Why not combine an OLED monitor and recorder? Odyssey7 does just that



We’ve seen digital recorders with monitors built in, but why not have a beautiful OLED monitor that has a digital recorder as an added benefit? The Odyssey7 from Convergent Design seems like a great idea. I’ve used the Atomos Ninja 2 before and while it is a great recorder, its monitor wasn’t anywhere close to high enough quality to be using as a full time monitor.


Our Chief Moderator Yoclay on the planet5D forums spotted this one – and it looks pretty impressive!








Introduction to the Odyssey from Convergent Design



The Odyssey family is a professional 7.7” OLED monitor with high-end monitor features, including Waveform, Zebras, Histogram, Vectorscope, Focus Assist, False Color, Timecode Display and Audio Level Meters, and 1:1 Pixel mode. Odyssey7 includes HDMI I/O, and SD/HD/3G-SDI I/O; in both single and dual link configurations. As you have come to expect from Convergent Design, Odyssey is low power, lightweight and comes in a rugged magnesium case.


The Odyssey7Q adds two bi-directional SDI’s (2-In, 2-I/O, 2-Out), enabling a 4K@60fps-ready option. Additional computational power supports recording/playback of up to four-compressed HD/2K simultaneously, support for one video stream up to 120fps and concurrent proxy and raw recording. Odyssey7Q includes a built-in Quad Splitter and Four-Channel Live Switcher.


Odyssey7 and Odyssey7Q can be upgraded to a full professional recorder with the following options: Compressed (Avid DNxHD up to 120fps), Uncompressed HD/2K RGB 444 (up to 60p), 2K/HD Raw, ARRIRAW (full 16:9 and 4:3 support), and Canon 4K RAW.
