KNOWN ISSUES:

- 4K HDMI input, to HD HDMI output there are lines in the display. Note HD-SDI output does not have this issue. Recording is unaffected.
- When using FS7 / FS700 4K -> 4K Apple ProRes or 4K -> 2K Apple ProRes, enabling color bars with PSF on causes vertical stretching of color bars.
- When using color bars, do not power up the unit with a video source connected as this can result in a black screen. Disconnect SDU or HDMI to remedy.
- Pixel Zoom in 2:1 does not reach the corners of the image in 16:9 or 17:9
- When applying certain LUTs Legal / Extended may need to be selected to match the camera / NLE.
- SSD Detection is longer than previous 5-10 seconds.
- Loading of SSD LUTS can take up to 30 seconds.
- Deletion of Custom LUT Folders not enabled at this time.
- Loading of any LUTs go to LUT User folders only.
- Image Analysis Tool Overlays are slower than previous firmware (Lines on the display).
- When PSF output is selected OLED display is interlaced.
- Occasionally when viewing or recording 4K/UHD to 2K/HD SuperSample, lines can appear on the OLED display. Recorded files as unaffected.
- IN FS700 4K Raw Burst mode (100p/120p), ten extra frames are recorded at the end of each clip. Occasionally the are bad frames. This will be corrected in future firmware from 450 frames to proper 440 frames.
- IN FS700 4K Raw Burst mode (100p/120p) -> 2K/HD Apple ProRes, the amount of frames that are recorded may vary based on trigger type and clip to clip. Note the Odyssey always records 420+ frames in this mode.
- Graticules for Image Analysis Tools are not currently displayed on the SDI / HDMI outputs.
- Occasionally on startup the firmware version number located under the Safe Eject button will report “2015”. Engage/disengage F1 Screen Lock to reset to display “15.05”.
- Deleting luts does not always work reliably, deleted luts can reappear after a power cycle. Workaround: resetting luts via the Odyssey->Reset menu does clear (delete) all custom luts.
- Anamorphic Desqueeze is not supported in Canon Half Raw at this time.
- 1D LUTs are not support, only 3D Luts.

About Video Recorder Adapters:

Applying a new firmware package on your Video Recorder adapter should improve overall performance and stability, fix various issues encountered with the device, or add support for newly developed features.

The Video Recorder adapter should be carefully upgraded by a power user (that is to say, someone who has the know-how to successfully complete the process), but it can also be performed by an average user at his or her own risk.

Either way, given the fact that each producer has their own method for installing a new firmware, and that every device has a particular way to enter the update mode, you must not consider upgrading the adapter’s software until you have read and thoroughly understood the installation steps.

As a rule, said steps shouldn’t pose too much of a challenge because manufacturers strive to make them as easy as possible. As with everything else, exceptions do occur, and users should be prepared for them.

Usually, you should transfer the compatible firmware to the Recorder through a USB cable or a memory card, and afterwards enter update mode from the unit’s setup menu or through a specific power-on method.

With this in mind, if you intend to apply this release, make sure the package is compatible with your Video Recorder and that it brings about the changes you want or require; hit the download button and apply the new firmware.

Don’t forget to regularly check with our website so that you don’t miss any updates.

  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.
