These show up correctly in the Avid CC WFM. In Resolve, they read out at Black=0, White=1023 on the 10-bit scale, instead of what I’d expect, which is 64-960. I’ve set the clip attributes to ‘video' (64-960).

Essentially,

Avid is showing you the bits that it'll be writing out to file based on SMPTE file delivery specs, where 64=black and 960=white.

Resolve is showing you the scopes based on its internal processing where 0=black and 1023=white. When Resolve renders, your codec choice tells it if it needs to remap to 64/960 or maintain 0/1023. 

When everything is working properly, what you're seeing is proper. And when grading in Resolve, set your blacks to 0 and your 100% white to 1023.

Make sense?
