Subject : SD output darker than HD output
Guys,
 
I can see that the SD output from Nitris is darker than the HD output.
 
To test it I outputted from Nitris to Digibeta and then to HD VTR and downconverted from there to Digibeta and the first one is darker than the second one.  Anyone knows why?
 
I'm worried about this because we did a whole series of 9 short films in HD and we have to deliver HD and SD copies and both should look the same.
 
Thanks for any help,
Nacho
 
PS: If the question is why didn't I output to HD and then downconvert from there, the answer is that the DC from the HDW2000 looks worse than Nitris one. If anyone knows of any setting I should change in the HDW2000 pls advise me!!!!
