LOSS OF POWER DURING A RECORD
You should never power off the camera while recording. Many cameras, such as 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 SSD 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.
FILE STORAGE
The Odyssey SSDs support read rates of 500 Mbytes/sec. Keep in mind you will be limited by the slowest
median in the transfer process. For example: eSATA 3GBps interface cards have a max performance of
~270Mbps, and eSATA 1.5GBps have a max performance of ~130Mbps. Typical Hard Drives (non-RAID)
generally perform anywhere in the range of 80-130MbpsFor maximum performance, make sure you are
using eSATA 6 GBps, USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt to a RAID configuration.

DOWNLOADING MEDIA
Always make sure to properly Safe Eject to dismount SSDs before removing from Odyssey7.
While the Odyssey SSDs 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.)
