Create a Custom Preset on the XL H1 and set the following adjustments:
BLACK LEVEL: STRETCH
CORING: Set all the way to the right...
NOISE REDUCTION 1: ONLY use if your shot is static with no moving objects - will add a trailing ghosting effect to any movement - (Basically leave this setting OFF)
NOISE REDUCTION 2: Set To HIGH
CHROMA: Set to +3 - +5 depending on the color in the frame (get a good color sample)
If you want Cine-Gamma look, then set GAMMA to CIne 1, set KNEE to LOW
Turn up the Video Gain Level to +6 (possibly +12) and THEN turn on the above Custom Preset and the noise reductions settings (Coring, Noise Reduction 2) will help minimize Grain...
Good luck.
