I love all this scope snobbery :)
We lived our whole lives with a 5 inch CRT waveform and vector and if we were very lucky a parade display.
Now for 600 bucks we can have all that and histogram, audio and error checking with gamut indications.
What customizable options do people want? It's been a long time since I had any need to look at line 21 or zoom in to time in a vtr. Hell barely anyone I knows has an spg anymore.
I know very high end facilities with scannity and baselight grading by ultrascope, they are more than accurate enough for daily use.
As a disclaimer to the guy who dissed them while admitting he is paid to push other manufacturers I have vfx supervised a feature for bmds now closed facility house and worked with Grant and Peter in 1991-2 but no one pays me to say nice things about anyone's scopes. I just like the ultrascope as a good enough solution that delivers a lot of value.
I like the brash boldness of the display I like the error logging, I wish they added a clock to the top right so I had a time indication in the same place and I wish I could throw my company logo on rather than theirs... Hmmm ResEdit? I might look at that! But seriously its not an omni tech or a too range engineering textrivix scope but neither were ev, hamlet, etc etc and I've had to use those many times over the years.
It's a sad indicator of where our industry is going that we are having a conversation about the advantages of adding technical monitoring. I've never built a suite without scopes and I won't be starting any time soon.
