If you are feeding the Dreamcolor with a HD-Link Pro is it display port? You mentioned DVI which would be 8bit. You can set the output of Resolve to 3G XYZ SDI which should feed the HD-Link Pro, I believe. How are you calibrating the Dreamcolor? You will need to profile it for DCI P3 space or as close as the display can get to that.

I know this does not help but the LED’s are horrible they are missing spectrum in big negative spikes so there is nothing there. I recently talked a “producer” I was shooting for out of using LED lights in favor of Kino Flo’s with a Sony F3 and I am glad i did because we were shooting interviews. I don’t know how exactly to approach fixing the footage other than balance it and boost the color that is missing maybe using the curves.

You probably need to upgrade to Resolve V 8.0.1 to use the newer more advanced editing features. V7 has more limited editing and is mostly used with EDL’s.

It should work it does not have drivers it is just a hardware expander.

Why? you can get a Asus P6T7 WS board with 7 Pcie slots, four will run at X16, which is much greater bandwidth then a Cubix.

I thing Resolve needs a plugin architecture like OpenFX.

I think there is a message that comes up if the card detects a Ref input.

I don’t know if a dye could be considered “inaccurate” Kodachrome dyes certainly have their own special look though.
Red is very pronounced in Kodachrome and Blue is somewhat muted I would tend towards adding some saturation to the red channel and maybe a little mid-high curve boost, and then using the curves to change how the Blue and green channels look, maybe with a bit of a bow down with both but not of the same amount or shape.
And Kodachrome (Like all reversal stocks) have a relatively fast overexposure in the hilites but unlike video it tends to be soft instead of a hard clip.

I just happen to be transferring some 16mm Kodachrome from 1937 today…featuring the “Gas House Gang” (the Cincinnati Cardinals) and FRD and Eleanor Roosevelt.
Family films…

What is faded about those photos?
Nothing…
they look almost exactly as they did when they were shot.
The single thing you need to know about trying to emulate the Kodachrome look is that it is actually B&W film in three layers with a color (gel) filter for each layer. The actual color (the dyes) were added in the processing.
To attempt to get the Kodachrome look I would start with isolating each color so there is no crosstalk and then punch up the red layer and put a slight curve on the blue. Then add contrast the older Kodachrome stocks were 12ASA and contrasty.
Lastly I would add some soft clipping for each channel as the top end of the Kodachrome has a soft but fast blowout in the hilites.
It will never look like real Kodachrome but you can try…
