C100: Ninja2 10-bit 4:2:2 vs Odyssey7 8-bit 4:2:2

SDI from C300 does trigger Odyssey. C100 will too if you use an HDMI to SDI convertor. The flags are passed through.

Good to know thanks.

I feel like all things considered now it may be best to just get the Ninja2 and this guy: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ..._Electronics_V_LCD70MD_7_High_Brightness.html

I have this monitor. It is awesome and upgradable. Love it.

Only drawback is, it eats batteries quite fast. But again, lovely monitor

Don't forget the Odyssey has AWESOME peaking functions, scopes (no vectorscope for now), false-color, etc.
They did a good job on peaking. Atomos, not so much.

HOWEVER, for me, the reason for C100 is small, lean-machine with great images. So, start hanging huge accessories off of it, might as well go studio-sized unit.
Ninja seems to be hard to beat for the cost:benefit ratio.

Even though the screen is much larger, the Odyssey actualy weighs less than the Ninja.

Manufacturers specs are always difficult to compare, but from the specs listed:
Ninja 2 - 13oz. (no batteries or HD) and power draw of 3 watts (monitor) 6 watts (monitor/recorder)
Odessey 7 - 1.2 lbs., 18oz. and power draw of 8 watts (monitor) 9-15watts (mon/recorder)

So it all depends on what kind of battery you use to drive the device, and hard drive/s but it seems on paper that the Ninja 2 is lighter and smaller. So, if either manufacturer wishes to weigh in on actual figures and comparisons I'm sure the forum would benefit from the information.
