RECORDING TO SSD MEDIA
The SSDs will automatically Span from SSD1 to SSD2. This means that if a le is recording
to SSD1 and lls the available memory, the recording will continue uninterrupted on SSD2.
The exception to this is when recording in a high data rate mode that requires both SSDs to
be recorded to simultaneously, such as FS700 Record Option, 2K RAW @ 240fps. For more
information on record times and SSD capacity, see Record Time Capacities. A future free
rmware update will also allow the option of simultaneous dual recording, in which both SSDs
record identical les for backup purposes.
LOSS OF POWER DURING A RECORD
You should never power off the camera while recording. Many camera’s including the ALEXA,
disable the user from doing so while recording. Included in the Odyssey7Q is a recovery
mechanism. In case of power loss, you may lose the last few frames of the recording, but not
the entire last take. You will receive several error messages due to the loss of source. If the unit
fails to close the last clip and return to normal operation once the source has returned, you will
need to remove the power from the unit, then re-power the unit.
After any failure of this type, the device will automatically mark the SSDs as full, once power
is restored to the unit. You will need to ofoad the footage before you will be able to continue
recording in order to help ensure proper recovery of the previous recordings.
DOWNLOADING MEDIA
Always make sure to properly Safe Eject to dismount SSDs before removing from
Odyssey7Q.
While the Odyssey7Q drives are exclusive Convergent Design products, they utilize a standard
2.5” SATA interface. No expensive proprietary download stations are required. Consumer
card adapters such as Seagate GoFlex adapters (see Third Party Accessories in this manual)
are available with Thunderbolt or USB 3.0 interface. Thunderbolt is fastest and USB 3.0 is most
common and self-powering. Firewire 800 is not recommended as it will take a very long time
to download les.
Convergent Design offers a USB 3.0 SSD Adapter (CD-SSD-USB3) through authorized dealers
and distributors. This device allows you to access les on the Convergent Design SSDs on any
computer with a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port. (Please note that USB 2.0 ports have much slower
data transfer rates.)
