q for which a full purchased Record Option has been purchased and activated, but then deactivated by the owner. This allows owners to rent out an Odyssey7Q without a Record Option included and then charge separately for the rental of the Record Option.
- Added Support for ARRIRAW 1.5 DL and 3G DL 23.98-60p
