The following are approximate maximum record time in minutes, based on recording two 512G SSDs
(1TB). Record times may vary slightly.
RAW RECORDING
Odyssey7Q and Odyssey7Q+ are capable of recording the RAW signal ouput from the FS7 or FS700
if the Sony FS Recording Option Upgrade license has been purchased through our website and the
license key has been entered in the unit.

APPLE PRORES RECORDING
Odyssey now supports recording Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), Apple ProRes 422 and Apple ProRes 422 (LT).
Files are saved in .MOV format.
The Sony FS700 Recording Option Upgrade is required for recording 4K to Apple ProRes.
The Sony FS700 outputs 4K as a RAW signal, which is processed and coverted by Odyssey.

FS700 CONFIGURATION
1. SET UP THE FS700 FOR RAW RECORDING
MENU » REC/OUT SET » REC SET » RAW SET
Select any of the following frames rates that you wish to record on the Odyssey:
NTSC
4096x2160/24p
4096x2160/30p
4096x2160/60p
2048x1080/24p
2048x1080/30p

4096x2160/25p
4096x2160/50p
2048x1080/25p
2048x1080/50p
Once the selection is made you will need to press EXEC on the camera, to return to live
record.
2. SET GAMMA (REQUIRED FOR RAW RECORDING)
PICTURE PROFILE » PP7 » SETTING » GAMMA » S-Log2
PP7 is the default prole for S-Log2, Note that only S-Log2 is supported when recording
RAW.
Once the camera is set to the desired frame rate, then connect to the Odyssey.
3. SET THE S&Q BUTTON FOR RAW HIGH SPEED
MENU » OTHERS » RAW S&Q BUTTON SET » 4K/2K SUPER SLOW
(BACK) » REC Command » ON
NOTE: In 4K Super Slow the camera only outputs a maximum of 4K 60p, thus this mode
will use internal buffering, and then will need to playback the footage to an Odyssey. In 4
Super Slow, the Odyssey Trigger must be set to Camera.
MENU » RECORD » TRIGGER » CAMERA
NOTE: For 2K up to 240fps sustained, or 4K up to 60p sustained, but 4K 100/120 3-4
second burst.

MENU » CAMERA SET » SLOW AND QUICK » RAW 2K SUPER SLOW » EXECUTE
Select your desired frame rate*:
NTSC 120
240
PAL 100
200
TIME SAVER TIP: A quicker way of doing this is once the S&Q is set to RAW HIGH
SPEED, you can press and hold the S&Q button, then once the RAW Super Slow frame
is highlighted, you can now switch from 120 to 240. (or 100 to 200 in record.)
ACCESS HIGH FRAME RATES
Press the S&Q button » Select 120fps or 240fps
The Odyssey also has the ability of recording the buffered 4K 100/120 p from the
FS700. If you wish to record this set the camera to 4K RAW, and enable S&Q. Then the
Odyssey will record 4K100/120, for up to a 4 second burst.
4K 100/120 burst is now supported in 4K to 2K/HD ProRes.
RAW 4K SUPER SLOW 120FPS AND 100 FPS
Start Trigger - > 440 Frames
End Trigger -> 440 Frames
End Half Trigger -> 220 Frames
Start Trigger Processes 440 frames from when RECord button is pressed.
End Trigger Sends a buffer of the 440 frames prior to hitting the REC button.
End Half Trigger sends a buffer of the 220 frames prior to hitting the REC button.
120fps is 3.7 seconds record time - (440 frames) - 60fps playback
100fps is 4.4 seconds - (440 frames) - 50fps playback
5. PAL: 25P, 50P, 100P AND 200P
MENU » OTHERS » 60i/50i SEL » YES
6. SETUP RECORD TRIGGER (FS700 REC BUTTON)
MENU » REC/OUT SET » VIDEO OUT » SDI/HDMI CONTROL » ON
7. DUAL RECORD: FS700 INTERNAL + ODYSSEY
MENU » REC/OUT SET » RAW REC CONTROL » RAW+HD
(BACK) » REC/OUT SET » HD SIMULTANEOUS REC » ON
Note: The clip name from the FS700 is not sent over the SDI to the Odyssey, thus if you
wish to use the internal media as an ofine, you will need to rename the internal media to
match the RAW les.

FS700 RAW SUPPORT (DNG SEQUENCES)
All FS700 RAW recording on the Odyssey is recorded as a 12-bit linear CinemaDNG le. With DNG les,
timecode and clip metadata is stored in every frame, as well as in the XML le within each clip. All audio
is recorded 48Hz 16 bit Uncompressed WAV audio.
It is important to correctly set the white balance of the camera, as this is baked into the RAW
le.

FS700 RAW: DEALING WITH RAW FILES
Note that FS700 RAW les are Linear, thus the les need a Gamma 2.2 correction in order to look correct.
You may notice when you rst import your les that they appear very dark before correction.
FS700 DAVINCI RESOLVE IMPORT SETTINGS
1. Right click on the le and select “Edit CinemaDNG Codec Settings”
2. Then under the CAMERA RAW select be sure CinemaDNG is selected from the drop
down menu.
3. Set the Decode using method to CinemaDNG Default* (Also be sure your project is
setup correctly)
4. Set the White Balance to As Shot
5. Set the Color Space to Rec709
6. Set the Gamma to Rec709
7. Leave Highlight Recovery off
8. Click Apply
The Media Pool Camera RAW settings are the same as the ones in the color page and these are designed
for individual clip adjustment so its better to rst set the ‘Project Settings’, ‘Camera RAW’ as you need for
the whole project.
Select ‘Project Settings’, ‘Camera RAW’, ‘CinemaDNG’ and make sure the ‘Decode using’ is set to either
‘CinemaDNG Default’ or “Camera Metadata’
POST PRODUCTION

POST PRODUCTION
The “Camera Metadata’ is the default and the best place to start if you need to change an individual clip
with camera RAW.
The Media Pool settings are helpful if you have a mix of different clip types, you can sort by codec, select
a group and adjust.
For your convenience, Convergent Design has generated several example LUTs that can be applied to
your RAW footage. Keep in mind these LUTs are an approximation, and may need adjustment depending
on your application.
These LUTs are available in the Firmware/Downloads section of the Convergent Design website.
*Also note that using camera metadata or CinemaDNG default is also supported.
TO LOAD 3D LUTS INTO DAVINCI RESOLVE
1. Select the Project Settings wheel, and navigate to Look Up Tables
2. Select Open LUT Folder, and copy the included example LUTs into this folder.
3. Now Select Update Lists
4. Now in the Media Browser you can right click on your RAW le and select 3D LUT and
select the LUT you wish to apply from the list.
Note the following about each CD example LUT, and you should adjust the LUT based on your
application.
FS700_1.11.100_SLOG.cube (Same LUT is recommended with firmware v2.10.141/3.10.100)
This LUT can be applied to view a simulated S-Log2 look based on the RAW recording with the S-Log2
picture prole, also note the image should closely match the internal media.
FS700 FCP X IMPORT SETTINGS
Once you have created a new project be sure to check the following Settings:
1. Under Final Cut Pro select Preferences
2. Be sure the Still Images editing duration is set to 0.0.1 Seconds
3. Select navigate to File and select Import Media
4. Navigate to the Clips directory, and select the Clip Folder contain your FS700 RAW les.
5. At this point you can start correcting the les to a 2.2 Gamma using the Color Board.
* Note if you are recording the internal media you can import the matching S-Log2 le, and
select Match Color for a close approximation of S-Log2, but will most likely need additional
tweaking.

WORKING WITH RECORDED FILES
There are numerous post systems and NLEs that can read natively the various le formats recorded by
the Odyssey. Some NLEs may require plug-ins in order to read certain le formats. Blackmagic Design
Resolve software is available for free and can read all formats recorded by the Odyssey.

UNCOMPRESSED SUPPORT (DPX SEQUENCE)
All Uncompressed recording on the Odyssey 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 camera’s the les are recorded as a 16 bit
DPX, for more universal compatibility. Also note that with DPX les timecode, and Clip Metadata is stored
in every frame, as well as in the XML le within each clip. All audio is recorded 48Hz 16 bit Uncompressed
WAV audio.
Also Note 1080p59.94/60p, 1080p119/120 and 12 bit les are recorded as Packed, so our CD unpacker
utility will need to be used before the les can be used in any editor.
