UNCOMPRESSED SUPPORT (DPX SEQUENCE)

All Uncompressed recording on the Odyssey 7Q is recorded as 10 bit RGB 4:4:4 DPX. This

is for all sources regardless if the source is 8 bit, 10 bit, 4:2:2, 4:4:4. With 12 bit cameras, files

are recorded as a 16 bit DPX for more universal compatibility. Also note that with DPX files

timecode, and Clip Metadata is stored in every frame, as well as in the XML file within each clip.

All audio is recorded 48Hz 16 bit Uncompressed Wav audio.

Also Note 1080p59.94/60p, 1080p119/120 and 12 bit files are recorded as Packed, so our CD

Unpacker Utility will need to be used before the files can be used in any editor.

Generating a LUT and applying it as an input lut should help fix the issue. Here is how it can be

done:

1. Add a single DPX sequence to a new project and create a timeline

2. In the color page, go to the RGB Mixer and swap the red and blue channels

3. Right click on the VSR of the Clip and generate a LUT. Save the LUT in the default location

or in a sub folder then open the project with the DPX files that exhibit the issue. Apply the

saved LUT as an input LUT.

* If using Resolve 10 or older, or other NLE’s such as Adobe, Scratch Lab, or Autodesk Smoke,

then you can simply import the DPX files after running through the data unpacker.

Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)

The Odyssey7Q records in Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) which is a 10 bit 4:2:2 220Mb compressed

codec. This will allow for high quality recording while avoiding high data rates of working with

uncompressed video. (DPX)

To playback Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) files in QuickTime Player X, the files must be first run

through our Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) Utility to be optimized for the recently released Apple

ProRes 422 (HQ) Codec update. If files are not optimized, then they will play the first second of

audio only. This is not an issue when playing in FCPX.
