POST PRODUTION
WORKING WITH RECORDED FILES
There are numerous post systems and NLEs that can read natively the various file formats
recorded by the Odyssey. Some NLEs may require plug-ins in order to read certain file formats.
Blackmagic Design Resolve software is available for free and can read all formats recorded by
the Odyssey.
FILE STRUCTURE
UNCOMPRESSED SUPPORT (DPX SEQUENCE)
All Uncompressed recording on the Odyssey is recorded as 10 bit RGB 4:4:4 DPX, this is for
all sources regardless if the source is 8 bit, 10 bit, 4:2:2, 4:4:4. With 12 bit camera’s the files
are recorded as a 16 bit DPX, for more universal compatibility. Also note that with DPX 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.
Also Note 1080p59.94/60p, 1080p119/120 and 12 bit files are recorded as Packed, so our CD
unpacker utility will need to be used before the files can be used in any editor.

Generating a LUT and applying it as an input lut should help fix the issue. Here is how it
can be done:
1. Add a single DPX sequence to a new project and create a timeline
2. In the color page, go to the RGB Mixer and swap the red and blue channels
3. Right click on the VSR of the Clip and generate a LUT. Save the LUT in the default
location or in a sub folder then open the project with the DPX files that exhibit the
issue. Apply the saved LUT as an input LUT.
* If using Resolve 10 or older, or other NLE’s such as Adobe, Scratch Lab, or Autodesk
Smoke, then you can simply import the DPX files after running through the data
unpacker.

The Odyssey 7 and 7Q records in Apple ProRes HQ which is a 10 bit 4:2:2 220Mb compressed
