"I find the same problems when receiving Avid media as well, as I don't have an Avid to bring in/export the material. "

With MC6, you have native, licensed ProRes support. In the pre-MC6 versions, Avid DNxHD QT exports (same as source, rec601/709) convert reasonably seamlessly into ProRes using Compressor. Just make sure you get your Avid files that way and that you have the free Avid QT codecs installed in your system. There will be a minor level difference, but it's not the huge gamma shift we are discussing.

The reason is because Apple does not open the encoding specs, so everyone has to reverse engineer passing their levels from a non-QT codec over to QT. The actual encoding is done by the closed QT engine. That's what you get with a proprietary format without any official standardization.
