I am currently using R3 and I'm having problems with the gamma correction settings. When I set it at 2.2 my output seem perfect for composite out of my Targa 64+, however my monitor is a 2 channel Sony with composite input as well as S-Video. I currently run my Targa composite ouput straight to my monitor while using my S-Video output as my line-in for my panasonic AG-7750. It appears that my VTR is doing gamma correction as the gamma test images on Line-A(composite) and Line-B(S-Video out of VTR) are completely different. I double checked by bypassing my VTR and both Line-A and Line-B are identical when testing. Does anyone have any experience with this problem, I have contacted my Panasonic dealer and he doesn't know how to prevent the VTR from Gamma Correcting. Thanks Ron Myers

Jonas, <<Please download and review the following..>> Thanks for the reply, I downloaded that information some time ago and have read all 43 printed pages. I did shine a light on the topic however nothing to deal with my situation and my VTR. Thanks for your interest. Ron Myers CAD-Dynamics, Inc.

Ronald, By any chance, do you have the TBC turned on, the settings that go with the TBC can change the colors. Try putting the TBC in bypass position and check your output again. You might have to adjust the settings such that the colors are the same going into and out of the TBC if you are going to have the TBC on. I suspect that you are already aware of the TBC, but just thought I would mention it just in case. Regards…..Rick (in Oklahoma City, home of the big explosion)
