Working w/ Media
RECORDING TO SSD MEDIA
The SSDs will automatically Span from SSD1 to SSD2. This means that if a file is recording to
SSD1 and fills the available memory, the recording will continue uninterrupted on SSD2. The
exception to this is when recording in a high data rate mode that requires both SSDs to be
recorded to simultaneously, such as FS700 Record Option, 2K RAW @ 240fps. For more
information on record times and SSD capacity, see Record Time Capacities. A future free
firmware update will also allow the option of simultaneous dual recording, in which both SSDs
record identical files for backup purposes.
LOSS OF POWER DURING A RECORD
You should never power o the camera while recording, many camera’s including the ALEXA,
disable the user from doing so while recording. Included in the Odyssey 7Q’s recovery
mechanism, is in case of power loss, you will loose the last couple frames of the record, but
not the last take. You will receive several error messages due to the loss of source. If the unit
fails to close the last clip and return to normal operation once the source has returned. You will
need to remove the power from the unit, then re-power the unit.
After any failure of this type, the Odyssey will automatically mark the SSD’s as full, once power
is restored to the unit. You will need to ooad the footage, before you will be able to continue
recording, in order to help ensure proper recovery of the previous recordings.
DOWNLOADING MEDIA
Always make sure to properly Safe Eject to dismount SSDs before removing from Odyssey7Q.
While the Odyssey7Q drives are exclusive Convergent Design products, they utilize a standard
2.5” SATA interface. No expensive proprietary download stations are required. Consumer
card adapters such as Seagate GoFlex adapters (see Third Party Accessories in this manual)
are available with Thunderbolt or USB 3.0 interface. Thunderbolt is fastest and USB 3.0 is most
common and self-powering. Firewire 800 is not recommended as it will take a very long time
to download files.
Convergent Design oers a USB 3.0 SSD Adapter (CD-SSD-USB3) through authorized dealers and
distributors. This device allows you to access files on the Convergent Design SSDs on any computer
with a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port. (Please note that USB 2.0 ports have much slower data transfer
rates.)
