Convergent Design Odyssey 7
Convergent Design, who gave us one of the biggest product surprises at NAB 2013 with their Odyssey monitor/recorders, has released pricing information about their modular system, including daily rental options for additional and camera-specific codecs
They've also taken the opportunity to simplify their product range by making it clear that the Odyssey 7 can not be used for uncompressed recording: the Odyssey 7Q will be needed for that.
Pricing for those that only want to use it as an OLED field monitor is now clarified as well.
There's a lot of detail here, so here it is, direct from Convergent Design's press release.
Note: US list prices shown below; prices will vary in different countries.
