Hi Emulgator. Latreche34 at the end of my thread (above) said he may have a Brighteye BE75 for sale.
This device has a full frame TBC, but also allows the the signal to remain digitised after time base correction and can output 10bit 4.2.2 lossless (with 12 bit internal processing)
I had many interior home recorded Hi-8 videos that were very dark and noisy. These type of video clips benefit greatly from 10 bit analog capture.
10 bit video has 1024 grey levels (cf 8bit 256 levels). Capturing analog at 10bit resolution therefore eliminates banding when large adjustments are made to levels.
Your entire processing chain can benefit from having a higher bit depth source. You would also need a Blackmagic SDI capture card.
Great. You and Emulgator and latreche34 can show the OP (and the rest of us) how to correct the crushed blacks and blown-out brights with that BM hookup. And for the OP's original problem in the title of this thread, you can show him (and us) how to clean up the chroma shift and bleeding colors.

It should be very interesting.
