DaVinci + Avid gamma shifting

Hello to everyone! i need advice...

We have a project in Avid with RED files in AMA. We have sent EDL to DaVinci Resolve. Graded as full range data...rendered. Made relink to graded media in Avid and all video was shifted for 7.3 IRE. and became low contrasted

Why it's hapenned?

You right, Pepijn...it;s should be that way, but when i was trying grade in legal it was strange thing... even if in waveform monitor my black was really crushed down. it was'nt black on the screen. And when i switched to full range mode it's all became great. Black was black at "0" on waveform and on the screen... =\

and then Avid shifted gamma...

any idea why?

Reference plasma screen.

I had this problem when I would export to a ProRes QT on MC5.5 under Rec 709. Re exported using DNxHD and all was fine.

Had the same problem when importing ProRes HQ into avid MC 6.

The easy solution to avoid the gamma shifts is to choose the Prores HQ format when importing, and make sure your project is set for Progressive or interlaced, the same as your source.

Then MC just rewraps the Prores video in an MXF container, and there is no gamma shifts or other nasty things
