High Speed Apple ProRes recording Capture directly in Apple ProRes in 4K/UHD up to 60p and in HD up to an amazing 240p.
Note that no other device can record HD Apple ProRes at 240 frames per second – no camera, no standalone recorder, no computer capture card. And no other manufacturer has stated that it will have a device that ever will. The advanced processing power of the Odyssey7Q+ & Odyssey7Q and computing skills of the Convergent Design engineering team have set a new bar in video recording.
High Speed Apple ProRes will initially be offered for the Sony FS7 (with XDCA Extension Unit) and FS700. The Odyssey RAW Bundle is required to access the high frame rate data from these cameras. In free firmware updates, Convergent Design will add high frame rate support for more cameras with appropriate outputs.
Canon C300 MKII Support
With the Odyssey RAW Bundle, the Odyssey7Q+ and Odyssey7Q will be able to record 4K & QHD RAW from the upcoming Canon C300 MKII camera. Convergent Design is the only monitor/recorder company supporting the file naming from the Canon Cinema EOS RAW cameras.

NOTE: Updating firmware on an Odyssey monitor/recorder requires the use of an SSD. If an Odyssey monitor/recorder is currently running firmware version 5.10.100 (March 2015) or 2015.5 (May 2015) then a qualified Samsung SSD (see list above) as well as an Odyssey SSD can be used to perform the update. Samsung SSDs require the Convergent Design SSD Handle kit to mount in an Odyssey monitor/recorder. Odyssey monitor/recorders running earlier firmware versions must use an Odyssey SSD to perform the update.
