Compressed Codecs Now INCLUDED with Odyssey!
Based on customer feedback at NAB, Convergent Design has made some significant changes and is now announcing full pricing for the Odyssey7 and Odyssey7Q.
Most notably, DNxHD and any future supported compressed codecs (up to 1080p60 422) will now be included at no additional cost in the base price of the Odyssey. There is no additional firmware option to purchase for DNxHD support. Simply insert a Convergent Design SSD into the monitor and you have activated recording features in both Odyssey7 and Odyssey7Q.
In addition, Odyssey7 will now be a gorgeous 7.7" OLED monitor with compressed recording capabilities only. Any additional extra cost options and features will ONLY be available on the Odyssey7Q. This makes Odyssey7 a simple solution for DSLR and broadcast, and avoids confusion between it and it's 7Q counterpart.
Convergent Design is offering all extra cost options and features available to Odyssey7Q customers at a full-license rate, as well as a per-day rental fee, and is reflected as such in the pricing chart below. While the Odyssey7 and Odyssey7Q monitors and 2.5" SSD media are available through our large Dealer Network, recording options are accessable via the Convergent Design website 24/7 - giving users ultimate flexibility along their journey.
Note: US list prices shown below; prices will vary in different countries.

Why Convergent Design SSD's?
|
| |
|
People people ask "Why not use off-the-shelf media?" We understand your concern, however, please consider the following, as Convergent Design did when making the decision to support a proprietary SSD.
1. Power loss protection: Ever loose power while recording? This can be a catastrophic event. Odyssey SSDs include a sophisticated protection circuit to prevent lost data and drive damage even if the battery dies while recording.
2. Read/write speeds: Ever drop a frame of video? Drives can temporarily go “offline” to perform garbage collection, wear leveling or other system functions. Overall performance depends on a bevy of technical issues, such as incompressible vs compressible data performance, burst length and queue depth, among others. Odyssey SSDs are tuned to consistently provide 500MB/sec read and 400MB/sec write and with no dropped frames.
3. Drive endurance: All SSDs eventually wear out. Odyssey7 SSDs are enterprise grade drives and feature 4X the endurance of typical consumer drives. Projected drive life is well over 5 years under typical use conditions.
4. Power consumption: SSD power consumption directly effects battery life, temperature and overall reliability. Odyssey SSDs feature a low 3.2W power under full-speed recording. By comparison, some consumer drives draw upwards of 7W, which can cause overheating problems.
5. Stability and reliability:
Does the SSD have the latest manufacturer’s firmware? Has this firmware been tested by the recorder manufacturer? Convergent Design tests all SSD firmware updates and even includes this update inside Odyssey firmware (so you can easily update the drive in the field). Our enterprise grade drives have a controlled bill of materials, and are burned-in at the factory to eliminate DOA's and early-life failures to ensure a long useful life.
