The Apollo features two dedicated 3G-SDI inputs, two dedicated 3G-SDI outputs, and two bidirectional connectors that can be assigned as either inputs or outputs via the menu system. To top it all off, there’s even a mini-HDMI input and output to suit your non-SDI needs. Need 4K and HD? No problem, this recorder also includes the Titan HD extract upgrade.
Super High-Quality Codecs. Don’t like that crummy old 4:2:0 file? No problem! This recorder captures video in 4:2:2 at up to 10-bit Apple ProRes 422 HQ format. This rental also includes DNxHD activation.
High-Quality Monitoring. The Apollo features a 7.7-inch, 1280 × 800 LCD with a 3400:1 contrast ratio—the same great monitor as the Odyssey7Q. It also shares many of the Odyssey7Q’s advanced image-analysis tools, including Vectorscope, Waveform, RGB Parade, and extensive LUT support.
Multi-Camera Made Easy. This was designed for a full intuitive workflow. Not only can you record multiple inputs, switch between inputs using the touchscreen, and monitor up to quad view, but you can also record your program for a live edit and create a double master while shooting using dual SSD slots.
SSDs Not Included. This rental does not include SSDs and not all drives are compatible. This recorder requires specific SSDs with top latches. Refer to the recording times link under “Resources” to plan your media needs accordingly. If you have questions about drive compatibility, please contact us.
Transfer Tool Only Available By Request. The Transfer Tool is unfortunately no longer publicly available, so you’ll need to contact Convergent Design to get a download link.
