Paul,
I'm not sure how the Bars could have Scoped off unless it was relative to the
work you were outputting, which means your work was "hot". The PAR does have a
set of BARs with it, and I would use those. If your work is coming out "hot"
you've got to start looking at your luminance levels etc. in your lighting. I
never go above 180 on lights, I usually turn ambient off or bring it way
down… you colors shouldn't read above 210 on Luminance on HLS. Video is
rather restricting, compared with print etc. Having a good NTSC monitor helps
alot, if its calibrated correctly.
