Convergent Design announced a firmware update for their Odyssey7Q and 7Q+ recorders which enable continuous high speed ProRes recording in 4K, UHD and HD, at 60p (in 4K/UHD) and 240p (for HD).
The free firmware update can be downloaded from their site but requires the optional Odyssey RAW bundle to work. Right now, the Sony FS700 and FS7 (only with the XDCA Extension Unit) are supported, but additional cameras will be added in the future.
The update also includes RAW support for the new Canon C300 Mark II, enabling 4K and QHD RAW recording from the camera, at up to 30p.
In this video, Convergent Design shows how to set up high speed ProRes recording:
