Yes if it is cost effective, it should calibrate ok.

Ditto on the audio out… so simple, so worthwhile….

It took a wile for Steve Shaw and I to get the 11UK calibrated (it’s 98% of REC 709) but it looks good and I have good confidence in the display now. I don’t think it is possible to get a good 709 cal with the pannys internal adjustments. I had it setup with a klein k-10 and internals when I first got it and it is pretty far off from perfect even after that.
The Hubble and Light-Space together are more than the display and SDI card but well worth it IMO plus you can then calibrate other displays.

Yeah I got the 11UK a few years back and was running it on Color and I had a HD-Link Pro display port but the 11UK hdmi is only 8 bit. So I got the SDI card that cost as much as the display…;-)
I calibrated it with Light-Space and a X-Rite Hubble and made a 3D LUT that I have on Resolves display LUT output.

Can the DCI creation package do the reframe? Otherwise maybe After Effects or Shake, etc? That frame is the standard 2K squeezed scope size have you asked the people doing the compression if the DCI compressor does that?

I did not mean to be entirely flippant about monitoring but scopes alone do not cut it. There are so many different monitors and displays setup in so many different ways today but I think that if you grade in a proper calibrated space it is the only chance you have of making the images look good on all of them.
I think it is basically about trust, when you have a display that works and is calibrated, you then know it and can trust what you are seeing on it.
Otherwise you can grade something to look good on YOUR monitor and it may look ok on 20% of the monitors out there and total crap on 80% of the rest and you might not ever know… until someone says that thing that came out of your shop was really flat and cyan looking a year later.

Without a proper, calibrated, monitor you have no idea what you are doing. This basically makes you an amateur or enthusiast and even crappy 7D foortage can be graded to look better and will look better even on the web. So unless you want to be stuck doing dslr web junk forever time to put a relatively small amount into a actual broadcast monitor.

They are not on the Wave, you can download the Resolve manual and there are panel layouts for the BMD panel and the Wave at the back.

The 1,1 Mac-Pro has PCIe V1.0 slots and cannot sustain the needed memory bandwidth to and from the GPU for resolve to work and especially not with 1080P 444 footage.

If you load a Log clip into Resolve and are monitoring Rec709 via SDI the conversion is automatically done. I am grading a 35mm picture right now which is 2K 10bit log DPX and I am monitoring on a Plasma as Rec709 and the pic works fine. I have a calibration LUT for the monitor (made with Light Space) that is on the output but does not apply to the scopes.
So I think that if you load your LUT you are basically doing as you said and applying the LUT twice.
