Convergent Design has just rolled out firmware 3.10.100 compatible with Odyssey7Q and Odyssey7 recorders, which fixes HDMI input legalization, Pixel Zoom image blackout, as well as PLAY mode for ARRIRAW 24p.

In addition to that, the present release also improves PLAY mode’s scrubbing and RAW/ProRes playback, enhances FS700 4K to HD ProRes image quality, increases ProRes and SSD power efficiency, and resolves PLAY mode audio sync.

Moreover, if the current version is applied, compatible units will benefit from a refreshed user interface, timecode and Start/Stop trigger support over HDMI on suitable cameras, as well as from selectable Project Rate for HD ProRes recording.

However, firmware 3.10.100 also includes several other changes. Thus, in order to view the complete list of fixes, improvements, new features, known issues, as well as recommendations, simply click the Release Notes button below.

As for installing this update, bear in mind that an Odyssey SSD or Utility Drive must be used for performing this process, as the recorders cannot be connected to the computer through a USB cable.

Therefore, back up all important data and format the SSD you are about to use, save and extract the archive from within the downloadable .zip file, copy all content onto the drive, and insert it into the Odyssey7 unit.

Now turn the recorder on, follow all displayed instructions, and allow the upgrade to apply (takes about 30 minutes). Upon completion, press and hold the power button for at least 5 seconds, remove the SSD, and format it using both the computer and the recorder.

With this in mind, download Convergent Design Odyssey7 Firmware 3.10.100 or download Convergent Design Odyssey7Q Firmware 3.10.100, take into account all aforementioned aspects, and upgrade your device’s firmware to the latest version.
