Overview
Nobe OmniScope is a dedicated scoping application that connects to DaVinci Resolve and other hosts to provide scopes outside the editor. It handles 19 scope types including Waveform, RGB Parade, Vectorscope, Histogram, CIE Plot, False Color, 3D Color Cube, Twin Peaks, Skintone scope, and audio metering up to 32 channels.
Scopes can be freely arranged and docked in the workspace. Layouts save and reload per project, and Solo mode lets you maximize any scope without leaving your grading session. The StreamDeck integration allows switching scopes via hardware shortcuts.
Version support includes 12-bit signal input, HDR scales with ACES color science, Dolby Vision workflows, OpenColorIO color management, and NDI 6 input. GPU acceleration keeps performance high even on modest hardware. The False Color scope is fully editable with draggable IRE ranges, and 13 industry-standard overlays are included as presets.
Also works with Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro via NDI, Scratch, and screen capture mode for Photoshop and Lightroom.
