INTRODUCTION // READ THIS FIRST!
BEFORE YOU BEGIN USING THE ODYSSEY7, WE STRONGLY SUGGEST
YOU REVIEW THE INCLUDED QUICK START GUIDE. WE ALSO
STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING:
1. Always record to the INTERNAL MEDIA OF THE CAMERA; this is critical for proper
timecode and ideal for dual media / backup.
2. DO NOT REMOVE THE FOUR SCREWS FROM REAR OF CASE. This may result in
damage to the OLED panel. Such damage is not covered by warranty.
3. Power and Cabling: Make sure you have PROPER POWER (6.5-34VDC), plugged in to
the proper power port (left side of recorder), and that 3G-rated SDI cables are used.
4. Power source must be able to provide up to 24 watts at all times to the Odyssey7.
5. When powering the Odyssey7 from an ARRI ALEXA camera, we recommend using the
24V R/S Fischer-3 output from the ALEXA using the optional Convergent Design cable.
6. Familiarize yourself with the equipment and test prior to shooting.
7. Before using the SSDs it is IMPERATIVE TO FORMAT them in the Odyssey7.
Formatting SSD media is a DESTRUCTIVE PROCESS; any existing data will be lost
during format.
8. Ensure that the camera’s viewnder data is not being recorded; IF YOU SEE
VIEWFINDER DATA ON THE ODYSSEY7 monitor, then it will be recorded! In a future
update, if your camera can provide both clean and data-overlayed video feeds, it will be
possible to monitor one while recording the other.
9. NEVER DELETE ANY FILES OFF AN SSD FROM A COMPUTER, except when going
through a rmware update procedure.
10. While we recommend that you always maintain the latest rmware on your Odyssey7,
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND UPDATING FIRMWARE IF YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF
A SHOOT (unless specically instructed to do so by our Technical Support staff).
11. When ofoading media, ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP COPY, ideally to a RAID1 drive.
12. Be sure to allow the Odyssey7 to nish closing a Record le before taking any further
action.
13. Always safely eject SSD Media by pressing the button before removing SSD media
from the Odyssey7.

SSD MEDIA
2.5” PREMIUM SSD MEDIA
To enable recording on the Odyssey, you must use Convergent Design Odyssey Premium SSD media.
Only Convergent Design Odyssey SSDs will work in the Odyssey. These SSDs, available in 256GB,
512GB and 1TB capacities and must be purchased separately. Firmware updates must be completed
only with Convergent Design Odyssey SSD or Convergent Design SSD Utility Drives.
256GB Odyssey SSD CD-SSD-256GB
512GB Odyssey SSD CD-SSD-512GB
1TB Odyssey SSD CD-SSD-1TB
ODYSSEY UTILITY DRIVE
The Odyssey Utility Drive is designed as a lower cost alternative to the Odyssey Premium SSD media
for secondary tasks. The Odyssey Utility Drive can be used for Odyssey rmware updates and future
functionality such as 3D-LUT les.
The Convergent Design SSD Utility Drive will not record video les. It is intended for Odyssey owners
who do not wish to tie up an SSD with utility features, or for Odyssey owners who use their devices as
monitors and do not need to purchase the more expensive recording media.

GETTING STARTED
ODYSSEY7 ACTIVATION
Convergent Design requires each Odyssey7 to be registered via our website. This is so that we can
provide notices of free rmware updates, issue alerts for critical issues, and track rentals or purchases
of record options.
Upon rst initializing of the Odyssey7 (see below), a prompt will appear asking if the device is to be
Activated at this time or if it is to be used in DEMO mode. In DEMO mode the Odyssey7 is fully functional,
however a blue or pink bar “watermark” will appear in any recorded video.
In order to Activate the Odyssey7 after initial purchase, go to Convergent-Design.com to register and
activate your unit. When you have registered a new account (or logged into your existing account) you
will be able to Add a Device to your account at which time you will be provided the Basic Activation Key
for your device.
The Activation prompt will appear upon every initialization of the Odyssey7 until the device is Activated.
When Activate is selected, follow the prompts to Activate the Odyssey7 using the Basic Activation Key
you were given on the website.
Also, make sure your Odyssey7 has the latest rmware, posted here:
Convergent-Design.com/support/rmware-downloads.html
INITIALIZING
Plug in power to the Odyssey7. It should take about 5-10 seconds to initialize, depending on the mode
it is set to. If the Odyssey7 does not self-initialize, push the PWR ON button next to the power socket on
the lower left corner of the Odyssey7.
As part of the initializing process, SMPTE color bars may appear briey on the screen. If there is a
signal input into SDI A IN that matches the record format the Odyssey7 is set to, then the image should
appear on the screen. If there is an SSD mounted in the Odyssey7 then a DETECTING SSD message
will appear on the lower left of the screen. If the SSD needs to be re-initialized or formatted, a second
message may appear. If the Trigger Button in the Upper Tool Bar appears as a red box surrounding a
white circle, then the Odyssey7 is ready to record.
12
GETTING STARTED
POWERING DOWN
While it may seem an odd time to note this, it is important to know that there is a preferred method to
shutting down the Odyssey7. On the left side of the case, the F2 SHUT DOWN button should be pressed.
This prompts a conrmation to “SAFELY POWER DOWN UNIT?”
Powering down in this fashion properly closes the les and directory system on the SSDs, preventing
corruption. If the Odyssey7 should ever suffer a failure and the F2 SHUT DOWN sequence does not
function properly, the unit can be Force Power Off by holding the PWR ON button by the power socket on
the lower left corner of the Odyssey7, or simply by pulling the power connector out of the power socket.
If the Odyssey7 is ever powered down in this fashion, it is important to run a recovery on the SSDs in the
Odyssey menu:

THE ODYSSEY7 TOUCHSCREEN
The touchscreen of the Odyssey7 features all of the device’s controls in a straightforward, easy to navigate
structure. Each box is a “virtual button.” Tap it briey to activate/deactivate it, or hold it for a few seconds
to open up the menu dening its function. The controls at the top of the display (Upper Tool Bar) are the
recording, playback and formatting administration. The controls at the bottom of the display (Lower Tool
Bar) are the image analysis adjustments.
THE ODYSSEY7 MENU
Starting on the left, tapping the ☼ button brings up the initial setup menus for the Odyssey7. Don’t be
intimidated by the number of selections in the ☼ section. This is by far the most in-depth section of the
Odyssey7 touchscreen menus. More information about the Odyssey7 Menu System is available on the
following pages.
DEMO MODE
Out of the box the Odyssey7 is in DEMO MODE and must be owner-registered with Convergent Design.
On the Odyssey7a watermarking blue bar will appear on the lower third of the image both on the OLED
and in the recording while in DEMO MODE.
To activate the Odyssey7 after initial purchase, go to Convergent-Design.com, create a user account and
add the device to your account. When you add a device to your account you will be provided with the
Basic Activation Key for that device.
