Matching PMW 200 and EX3

Post by ksvenice » January 20th, 2013, 1:11 am

I'm on a show filming with two Sony EX3's. We use the Marvel Picture Profiles http://marvelsfilm.wordpress.com/2010/0 ... ure-profil...
I've just purchased a PMW 200 to use as an additional camera, but many of the picture profiles are different. For example the Matrix are numbered instead of given names. I've tried to match as best as possible to a color chart, but the 200 has a green/yellow cast that I cannot seem to lose. Does anyone know a good way to match the cameras? It's very frustrating that the 200 has a different picture profile. It seems to me that Sony would want to match these cameras since they're in the same family.

The PMW-200's use picture profiles that are similar to all the other 50Mb/s XDCAM cameras that have hypergammas.

I, too, am wishing to find a happy medium between the PMW-200 and EX3 / EX1R cams. I'm using AC's ASIA1 (Thanks for that, Alister) for the 200 but. Would like to get the EX cams to match. I'd really appreciate a suggestion on how to get the EX1R and EX3 profiles to close so that I don't have to adjust in post. Yes, it seems the PMW 2oo does have a yellow / green cast.
