Interbee 2015: Convergent Design Odyssey latest firmware run-through. Adds Prores 4444 and spot meter

At the Interbee show in Tokyo this week Amber Cowles from Convergent Design ran us through the new features of firmware v2015.11 for the Odyssey 7Q and 7Q+ monitor/recorders.

The Convergent Design Odyssey 7Q and 7Q+ have had another firmware release

Main improvements include the addition of ProRes 4444 and Prores 4444XQ recording in 2K or HD at 10/12-bit RGB up to 50p/59.94p. This will work with Sony’s F3, F5, F23, F35 and F55 cameras as well as the Canon C300mkII and C500.

Also added is a useful spot metering function that can be used to compare the values between two sources at the same time.
