Colour matching XM1 to DVX footage

For some interviews for a documentary I am making, we have used a Sony XM1 for 2nd camera. Our main camera is a DVX100A using 50i cine-like-D, A. iris -1, detail coring at +2 and norm1 matrix. We're *very* happy with the look of the DVX footage.

My question is how to make the b-roll from the XM1 look more like the DVX? In every shoot we've a)white balanced both cameras and b) shot a simple colour chart.

I'm experienced in FCP and now use FCP 4HD. Any ideas?

Hey Bifter,
Hard to say without seeing clips. The first thing I would say to do is adjust the gamma settings. The cinelikeD has a fairly wide gamma curve that will be most noticeably different on the Sony. I'd say that you would have to tweak the levels and maybe adjust the reds in the mids in the 3-way corrector. Somewhere to start at least.Hope this helps. Maybe post a few clips and I'm sure you'll get a ton of help.
