Does the h264 footage have timecode? i.e. when you converted the 5D footage did you set individual timecode to each reel? This is a common prolem with 5D footage because the camera does not generate timecode.

No you would need:
Decklink HD-SDI ($300)
HD-Link Display port
Display port to display port adapter cable.No DVI connection to this monitor, maybe to the other monitor you will be using for the Resolve GUI. This is all covered in the Resolve setup manual.
If this is your “reference” monitor i.e. the monitor you will be using to judge you grade on you should calibrate it to a known spec like REC709 so it tries to be a reference. Getting a proper probe and software to do this is about $9K….

There are Display port to HDMI adapters but not HDMI to Display port which is what you would need.
You could get a basic Decklink HD-SDI and a HD-Link Display Port and connect the Resolve SDI to HD-Link to Display port. The good thing about that combo is that the HD-Link can hold a 3D LUT that you will need to make to attempt to calibrate that display.

THat is great it seems like a Mini with a thunderbolt I/O like Ultrastudio would be a great little machine for scopes and portable to set.
I upgraded our V2.0 on a Dual G5 2Ghz at work and it definitely takes a hit in responsiveness compared to V2.0 it seems like there is less CPU load (around 70%) but maybe that GPU is not so hot? The G5 has a ATI Radeon 9600 128Mb card some other card recommended?
Will be buying a few more Scopebox licenses…

It runs really well on my 17″ i7 2.4Ghz Thunderbolt Macbook Pro.
Does it run well on the cheaper ($599.00 intel integrated GPU) Mac-Mini with 10-bit, 1920×1200 display multiple palates etc?

That sounds really good Mike and I really like the product and I am hoping that it will find more of a place here with more tools for Colorists.

I think Scopebox is a great product in many ways I really like the scopes and the customizable layout. However it is priced and aimed at a lower end market and is really designed around firewire cameras it is just a somewhat happy accident that it works with SDI via a Decklink card.
Maybe he could be persuaded to make a Hi-End version that would leave the capture elements behind and support 2K and add features that Colorists would need.
