The camera never had any dynamic range to begin with so any reduction is pretty bad.

Are you using a control surface like the Artist Color or Tangent Wave? Or are you just using a mouse? If you are just using a mouse what kind and how is the sensitivity set in the control panel?

If you look at the Intel white paper on Thunderbolt it is clear that TB is a PCIe X4 interface. Maybe with the new MBP with two TB ports somehow they have combined two x4 lanes to get x8 throughput?
I believe that Apple has stated that there is not GPU support over TB but maybe that will change with drivers.
Still not desktop power in a laptop but pretty interesting if you want to do on set Color work.

Hard to say, I talked to the developer a bit about G5 performance and he said it is a combination of CPU and GPU that makes SB run. I suppose that a better GPU than a stock 128mb card would boost performance but it is hard to say if 1080p video will work even in 8-Bit.

I think the scopebox creators are to be commended for still trying to support the obsolete Power-PC platform.
I sold my Ultrascope to setup a new ScopeBox setup I like the scopes more than the BMD Ultrascope which is only 1080line 4:2:2 capable.

For the money I would just replace the G5 with a Mac-Mini and a Blackmagic Thunderbolt SDI box.

Did you try setting SB to 8-bit? I think the old G5 will have a hard time running Scopebox in HD at 10-bits. What display video card is installed in the G5?

In my experience with shooting and coloring the Canon 5D (mk2 and mk3) with curves installed (both LI and Tech) the big limiting factor is that the camera is just not a very good video camera. In video mode they are noisy in the blacks and clip very easily due to the very narrow latitude. So you may be having trouble that is due to the additional camera setup issues or the limits of the camera with the scene that was shot.

I have Neat video running as FCP Plugin on my Resolve machine and I ran the settings to optimize it for CUDA and it becomes really useful with all of the GPU horsepower compared to CPU only render times.

I think the loss of realtime for some OFX plugins would be offset by the added functionality offered. And I think that some of the costs associated with top OFX plugins would keep the config questions to a minimum.
