The Titan HD Extract option allows you to take one camera to a shoot and obtain three separate recordings (plus a live switch between the three images). This feature can add a multi-cam look to single-camera shoots without the expense of multiple cameras or recorders. One view is an HD downscale/super-sample of the full image area, and two views are windows selected from the full image area. These views can be panned smoothly through the 4K field, and the three views can be Live-Switched. All four HD views (The master/wide, the two windowed views, and the live-swtiched/program) can be recorded simultaneously in Apple ProRes with matching timecode and file names.

The following features have been added to the Odyssey 7Q+ with the release of firmware update 2016.1:

SDI inputs now support 6G-SDI in addition to 3G-SDI.

4K@60 can be recorded to Apple ProRes 422.

The Odyssey now supports 4K@30 from Blackmagic Design cameras.

Record 4:4:4 2K and HD video signals in 10- & 12-bit Apple ProRes 4444 or 4444(XQ). This supports many cameras, including Sony F3/F5/F23/F35/F55, Canon C300 Mark II/C500, Panasonic HPX3100, and more. (The HD or 2K input stream must be video, not raw, to use the Apple ProRes 4444 modes at this time.)

Spot Meter - advanced monitoring tool - comprehensive exposure meter

Additional & improved Preset LUTs

New and improved LUTs for Canon C-Log, C-Log2, and Panasonic V-Log

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this be used with a Canon C100 or C300?

A: The 7Q+ has HDMI thus is can be used with the C100, C100 Mark II and the C300. However, since the 7Q+ is capable of 4K and those cameras do not do that, you might consider a more affordable alternative such as the 7Q.

Q: 2. does this have HDR?

A: Not as far as I am aware. HDR is not related to recording - it is related to the monitor being able to present a very wide range of exposures. From 1000 NITS and higher. Monitors that can present HDR are very expensive at the moment.

It will be made available in our upcoming firmware update. With the addition of the Apollo Option, you can view and record up to four HD video signals. This is known as Quad-HD Recording.

[1x Barrel Input] This is my second monitor, due to an accident damaging the other. I tried out the atomos shogun 7, but half the features aren't enabled yet (which they don't tell you), and overall, it just isn't as powerful, quiet, and energy efficient as the Odyssey 7Q. I've been using the 7Q for 5 years now paired with an FS700, and it's just a dream. The monitor itself is so crisp, nailing focus is cake. The processed files are a joy to grade (mainly using proress hq), and the unlimited LUT storage is great. So many positives with this unit. 10/10 bought again. 5

[OLED] I bought this recorder with the RAW bundle pack for my FS700. After reading online for weeks, I couldnt find any new articles or instructions (being my camera is an older model) and I wanted it set-up correctly at the best quality obtainable. One email to Convergent Design and the Director of Sales and Marketing, Dan, responded and called me the next day. Mind you it was a Saturday. He took time out of his weekend to explain to me exactly what I could do with this recorder and my FS700, plus all of the capabilities. After using the knowledge he gave me I shot a project with this set-up and its a GAME CHANGER. I can tell you with 100% confidence - if youre looking for a powerful recorder regardless of your camera, there is no better option than the Odyssey 7Q+ from image quality to customer care. 5

[OLED] I use this for a variety of applications. From shooting 4K green screen interviews from my Sony A7s to capturing multi-cam presentations in HD to recording screen capture demonstrations from my client's laptops (preventing the need to purchase and install capture software for every new demonstration). Having versatile tools is important for me and the Odyssey 7Q+ has already become very useful in several different applications. This justifies its higher cost over the Atomos Shogun. Overall I think it's a better value for my needs. What I like about this recorder is the easy to use menu system with accessible buttons along the edges of the screen. This makes finding the different tools simple and intuitive. Utilizing the multiple inputs or the Titan HD Extract option has been very useful for shooting presentations. I also like the CD-Transfer_v3.0 software for making offloading the footage files simple and reliable. 5

Robert M.	17/07/2024
[OLED] I own 2 of the Odyssey7Q+ and one Odyssey 7Q. I find them easy to use and they have so many applications their production value is limitless. I use these Odysseys with the Sony FS7, Sony NEX FS 700 and just recently the Sony A7s. They have made my Video cameras sing with beautiful RAW 4K footage. Whether I'm editing in DaVince Resolve or Adobe Premier the color files pop out of the monitor and provide lush, vibrant pictures and when when Shooting in Slog all I can say is Wow. The support for this product is unsurpassed. 24/7 is their motto and they have come through with flying color. I've even had the opportunity to talk with Mitch Gross on some work flow items and he is uber receptive. This is truly one of the best investments I've ever made in my production equipment. 5

[3400:1] I been meaning to write this review for a while about my experience with Odyssey 7Q+. I have been using the odyssey 7Q+ since March of 2016 with FS700, as stated in other reviews the footage it delivers looks great and brought new life to the FS700. The monitor and its monitoring tools also perform well. What has really impressed me about the 7Q+ is Convergents support. Before I made the purchase, I spoke to Dan at several of the broadcast shows. Plus, I spoke with him of the phone – that kind of support and information is priceless to me. Ultimately, I made up my mind to choose convergent design over the other products out there. While it is an excellent monitor/recorder; convergent designs support is second to none, It is one of the best CS/Tech support in the professional broadcast industry. Should I have a question or an issue – 98% of the time I can speak to Dan and or Jim. Dan will also answer on the weekends. It is just a pleasure to do business with them. I will also say that BHs support has also been great as well; in helping me get the most out of the 7Q+. 5

[Magnesium] I have had the 7q+ with the raw upgrade for about 2 weeks now with my fs700 and all I can say is wow. The footage is amazing along with the extremely versatile design. Can't wait to mount it on my ronin! 5

Peter	27/06/2024
[Mono] Ive used CD products for years but I recently started with a production co that has 3 in rotation. we abuse all three of these units daily and they have performed flawlessly. Yes, to fully utilize the raw recording and multi channel record you must buy other licenses. we did make the investment and given the value added to our shoots, it was a great investment. without the licenses this is still a fantastic recorder and a great tool for getting the image you want. loading luts is super simple and the menu systems/ui is intuitive. On top of all of this the customer support has been superb. recently on location we needed help with a software issue at the 11th hour and Dan from CD saved our butts!! 5

Brian A	17/06/2024
[1x Barrel Input] I bought this primarily to have a good reference monitor, based on a friend's recommendation. But the additional features of this unit are outta the park. Well designed, clearly by people who work in the industry. For multi-cam monitoring, I couldn't be more happy with this purchase. 5

Ben	09/06/2024
[SDI, HDMI] I purchased one for work and I liked it so much I bought one for myself. I've used this with both the Sony FS5 and Sony A7s. Both to record 4K ProRes. I really like waveform overlay and false color tools.� I only wish it had a second HDMI input. I recommend understanding and using the CD-Transfer software when offloading SSDs. It's not complicated. Also be sure to do a safe eject when removing the SSDs. 5

Such	09/06/2024
[Yes] I don't know what all these 2 and 1 star reviews are about. If you researched the product, you'd know it doesn't come with battery plates or the 4k raw option. They do that so you don't spend $4000 for options you don't need. If you're a professional, you'll like this monitor. 5
