I'm new to setting up my camera (EX1R) to a Chroma DuMonde Chart. While watching Robert Goodman's video on the DSC Lab's char, he mentions to set the vectorscope to X2 gain. Does ScopeBox have a X2 function? I can't seem to find it. Again, I'm clueless to setting up my camera using the Chroma Dumonde chart. I have a 3 camera shoot coming up and I'd like to know how to align them. This video link explains the X2 gain question.

Thanks for any insight.

Hi Tony - Version 2 didn't have a 2x gain, but version 3 (currently in beta) does, specifically for that purpose. Shoot me an email at support@divergentmedia.com and tell me a bit more about your setup (how you're connecting the camera, etc) and we may be able to get you in on the beta.

I should mention I downloaded the trial version of ScopeBox. My plan is to avoid buying a

Thanks for any help,
