yes I did the test with my wave, and it behaves like you described.
It looks like “Master reset maintains RGB balance” does not work as it should, at least in 7.1

[Holger Hessinger] “Sounds logically to me”
Of course my bad, I described badly the problem and reversed Resolve’s reverse behavior.
Here is the correct description :
When “output fields when paused” is not checked, Resolve outputs both fields.
When “output fields when paused” is checked, Resolve outputs only 1 field

try the setting “Master reset maintains RGB balance”

I haven’t seen any gamma shift rendering to or from prores with DaVinci 7.0.1, 7.0.2 and 7.0.3
I would not judge a gamma shift on quicktime playe. It’s not unusual to find two shots that quicktime player displays differently but that are are the same in Final Cut.

I would suggest using https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/32555/cuda-nvidia-gpu-benches to bench your cuda capabilities, and see if the CUDA / graphic card / driver combination works okay. After downloading the app, in the terminal, run _nbody with the -benchmark otption
With the gtx 285, you should have something like
540.359 GFLOP/s at 20 flops per interaction (that’s what I get here)good luck

[Jack Tunnicliffe] ” I could post some pictures if anyone wanted to see the modification. “
would love to see that !

[Christopher Tay] “Are you saying that when you make the grade adjustment, you see a latency on the UI display but not on the SDI display ?”
no, the other way round : 10 frames latency on the monitoring as compared to the UI display when playingI measured it playing a video with timecode burnt-in, and taking a picture.
I have been contacted by DaVinci support regarding the issue (very nice to see they read those forums and react when they feel it’s necessary) : they suggested a method to measure latency using a video camera, in stop mode : in playback mode the Davinci keeps a buffer to smooth playback.
The result is in this video : https://www.charbon-studio.be/get/davinci_latency.mov ; I would very much appreciate if fellow users could watch it and tell me if it feels the same at their place.
In stop mode, it takes 5 frames (@25) for the UI to update, and an additional 5 frames for the monitoring to update.Tthere are two sounds when I press the button on the Wave. First sound is the button-down sound, second sound is the button-up sound. The first sound is to be considered, because I have noticed the grade is disabled even if you don’t release the button
Reminder : exactly the same monitoring setup has been measured on the same system with a 5 frame latency using the Blackmagic 3D Extreme in Final Cut Pro, and 2 frame latency with the Aja Kona
I hope this will get fixed, either for all of us if everybody has the same results, or for the few of us who have apparently observed this latency
cheers

[Margus Voll] “It should be elementary for users with fcp experience that gui picture is just for reference.
“Of course it is. I’ll try to say it again : the problem with my resolve is not that the UI is ahead of the monitoring. Don’t care about that. I used the UI as a reference just to measure the latency of the moniroting.
The problem with my resolve, and apparently with all resolve, is that it is slow to show me the adjustment I make because of the monitoring latency. The resolve feels like a truck when changing a grade. Color and Baselight feel like a motorcycle when changing a grade (yes I know, the resolve has lots of advantages for a crasy price, and I still love it).
I hope it will change some time soon.
[Margus Voll] “Some cases HDMI devices also generate a lot of delay.”
And that’s why I have also done some tests on Final Cut Pro, where monitoring is the same and monitoring latency much better.
If we want this to change in a latter release, we should agree on the fact that it would be much more confortable and faster to work with a low monitoring latency than a 10-frame latency… should’nt we ?

Here 1 revolution of the shuttle +- = 1 second ; I could do with a fast mode when pressing Alt.
I’m surprised that people seem at ease with such a high latency. If it happened only during playback, I couldn’t care less.
But when I grade (using the wave or the UI), I would really much prefer the davinci+motoring to be more responsive : grading is made of lots of fine adjustments, and I would much prefer to see at once the effect of each one of them.
