Will I need to buy Ultrascope too?

Hi,

UltraScope runs on its own dedicated machine. At the NAB demo, it was running off a small Shuttle PC.

And if you have a PC laptop with USB 3, you can run the adorable Pocket UltraScope! Together, they’re still less than many portable HD scopes with these features….

Not that this necessarily has anything to do with DaVinci, but I still can’t help mentioning this whenever I get a chance. 🙂

You don’t have an outboard scope?

The current versions we use has a scope built in however we still monitor the sdi out to an external scope rather than use the internal one.
I have the ultra scope at home and it works very good as well.
I think i’m going to pick up that cute little mini posted above just for fun..

We have a rack mountable hardware scope, but it’s from the mid 90’s. I haven’t even thought of using it with Color (and in the future, DaVinci of course). I bet it won’t play well with SDI.

You’d rather do a HW solution instead of Ultrascope ?

Tim, no, I don’t have a PC (that’s almost like swearing in church) in our suite. Nor do I think we’ll ever have one. 🙂

Rumor has it you will need another dedicated video card for the processing of the DaVinci Resolve on top of that layout. Can’t just use the same video card that runs your monitors. So yes card space is very very limited.

Ultrascopes only work with PC’s, supported graphics cards, and monitor resolutions. You can get an Ultrascope system setup for less than $1500. Now consider how much hardware scopes will cost and you’ll see why you should be swearing in church.

I don’t think that’s just a rumor if you want realtime playback.

Figure of speech…your exactly right about the realtime playback. The Resolve is dependent on CUDA processing of Nvidia based GPUs.

So, it was never a Mac based PCI Express card? They way they presented it earlier made me think so.. I see they link to a page with “requirements for Windows and Mac OS”, but only Windows is listed when you actually get there..
