RECORDING TO SSD MEDIA
The SSDs will automatically Span from SSD1 to SSD2. This means that if a file is recording to SSD1 and
fills the available memory, the recording will continue uninterrupted on SSD2. The exception to this is
when recording in a high data rate mode that requires both SSDs to be recorded to simultaneously, such
as FS700 Record Option, 2K RAW @ 240fps. For more information on record times and SSD capacity,
see Record Time Capacities. A future free firmware update will also allow the option of simultaneous dual
recording, in which both SSDs record identical files for backup purposes.
LOSS OF POWER DURING A RECORD
You should never power off the camera while recording. Many camera’s including the ALEXA, disable
the user from doing so while recording. Included in the Odyssey is a recovery mechanism. In case of
power loss, you may lose the last few frames of the recording, but not the entire last take. You will receive
several error messages due to the loss of source. If the unit fails to close the last clip and return to normal
operation once the source has returned, you will need to remove the power from the unit, then re-power
the unit.
After any failure of this type, the device will automatically mark the SSDs as full, once power is restored to
the unit. You will need to offload the footage before you will be able to continue recording in order to help
ensure proper recovery of the previous recordings.
DOWNLOADING MEDIA
Always make sure to properly Safe Eject to dismount SSDs before removing from Odyssey.
While the Odyssey7Q drives are exclusive Convergent Design products, they utilize a standard 2.5” SATA
interface. No expensive proprietary download stations are required. Consumer card adapters such as
Seagate GoFlex adapters (see
Third Party Accessories
in this manual) are available with Thunderbolt or
USB 3.0 interface. Thunderbolt is fastest and USB 3.0 is most common and self-powering. Firewire 800
is not recommended as it will take a very long time to download files.
Convergent Design offers a USB 3.0 SSD Adapter (CD-SSD-USB3) through authorized dealers
and distributors. This device allows you to access files on the Convergent Design SSDs on any
computer with a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port. (Please note that USB 2.0 ports have much slower
data transfer rates.)
