Well, this is the last reply I have on this so if you respond you’ll get the last word.

I agree with what you’re saying. I realize that skin tones and everything else in an image is relative. I’m not suggesting that you should put green in the green box, red in the red box, flesh tones on a particular line, etc. It is helpful however to have a scientific measure of an image if you don’t have the luxury of owning a $40K monitor and minions to calibrate it every day.

If you’ll search this forum, you’ll see that this same request was made a year ago by other people who also think it could be a useful tool. My original post was a little chastisement to BMD for not responding to customers requests for a feature. If you (and they) feel that request is a silly one, then to each his own, and those of us who would like to have this feature can look to other solutions.

Peace.

It doesn’t really matter to me what you call it – if it is a tool that helps us make better decisions then why not use it as such? I understand that it is a throwback, but it is still a useful one in the HD world even if it is used for something other than its intended purpose, IMHO.

Yup. A little more involved on the PC version…

Ok, so I’ve figured out how to modify the vectorscope display (or any other scope display I suppose) in Ultrascope. I’m not saying YOU should do it but it IS a relatively simple matter. BMD could literally make this addition in about 5 minutes. If you’re interested I can describe the process off list.

Your eyes will lie to you. A scope tells the truth.

Juan,

I’ve looked at Scopebox and it may be a solution, but I already have an Ultrascope and computer set up to run it.

SEEMS like all you’d have to do to add an I bar to Ultrascope is literally modify the vectorscope display graphic file to include an I bar line.

[Craig Hirshberg] “(Was going to ask this on Avid forum, but got stuck in their disfunctional, endless loop of logging in/linking to my other accounts login, and back again, etc. nightmare of a website. They really need to fix that, but that’s another topic.)”

I second that notion. Can’t even seem to get in to check for updates because that part of the site is so convoluted.

Just spoke with DaVinci support. As of Resolve 8.2, there is no separate driver install. If you install the regular desktop video drivers then install Resolve 8.2 it won’t overwrite the drivers. So if things are sluggish with all the latest versions of the BMD stuff, then it must be something else.

Have any of the other people you’ve spoken with about this issue mentioned a dual boot scenario as a solution? Resolve on one partition, AVID on the other? Should work if it is drivers only but won’t if Resolve is messing with the firmware of the card like it use to.
