  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Waveform in color room, this is very usefull but what is the best way, best monitor?
What is the best SDI OUT to conect and loop waveform?

cheers
 
For SDI out you'll need the SDI daughterboard for your nVidia Quadro board.

For the specific waveform monitor: I've read some great reviews on the new Blackmagic Ultrascope which is very cheap compared to the competition (Omnitek, Leader).

The Ultrascope is a PCI card that needs a host computer (not your Scratch workstation) but you can build a complete system for $ 1500 to 2000. The SDI daughterboard costs more.

yes .. BMD Ultrascope will be shown in BIRTV 2009 again.
I will test it in scratch workflow.
 
But ultrascope use same SDI Quardo output?
 
Another (and cost effective) solution would be to wait for Scratch 5.0 which includes waveform and vectorscope ;-)

Yeah I know, I should´ve been there. Really looking forward to 5.0. Looks like it will be a new milestone in SCRATCH develeopment. 64 bit will be good. Can´t wait to have 24 GB of RAM - and have good use for it!

Cheers,
Fred
 
Hey Fredrik,

CUDA-enabled, true 32-bit waveform/vectorscope, with Parade modes... coming in 5.0. We showed this at IBC. ; )

Lucas will the 5800 with 5.0 be able to drive two GUI displays at once? I know Scratch doesn't support dual displays and Im not really sure what the 5800 supports but it would be great to use one DVI as the primary GUI and the display port for a secondary GUI dedicated to the new scopes. Possible?

What we were showing at IBC was DisplayPort feeding the primary display, with DVI or SDI feeding the "client monitor."

But, SCRATCH has always supported dual displays. Kind of confused why you don't think so? Or am I misunderstanding?

Yea sorry, what i meant was dual GUI monitors. The 5800 has dual DVI and display port so in theory it could drive two GUI displays and an SDI output. Basically im asking if we are going to be able to use a 2nd display for scopes. Not sure how you are implementing the scopes in the GUI but id imagine it will be similar to the floating histogram. Having the scopes up all the time and managing all those windows sounds like a pain. If we could dedicate a 2nd display for scopes while maintaining our primary GUI and SDI that would be ideal.
