You need to color correct both in analog and digital stage. I do all the color correction with FCP using Apple ProRes. You need to use scopes, this is mandatory. A calibrated monitor won't prevent...

Yes, those are fantastic machines but $2,500 is way out of range. I'm a Beta collector and I don't see anyone paying that much for these machines. Not even close. Even for the better ones.

Where did you get that info from...? I have 2 ES10's (EC-S + EG-K -Germany-) and another ES20 and I haven't experienced those issues using the AV4 input/output. Is that source reliable?

Again, a MV scrubber doesn't care about the image information part of the signal. It only cares about the first 20 lines. That’s where all these fake pulses are. There’s no A->D->A conversion done as...

That rewinder is a POS. Not only does it not clean the tapes, it stretches the tapes badly. If you value your tapes, you want to buy a high quality rewinder.
