Dear Friends,

Here are some details for the firmware update 2016.01.1336.

We continue to add features and improvements to our Odyssey and Apollo line of products.

Briefly:

The Odyssey7Q and Odyssey7Q+ are now capable of recording 4K at 50, 59.94 or 60 frames per second from video sources. The Odyssey7Q+ has more input flexibility in this regard.

HD-SDI 6G inputs have been added to all Odyssey7Q+'s.

With the Apollo or Apollo Option, one can now record two streams of 4K or Ultra-HD (UHD) up to 30 frames per second. The sources must be video and not Raw for this mode.

And with the Apollo or Apollo Option, four streams of 1080p50, 59.94 or 60 are now supported
