Convergent Design introduces Titan HD Extract

Titan HD Extract is the latest upgrade option for the Odyssey & Apollo camera monitor/recorders. Titan HD Extract uses one 4K camera to create three HD video signals. One frame is a Super Sample of the full image area and two are windows selected from within the original input. These windows can be panned smoothly through the 4K field and the three angles can be Live-Switched. All four HD signals can be recorded simultaneously in Apple ProRes with matching timecode and file names.

With Titan HD Extract, you can:

• Shoot a two-subject interview using one camera and Titan and record a Live-Switch of a two-shot plus separate close-ups.
• Record a panel presentation with a wide master plus a single on the moderator and another of the panel, all from one camera.
• Cover a House of Worship service with a shot of the clergyman, another of the chorus, and a wide view of them all – done with the modest investment of one camera and Titan.
• With Titan HD Extract and a single installed camera capture an entire football field from the 50 yard line, plus follow a player as he runs the course of the field.

Titan accepts 4K video signals over HDMI and SDI (original Odyssey7Q limited to 3G-SDI). Titan also accepts 4K RAW data from the Sony FS5, FS7 & FS700 cameras. Live-Switching is available as cuts and dissolves, and an Edit Decision List is generated as an EDL file for conforming an edit in post.

Titan HD Extract is an upgrade option for the Odyssey7Q+, Odyssey7Q and Apollo monitor/recorders. Other options (Odyssey RAW Bundle or Apollo) are not required for Titan. Titan list price will be 1295 USD, and it is is expected to be available around the beginning of October. See Titan in person at the Convergent Design booth 12.A34 at IBC 2016.
