Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
The Odyssey7Q records in Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) which is a 10 bit 4:2:2 220Mb compressed
codec. This will allow for high quality recording while avoiding high data rates of working with
uncompressed video. (DPX)

Apple FCP X, ApertureBlack Magic DaVinci ResolveSony Vegas
Cineform StudioThe Foundry Nuke
To playback Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) files in QuickTime Player X, the files must be first run
through our Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) Utility to be optimized for the recently released Apple
ProRes 422 (HQ) Codec update. If files are not optimized, then they will play the first second of
audio only. This is not an issue when playing in FCPX.
SONY FS700 RAW SUPPORT (DNG SEQUENCES)
All FS700 RAW recording on the Odyssey7Q is recorded as a 12-bit linear CinemaDNG file. With
DNG files, timecode and clip metadata is stored in every frame, as well as in the XML file within
each clip. All audio is recorded 48Hz 16 bit Uncompressed WAV audio.
It is important to correctly set the white balance of the camera, as this is baked into the RAW
file.

FS700 RAW: DEALING WITH RAW FILES
Note that FS700 RAW files are Linear, thus the files need a Gamma 2.2 correction in order to
look correct. You may notice when you first import your files that they appear very dark before
correction.
FS700 DAVINCI RESOLVE IMPORT SETTINGS
1. Right click on the file and select “Edit CinemaDNG Codec Settings”
2. Then under the CAMERA RAW select be sure CinemaDNG is selected from the drop down
menu.
3. Set the Decode using method to CinemaDNG Default* (Also be sure your project is setup
correctly)
4. Set the White Balance to As Shot
5. Set the Color Space to Rec709
6. Set the Gamma to Rec709
7. Leave Highlight Recovery o
8. Click Apply
The media pool CameraRAW settings are the same as the ones in the color page and these are
designed for individual clip adjustment so its better to first set the ‘project settings’, ‘camera
RAW’ as you need for the whole project.
Select ‘Project Settings’, ‘Camera RAW’, ‘CinemaDNG’ and make sure the ‘Decode using’ is set
to either ‘CinemaDNG Default’ or “Camera Metadata’
The “Camera Metadata’ is the default and the best place to start if you need to change an
individual clip with camera RAW.
The Media pool settings are helpful if you have a mix of dierent clip types, you can sort by
codec, select a group and adjust.
For you Convince Convergent Design has Generated several example LUTs that can be applied
to your RAW footage. Keep in mind these LUTs are an approximation, and may need adjusting
depending on your application.
These LUTs are available in the Firmware/Downloads section of the Convergent Design website.
*Also note that using camera metadata or CinameDNG default is also supported.

TO LOAD 3D LUTS INTO DAVINCI RESOLVE
1. Select the Project Settings wheel, and navigate to Look up Tables
2. Select Open LUT Folder, and copy the included example LUTs into this folder.
3. Now Select Update Lists
4. Now in the media Browser you can right click on your RAW file and select 3D LUT and
select the LUT you wish to apply from the list.
Note the following about each CD example LUT, and you should adjust the LUT based on your
application.
FS700_1.11.100_SLOG.cube
This Lut can be applied to view a simulated S-Log2 look. based on the RAW recording with the
S-Log2 picture profile, also note the image should closely match the internal media.
FS700 FCP X IMPORT SETTINGS
Once you have created a new project be sure to check the following Settings:
1. Under Final Cut Pro select Preferences
2. Be sure the Still Images editing duration is set to 0.0.1 Seconds
3. Select navigate to File and select Import Media
4. Navigate to the Clips Directory, and select the Clip Folder contain your FS700 RAW files.
5. At this point you can start correcting the files to a 2.2 Gamma. using the Color Board.
* Note if you are recording the the internal media you can import the matching S-Log2 file, and select
Match Color for a close approximation of S-Log2, but will most likely need additional tweaking.
