Odyssey 7 - Page 17

MENU SYSTEM
VIDEO CADENCE:
This identies the cycling of the signal coming into the Odyssey7 and how it is to be
recorded.
AVAILABLE CADENCES:
PROGRESSIVE/PSF: For video signals structured as True Progressive (p) or
Progressive Segmented Frames (PSF).
INTERLACED: For HD video signals structured as interlaced elds (i). Records a
1080i60 video signal without alteration. Note that some cameras carry progressive
video embedded within an interlaced signal. See 3:2 Pulldown below.
REMOVE 3:2 PULLDOWN (TO 24P): For 24p video signals striped within a 60i signal.
Extracts the 24p video, records it as 1080p24 and discards the excess elds for greater
efciency and smoother post.
TIMECODE SOURCE:
Allows selection for origination of timecode. Note that some video sources do not carry
timecode data and at high frame rates some cameras do not generate timecode. In these
cases the Odyssey7 will generate a Record Run timecode from its internal clock. LTC not
supported when recording ARRIRAW.
AVAILABLE TIMECODE SOURCES:
SDI/HDMI (embedded in incoming signal)
LTC (input from external source to LTC port)
TIME-OF-DAY NDF (Odyssey internal clock, non-drop frame counng)
TIME-OF-DAY DF (Odyssey internal clock, drop frame counng)
