I have seen some odd looking gamma curves published for the DVX-100A that don’t match my experience with the camera, therefore, I decided to run my own test and share the results: Download file.
Grayscale chips from a GratagMacbeth chart were used for the measurements and IRE Values were taken from the spot meter on DVX-100A. Grayscale chips from a GratagMacbeth chart were used for measurements. IRE values were taken from the spot meter on DVX-100A. The test was performed by first adjusting the iris until the white chip read 95 for each gamma setting. Then, measurements were taken of each chip. Black at 0 assumes a Video Setup value of 0 (rather than 7.5).
