From the dvxuser website (interview with DoP Nancy Screiber:

Jarred: Rumor has it that the film NOVEMBER was shot using default settings (Scene File 6) 24pa.
Did you use Cine-gamma?

Nancy: I used the cinelike file and did alter both master ped and detail settings…..this was done after extensive testing, including a film out test. Today, with the 100a, I might have gone with factory settings since ped and detail are controllable later. However, if one wants to control color as I did, I would definitely do that in camera, not in post. It’s too artificial to try to change colors later.

What does she refer to?
This difference between DVX100 and DVX100A?
Can you adjust the ped and detail AFTER recording? Or is she refering to postpro?
I do not get it..... :(

Thanks guys.
 
As far as I know, she is talking abour postproduction. ONce the image is recorded to tape it is fixed. The 100a does not allow you to change the settings after you have recorded it to tape.
 
In her opinion it's easier to control black levels and gamma in post than it is to adjust any major changes in color.

Of course that varies with each D.P. and what they want to do. Certainly trying to obtain the cleanest image withthe widest dynamic range in the original should be the main objective. Likewise if you've lost any data in the original (color very orange when you want blue in the end, way to bright or way to dark) then you won't be able to get them back in post.
 
Yeah waltind, but what I do not understand is the difference between DVX100 and DVX100A. She says that with the DVX100A model she can make SOMETHING that she was not able with the DVX100..... any idea?
