The Odyssey 7Q has been very popular particularly with Sony FS700 users. Convergent Design is now looking forward and is working on 4k capture solutions for cameras such as the Panasonic GH4 and the Sony A7s. At Broadcast Asia the Odyssey 7Q was shown hooked up to a GH4 using the DMW-YAGH Interface Unit . Now at the moment the 7Q clan only display the 4k signal from the GH4 but it will soon be able to record it as well. Convergent Design is currently testing a variety of options as to how best to record the 4k signal from both the GH4 and the Sony A7s. With the Gh4 you will be able to record in a “popular codec” at 880Mb/s/. I have no doubt that a HDMI 2.0 4k signal will be able to be recorded to the 7Q down the track as that is the only way to output and capture 4k from the A7s.
