The best advice is, if you don't have a light, do not shoot progressive at night, shoot 60i and add gain. You cannot add gain in 24P or 30P.

How can you not add gain? I can do it :-/
You can add gain in 24p no problem.
When I shoot at night I use lights, but there are times when I can only shoot with the available light on the street, so I still shoot 24p but change the shutter to 1/24 as appossed to 1/48.
Also, with the dvx, you can adjust the gain in small incriments, I think I have mine set to 3db incriments, not sure, rarely use it & it still turns out fine.
If it is a scripted scene, try to get it shot in an area that has adequate ambient light, WB & use those settings I suggested & you'll be ok.
If it is still too dark, well, your screwed.

The original DVX100 did not allow gain in 24p or 30p. That ability was added in the camera's first update, the DVX100A.
