Apollo Mode
Multistream Quad-HD Monitoring
The Od supports monitoring of 1 to 4 HD video streams, using 4 SDI inputs (2x SDI In, 2x SDI IO). One input
may be HDMI, which will replace SDI A automatically.
When monitoring, the four HD streams resolutions and frame rates do not need to match. The paid upgrade to the
Apollo Option is not required for monitoring.
The four HD video inputs can each be viewed full screen or all viewed at once in a Quad-Split display. On the Lower
Toolbar starting at the left, five buttons allow the selection of QUAD, A, B, C, or D views. The selected view is sent to
the OLED screen as well as the HDMI output and two SDI outputs.
To activate the QUAD-HD Monitoring mode, select it in the RECORD Status button menu.

Apollo Mode Recording
Apollo modes allow monitoring and recording of multiple 4K or HD video signals simultaneously. Apollo Dual-4K
enables the monitoring and recording of up to two 4K/UHD video signals simultaneously. Apollo Quad-HD enables the
monitoring and recording of up to four HD video signals simultaneously. In Quad-HD, a fifth HD recording of a Quad-
Split view of the four inputs or a Live-Switch between them is also available. Recordings are in Apple ProRes HQ, 422,
or LT.
In Apollo Quad-HD, the device can also function as a four-channel live switcher while simultaneously recording the
four isolated HD video signals. Both the Quad-View and the Live-Switch are available as live video outputs.
Apollo Mode requires the Apollo Option for Odyssey, a paid upgrade available for purchase or rental on the Convergent
Design website. A demo-only version of the Apollo Option is available on the Od and Odyssey7Q for testing
purposes.
To activate the Apollo mode, select APOLLO in the RECORD Status button menu.

SUGGESTED USE
Apollo may be used for interviews, surveillance, analysis or other events where multiple camera angles are captured
simultaneously. Before editing, recorded files can be viewed on Apollo and markers applied to note moments of
interest. For an overview of the recorded files, the Quad-Split view can be recorded as a fifth track, and then this track
monitored while reviewing the file.
Apollo Dual-4K
Apollo Dual-4K mode enables monitoring and recording of up to two 4K or UHD video inputs simultaneously.
Resolutions and frame rates must match when recording. Supported frame rates are:
Single video signal:
4K or UHD at 23.98p, 24p, 25p, 29.97p, 30p, 50p, 59.94p, and 60p
Dual video signals:
4K or UHD at 23,98p, 24p, 25p, 29,97p, 30p
Dual-4K Inputs
On Apollo and the Od, there are several ways that a 4K or UHD video signal can be input. The HDMI input
accept DCI 4K (4096x2160) up to 24p or UHD (3840x2160) up to 30p. 6G-SDI for frame rates up to 30p is available on
SDI A and SDI B inputs. Dual-Link 3G-SDI for frame rates up to 30p is available by pairing SDI A/SDI B and SDI C/SDI D
inputs. Quad-Link 3G-SDI for frame rates up to 60p is available by using all four SDI inputs (A/B/C/D).
