VIDEO CADENCE:
This identifies the cycling of the signal coming into the Odyssey7Q and how it is to be
recorded.
AVAILABLE CADENCES:
PROGRESSIVE/PSF:
For video signals structured as True Progressive (p) or
Progressive Segmented Frames (PSF).
INTERLACED:
For HD video signals structured as interlaced fields (i). Records a
1080i60 video signal without alteration. Note that some cameras carry progressive
video embedded within an interlaced signal. See 3:2 Pulldown below.
REMOVE 3:2 PULLDOWN (TO 24P):
For 24p video signals striped within a 60i signal.
Extracts the 24p video, records it as 1080p24 and discards the excess fields for greater
efficiency and smoother post.
TIMECODE SOURCE:
Allows selection for origination of timecode. Note that some video sources do not carry
timecode data and at high frame rates some cameras do not generate timecode. In these
cases the Odyssey7Q will generate a Record Run timecode from its internal clock. LTC
not supported when recording ARRIRAW.
AVAILABLE TIMECODE SOURCES:
SDI/HDMI
(embedded in incoming signal)
LTC
(input from external source to LTC port)
TIME-OF-DAY NDF
(Odyssey7Q internal clock, non-drop frame counting)
TIME-OF-DAY DF
(Odyssey7Q internal clock, drop frame counting)
SEED/RECORD RUN
(Set timecode counter, increments while recording)
AUDIO CHANNELS:
Currently locked to two channels. Future firmware updates will allow up to eight audio
channels.
AUDIO SOURCE:
Allows selection of audio input source.
AVAILABLE AUDIO SOURCES:
SDI/HDMI
(embedded in incoming signal)
ANALOG
(analog 2-channel input via AUD IN port) - Currently available only for HD
ProRes recording.
RECORD TRIGGER:
Allows selection of record trigger mechanism for Odyssey7Q. Note that some cameras do
not output trigger signals over SDI or HDMI.
AVAILABLE RECORD TRIGGERS
RECORD BUTTON
(Tap Record Button on Upper Toolbar to start/stop recording)
CAMERA
(Use camera’s trigger to stop/start recording -- trigger output must be
enabled on camera)
TIMECODE
(Use detection of timecode incrementing to start/stop recording --
Odyssey7Q TIMECODE must be set to SDI/HDMI or LTC and timecode source set to
Record Run)
