Gamma difference between component output and actual footage

Does anyone know why the image from the component output of the HV30 is much brighter than the actual recorded HDV image?

When I connect the HV30 to my HD monitor via the component output I see great image, consistant with the image on the LCD monitor of the camera, but when I capture it to the computer I get a much darker image.

I'm wodering if I'm doing something wrong, and if there's any specific gamma or color profile difference that I should be compencating for.

Any information will be much appreciated.

Thanks!

It's one of the differences between studiorgb & computer rgb color profiles...
do you perhaps work on a mac system? because it tends to give a darker look to images...
it's really late here, so I better get some sleep, anyway, if you need a more "sophisticated" explanation you can pm or email me.

There could be a lot of factors in play here.
What you need to do, if you really want to see what your image looks like is view it on a professional monitor that has been adjusted properly.

Then to view it correctly off of your time line you need to be sending your video out to this professional monitor through a professional capture/preview device, AJA ,Black magic or other.
