Convergent Design
has taken a giant leap over the competition with the introduction of four new features for the Odyssey 7Q and 7Q+ recorders that are not offered anywhere else.
- Dual 4k recording means that you only need one unit instaed of two to record from two different 4k cameras.
- Quad HD recording with the Apollo option. This also gives you a fantastic compact switcher at the same time. But, keep in mind, it also doubles the price.
- 4K @ 60fps. With the new 4K standard edging into 60fps this is a vital option.
- 6G-SDI Support. This again requires the Apollo option, but gives you the ability to monitor and record 6G-SDI signals from the Blackmagic Design
cameras. 6G-SDI connectivity means that a single SDI cable can carry up to 4K30p video from cameras such as the Blackmagic Design URSA,
URSA Mini 
and Micro Studio Camera 4Ki
. The Blackmagic Design 4K HDMI to SDI converter is also supported, so in conjunction with Apollo’s Dual-4K, two 4K HDMI cameras such as the Sony A7S can be recorded in Apple ProRes (HQ/422/LT) on a single device. There are two 6G-SDI inputs so two Blackmagic Design devices can be supported simultaneously. No other portable recorder has dual support for 6G-SDI.
Convergent Design
also still has a $500 price reduction going on and includes a 256GB SSD Media
with purchase.
