Odyssey7Q+

Convergent Design announced that their Solid State Drives in 256GB, 512GB and 1TB capacities for their popular 4K Raw recorder/monitor Odyssey7Q+ and their portable video switcher Apollo are now guaranteed for 10 years. This is particularly exciting for video professionals as now they can rest assured their Odyssye7Q+s and Apollos are even more bulletproof than ever before.

At BVE 2016 we had a chance to check out the latest product release from Convergent Design - the Apollo multicamera recorder/switcher, which can record up to 4 Full HD streams from 4 cameras and record into industry standard 10bit Apple ProRes codec on SSD drives for a quick turnaround. The Apollo can also be used as a video switcher for live events saving you a lot of money and eliminating the need for large and bulky pieces of equipment.

Earlier today, Convergent Design announced their flagship Odyssey7Q+ 4K RAW Recorder will support the Raw output on the new Panasonic Varicam LT. This is great news for cinematographers and productions requiring the highest level of digital cinema imagery for VFX and heavy colour grading work. The Varicam LT Raw will be included in the Odyssey7Q+ Raw bundle available to purchase directly from Convergent Design. Here at Visual Impact we can supply the Odyssey7Q+ 4K Raw Recorder, required media and accessories.

Colorado based Convergent Design just upgraded their powerful 4K recorders Odyssey7Q and 7Q+ with some impressive new features and recording functionality including the highest quality ProRes 4444 XQ.

Rise and Shine Films caught up with Mitch Gross from Convergent Design at IBC 2015 to discuss the current status of their flagship recorder/monitor and their future plans for the new Sony FS5 camera.
