Can I answer for Dennis?!
YES!!!!!

Re: Odyssey7Q now Shipping
 

Dear Brian,

I do not want to leave the wrong impression.

The nanoFlash recorded using a Sony XDCam 4:2:2 codec module, thus our XDCam codec "Essence", (the actual encoded video) was the same as what Sony cameras created). This part is no longer available from Sony.

We made the nanoFlash's MXF Header and footer (which wraps around the "Essence") compatible with the Sony U1 and U2 Sony Professional Disk Recorders.

Thus, one could use a nanoFlash, and then, using the Sony U1 or U2, create files on the Sony Professional Disk.

The Odyssey7Q and Odyssey7, at least not at this time, do not have the capability of recording in Sony XDCam 4:2:2 codec.

I do not want anyone to think that we are busy adding Sony XDCam 4:2:2 codec to our new products.

Thus, if you have a nanoFlash, please keep it, as Sony XDCam 4:2:2 is a wonderful codec for many applications. And if desired, one can record to the nanoFlash and use the Odyssey7 or Odyssey7Q as a monitor. I realize that an all-in-one device is certainly more attractive, but adding the Sony XDCam 4:2:2 codec to the Odyssey7 or Odyssey7Q is not practical at this time.

Respectfully,

Hi Dan,
I completely understand that there will be no XDCAM recording capability on the Odyssey, but when you asked:

Do you want to copy Odyssey7 and Odyssey7Q MXF files directly to the Sony Professional Disk?
Like one can with the nanoFlash's MXF Files, using the Sony U1 or U2 Disk system?

My answer is still yes.

Dear Friends,

There are two ways to use the Sony Professional Disk system, when using the Sony U1 or U2 disk recorders.

1. One can write a Sony XDCam File, or a nanoFlash file which uses the Sony XDCAM format, to the area of the disk that allows it to be played in any Sony Professional Disk camera, recorder or playback device.

2. One can write any file, of any format, to another area of the disk. These files can not then be played back in the Sony cameras, recorders or playback device, since they are not in the Sony XDCam format..

Option 2 is still useful, as the Sony Professional Disk system is good for storing, archiving, or just transporting the files to another location.

Dear Brian,

With Option 2, any of our files that will fit on a Sony Professional Disk can be written to the disk.

Respectfully,

Yes - in the User Data folder.
Understood.

Dan, Brian
My wish was for a MXF /UDF solution for the Nano, based on the ability of the Odyssey. So in the end, if one wants to deliver an optical Sony compliant disk without Fat 32 issues, Nano or Odyssey, one must utilize an NLE and out to xdcam. Ok, so I'll move toward, and consider future solutions for multicam matched TC and file structure.
Order an Odyssey.
1.Record any ilk of camera on whatever codec CD is about to announce into and up to 4 inputs.
2.Copy x3, and verify.
3.Generate offline, Multi-version Grade if using SLOG2, RAW (Optional) *My base needs this done prior to edit. I know this defies the standard industry EDL/AFF workflow, but this works for both parties.
4.Drag into and out of NLE on to Sony Optical, generating a proxy.
