Zacuto have released a firmware update for their Gratical HD EVF. The new version 1.1 offers a range of improvements that includes the ability to export look up tables (LUTs) which can be shared between other Graticals. Audio metering is now enabled across SDI and scopes can now be set to toggle between showing the raw data input from the camera and the input once the LUT is applied. It can be downloaded here.
Importantly for users of the Convergent Design Odyssey 7Q and 7Q+ the Gratical will now correctly detect the SDI signal coming from it. Below is the full list of features new to this firmware version taken from the Zacuto website:
GRATICAL HD FIRMWARE UPDATE 1.1
LUT creation is now implemented. When entering this menu, the values of any active LUT will be
shown. This includes Zacuto preset LUTs, so users will now be able to tweak the LUTs we created
LUT export is now implemented. Exported LUTs will be saved in a .zlut file format. The .zlut format
is only compatible with other Graticals.
Scopes can now toggle between two settings: raw input data from camera or raw input data plus
Gratical applied LUTs
Error message is now displayed when attempting to import a 3D LUT
Exposure Assist (zebras) now appear at the correct setting

Frame lines now scale correctly with anamorphic settings
With anamorphic de-squeeze on and scopes active, the video image now centers toward the scopes
Scopes can be positioned along the top or bottom of the image
