Next Odyssey 7q/7q+ update

Waiting soo long, even registered for: DnxHD

Waiting soo long, even registered for: DnxHD

That would be the most important update! It was why i bought the 7Q and now more than 1 1/2year passed. I'm very happy with all the updates and stuff you offer since then, nice things, but the main reason buying the 7Q was to be able record directly in DnxHD. Now even another recorder came out, months later, and new player appeared directly with DnxHD and it makes me feel a bit mad about. Great product, really happy, but please. We were thinking that we could stopp converting all the material in DnxHD in future, but nothing happend untill today. :( :( Bring 4K later, but please bring DnxHD. Thaaaaank you!

DNxHD was a deciding factor for me as well. Hopefully soon!!
 
The Apollo release said that DNxHD functionality would be added in 1Q 2016, so I'd think it would be safe to assume that it probably when the Odyssey will get it as well.

It's the end of October, is the September update going to become the November update?

Since Convergent Design only releases firmware updates on Mondays & Tuesdays, and next week is Thanksgiving week....
Is the September update now becoming the December update?

"We intended to release our Dual Stream Option in early November.
However, we had an issue that we felt was important to resolve, thus, we expect this to be released in December."

I was under the impression that this update would be the one with DNxHD. I'm not buying until that actually happens.
 
This was the second post in this thread by Mitch.

"It is going to include Dual-Stream Monitoring and Recording. It will also include some other things but we're not announcing that quite yet. We expect this one to be in the September-October timeframe.

Dual-Stream Monitoring
Dual-Monitoring will be included for free in the next firmware update.

Dual-Stream Monitoring allows one to view two HD signals at the same time while recording one of them in Apple ProRes. The images can be viewed as Picture-in-Picture, Side-by-Side, or Top-Bottom. In PiP, tap the smaller image to swap them. One can also select to just view one or the other image full screen. Dual-Stream Monitoring can be used to monitor a B-camera while operating the A-camera. Additionally, many cameras offer multiple outputs, one "clean" video and one with viewfinder information overlays. The Odyssey7Q+ can be set to record the clean version while the OLED displays the viewfinder version for operating.

Dual-Stream Monitoring works with any mix of HD video signals, but no 4K, no RAW.


Dual-Stream Recording
Dual-Stream Recording will be included as part of the Odyssey RAW Bundle in the next firmware update. This is a change to the NAB announcement for Dual-Stream Recording that listed it as a separate $995 option.

Dual-Stream Recording allows simultaneous recording of two HD video signals, no 4K, no RAW. These signals must match (i.e. 1080p29.97). The two signals can be displayed the same ways as in Dual-Stream Monitoring. "​



Hi Mitch,

Jim from CD has told me that this information on the website and in the e-mail campaigns is not correct now. Dual-Stream Recording is a part of the Apollo option only. I'm a bit confused now.
I need just the Dual-Stream Recording, not the Multi-Stream. As I have a Sony FS option for my Odyssey7Q, I could buy the RAW Bundle for 200USD. Can I use the Dual-Stream Recording with the RAW Bundle? Who's right?

Thank You!

Best Regards,
Peter Molnar

Jim is wrong and I will explain it to him. The website and my earlier post still stand. Dual-Stream Recording stands separate from the Apollo Option. That said, Dual-Stream Recording is not yet available.

That's great news!
Thanks Mitch!

I would like to record two identical 10bit HD SDI signal coming from a Panasonic 3D camera (left-eye and right-eye separate). I believe with the upcoming firmware upgrade (with Dual-Stream Recording) this is possible and the result will be way batter than internal recording.

What's on with DNxHD? Or will we get DNxHR? I should spread some rumors i guess... I might have heared DNxHR will be showing up in mid of June 2016... for O7Q and O7Q+. I can't wait for it to happen :)

Yes, you will be able to do this, but we don't do any 3G effects such as MUXing.
