PREVIOUS KNOWN ISSUES

Audio
- SDI/HDMI outputs occasionally will not carry audio. Cycle Odyssey power to restore.
- SDI/HDMI audio occasionally will have a static pop when powering up.
- Audio occasionally will swap tracks when recording in DPX.
- Audio output (headphones) occasionally flips channels.

Monitor
- SDI/HDMI outputs have a pink line in image on Canon C500 2K 12-bit/10-bit video. Recording is unaffected.
- Switching between ARRIRAW 1.5G DL and 3G DL occasionally can make the image incorrect on the OLED screen. Disconnect & reconnect one of the SDI inputs to correct. Recording is unaffected.
- IO Industries RAW files do not send color balance metadata to the Odyssey7Q so images appear incorrect. Recorded metadata color balance is set to 5600K but is not baked in.

Play
- Very fast scrubbing can show bad colors. The image corrects after scrubbing completed.
- Multiple clip play is currently supported only in DPX and Apple ProRes 422(HQ).
- Scrubbing RAW or DPX files occasionally causes the image to pixelate. The image corrects after scrubbing completed.

- FS700 RAW files occasionally show vertical line on right edge of frame. Recording is unaffected.
- F700 4K RAW 50p files occasionally do not play back audio. Recording is unaffected.
- FS700 RAW 30p and 60p files occasionally play with jitter. De-select and re-select to correct. Recording is unaffected.

Record
- Audio at the last few frames of an Apple ProRes 422(HQ) file occasionally records static. Add two seconds of pre- and post-roll to shots to avoid.
- ARRIRAW 4:3 mode is currently unsupported.

About Digital Camera Updates:

Updating to a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your camera can improve the device’s overall performance and stability, resolve various issues, and add support for newly developed features or enhance existing ones.

On the other hand, downgrading the camera’s firmware can recover its functionality in the unlikely event the currently installed version is faulty or the device’s performance dropped after an upgrade. However, bear in mind that applying an earlier build might not always be possible.

It is recommended that changing the camera’s firmware be performed when the new release resolves an issue that your device has been encountering, or adds a new feature (or enhances an existing one) that could prove useful for you.

This process isn’t intended to be destructive, but still, it’s best to save all your personal data and configurations before applying a different firmware. Moreover, make sure that the battery is fully charged and don’t use the camera’s buttons while the installation is in progress.

When it comes to the update method, usually, you must copy the firmware file onto a compatible memory card, insert it into the camera, and browse from the menu to the device’s update section.

However, each device has various ways to enter the update mode and particular steps that should be taken for a successful upgrade, therefore make sure you read the product’s installation guide.

That being said, if you consider that this firmware improves your device in any way, then hit the download button and get the desired version; if not, check with our website as often as possible so that you don’t miss the update that will boost your camera’s performance. 

  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.
