As far as I know there is no rental S8 gate for the Spirit. Shops with S8 gates include LightPress, Cinelicious, Spectra and Technicolor had one. You could ask but I bet they would want to sell the service and not rent the gate.

It is not a software limitation, my Titans are running quite fast on 10.8.5 on all PC hardware.

The original HD-Link SDI to DVI box had settings to make EDID and refresh work with different LCD monitors. You should check the BMD settings for the MiniMonitor but it might not support refresh rate changes to support the capabilities of LCD Computer monitors.

Yes I probably was, but the way Kodachrome works and the way Technicolor 3-strip works is very similar.

I would search the LGG forum for Kodachrome, I think Juan posted a workflow with a node tree that looked pretty effective.

It is basically impossible to get the look of Kodachrome with a digital camera, especially a CFA single sensor one.
That said most semi successful attempts at Kodachrom in post have been done with substantial color channel isolation. Think about how Kodachrome worked, it is three layers of B&W film and the color dyes are added in development.
Kodachrome is basically grainless and falls to black very quickly, it is also contrasty because it is a reversal stock.
There was a good node tree for a Kodachrome look a while back on the forum, it had isolated color and used soft clipping I think.

It sounds like the finished video but I would ask for a quicktime reference as Marcus said.
I would bring the clip into Resolve and run Scene Cut on it and not worry about Log or Lin as you will be grading on a Rec-709 monitor I presume. I tend to stay away from dropping a LUT on and just start grading it, I think LUTs restrict what you can do in the grade and most are things which are better done by hand.
AS far as frame size DPX is any frame size you want (can be 12K IMAX..;-)) you can bring the clip in and there will be a frame size in the clip info. You can either use the project setting dropdown to set resolution or manually key in the frame size of it is not in the standard resolve settings.

The DPX frames will appear as individual clips in the Media window. Are these selects? i.e. did they get exported with original timecode from a scan? If so you will probably need a EDL or other to properly assemble them on the timeline. If it was some kins of edited export with the DPX frames and TC in a single sequence then no EDL needed. Also you can use scene cut detection on DPX.

Does the projector have a SDI input? Instead of DVI get a Blackmagic Mini Monitor to go SDI out to the projector and maybe it will display REC709 correctly?

That is pretty important if one is applying a display LUT
