Dear Friends,

Hi there. I've got another question for you, and, again, I apologize in advance if I'm missing something incredibly obvious.

I've been doing a lot of tests with my HVX200/P2 Card combo. The other day I recorded some footage with the video output connected to my television as a makeshift monitor.

On my television things looked fine, but in Final Cut the same footage appears quite dark and underlit, which it probably was...

But my question is, why should there be such a big difference between my television and Apple Cinema Display?

Thanks!

kieran, TV sets and computer monitors have different GAMMA. In fact all displays do!

Ahhh...

And, thus, the only reference we can really trust is a properly calibrated production monitor, yes?
