I like to try and help you out. But I can’t see the pictures that you like to. Can you send me some small video files I can look at and then I’ll try and tell what the problem is.

Yaa the Arri Locaster is super in CRI and the 2800-7000K is very good. I use kino flo for much for my work and I have been looking for some LED easy on the move lamps. I did try the ARRI locaster and I love it. But the light output is a long way from a kinoflo. So if you need a high light output the locatser is not the one for you. But Locaster is 100% the best LED lamp i have used to this day..

Do you know the CRI on that sungun.. DON’T buy a sungun under CRI 80.

I never use LED light under CRI 85.

Gamma correct fields – This filter lets you increase or decrease the gamma of the input video frames. Gamma is kind of like non-linear brightness – that is, the entire spectrum isn’t all brightened by the same amount. The gamma correction range is from 0.0 (completely dark) to 1.0 (the existing level of gamma) to above 1.0 (which brightens the pixels). Gamma correction is usually used to adjust a Mac-authored movie that plays too dark on a PC. A gamma of 1.4 is usually about right for converting the gamma of a Mac input file to the same level of PC brightness. If you have a movie that looks good on the PC and you want to use it on an Xbox, PS/2 or GameCube connected to a TV, then you must adjust the gamma (or the movie will be too bright and washed out). Use a factor of 0.88 to covert from PC gamma to TV gamma.

Hobe this helps you out.

Have a look at the Lowel Blender 3000-5000K https://www.lowel.com/blender But it’s still LED and that’s just not super for TV production because of the Color Rendering Index
