SMPTE bars question
I have an XL1. I know the bars are not SMPTE. Question is, if I record SMPTE bars out of my editing system onto a tape, then play that tape through the XL1 in the field, will that be an accurate way to calibrate my monitors?

Yes indeed it would... see an article on monitor calibration at http://www.greatdv.com/video/smptebars.htm -- hope this helps,

Thanks so much for the tip! I sure wish the XL1 had one of those nifty smartcard readers. then i could load a still of SMPTE bars on the smartcard and never take it out!

Many folks do not use the frst 1-2 minutes of tape for capture. So consider recording bars on that portion of your new blank tapes before you head to the field?
