Here's an odd question that I don't expect anyone to have a real answer for but....
The IRE standard for DV is 0 IRE. So, why did the factory not set the master pedestal setting to the proper level as a default for the 60i mode (F1) so that the resulting video is "NTSC Legal"? I mean, out of the box, with IRE set to 0, the blacks (on the 100a) begin well above 0 on a scope - with the lens capped.
I know I can adjust the mstr. ped and store it - but why didn't factory do this for that mode?
