If you needed to see a larger wave form display than the AF100's tiny wave form monitor and you couldn't afford to purchase a wave form monitor, what mac compatible software based wave form monitor would you suggest?

I've heard of ScopeBox, Veescope Live, and HD Monitor Pro.

Is a program like ScopeBox as reliable as a dedicated waveform monitor?

Not trying to suggest that the AF100's wave form monitor is not reliable just that it is quite small to look. If I could get it to cover the whole area of the LCD screen, it would already help me. But I didn't see a setting for that.
 
Scopebox is great, you can add and arrange and resize as many monitoring tools you want in fullscreen. (waveform, rgb parade, luma histogram, rgb histogram, preview windows, audio meters, vectorscope, etc) Each tool can be fullscreened so you have a giant scope in front of you. And yes, they are accurate, and nicely labeled. I'd imagine they'd be a touch MORE accurate than a separate analog box, as it's dealing with the original digital data right from the camera.

It works with blackmagics cheapest capture card, the Intensity. So you can feed your computer hdmi for use with scopebox. It also works with the decklink cards, if you'd rather feed it sdi.
 
I like Scopebox it is compatible with my Matrox MX02 (portable with MBP) and my AJA KONA in my MP's in the Studio.

But the best of all are my real scopes.
 
Since the AF100 doesn't have a firewire port, can I use the USB port on my AF100 to connect straight to my mac for Scopebox? Or would I need to go SDI via Matrox to get tyhe picture to show up in Scopebox? I'm just using the trial version of ScopeBox right now.

Won't work with USB. And no video signal is sent out the USB port.
