Dear Friends,

We have had many requests from Sony FS700 and FS7 + XDCA users, to be able to record High Speed Apple ProRes 422 using our Odyssey7Q or Odyssey7Q+.

Yesterday, we added this feature, provided the Odyssey7Q or Odyssey7Q+ has our FS700/FS7 Raw Option, which is now part of our Raw Bundle.

With our firmware version, 2015.8, we have added the following recording options:

Starting with 2K 12-Bit Raw, to HD Apple ProRes 422 (HQ, Regular, LT) at 100/120/200/240 frames per second.

Starting with 4K 12-Bit Raw to 4K / Ultra-HD Apple ProRes 422 (HQ,, Regular, LT) at 50 or 60 frames per second.

We have added these features for both the Sony FS700 and FS7 (with the XDCA, which is required for the FS7 to output 2K and 4K Raw.)

Here are two other posts which provide additional details:

Respectfully,

That's excellent Dan! I look forwarding to loading up the new firmware into my 7Q+ and giving it a try. A great product just keeps getting better. Thanks.

Dear Doug,

Thank you!

More great features are planned for next month also.

We plan to add significant new features to the Odyssey family in the upcoming months.

Respectfully,

I used the 2kRAW to ProRes yesterday at 120fps and it worked well. Much easier to deal with in post.

Dear Chris,

Thank you for the feedback!

Respectfully,
