Upscaled dv for anamorphic and want to know about adjusting gamma etc.

Question

I took my dv ntsc 4:3 (3:2 really shot on dvcam on the dvx100a) timeline and nested it in an anamorphic sequence to render out a quicktime with the 1:85 matte on it and to apply an rgb limiter as when it upscales some of my broadcast safe get hot again in the high end. This output is going to a theatrical presentation. Unfortunately now they are only going to show it with dvcam and want this anamorphic output so it matches another filmmaker's settings and the projectionist doesn't have to get confused (?) so anyway...
Back to my question...when I upscale this to 133.33 to fill the screen in the anamorphic of course things get washed out...I readjusted gamma to 1.05 which is subtle but brings the blacks back...I do have a bunch of monitors but I distrust that on my little 14" broadcast sony crt what is going to project won't be washed out so I'm relying somewhat on a sony flat screen panel with settings to match my smaller crt but by eye...
In any case anyone out there doing this a lot do you find there are general settings you use that would adjust and resaturate color and gamma levels etc. and any other levels I need worry about so the picture won't look so washed out when it's projected? Does readjusting gamma to 1.05 sound right to you or should it be more as a general thing?
I have a color balance set up for highs and mid range but don't know that I need to use them on this file which I output as an uncompressed it seems to not have lost much in the color itself it's mainly the gamma issue...I also want to get this right because it's a pain working with the uncompressed nested sequence and rendering it is extremely time consuming.
...when I output a quicktime earlier using dv ntsc compressor settings "as is" I found I would lose saturation and the picture would get dark if I applied the gamma and instead color corrected just with color balance settings and the rgb limiter.
thank you

What kind of problem are you having? I've used Netbackup for doing Oracle backups quite a bit without a problem. If you can shutdown the instances, just have a script do it before the backup starts. Usually, I do a cold backup on the weekends and then backup of the archive logs during the week to save tape space. Just stick in a little script to do a log switch before the backup starts to make sure you get the current changes. If you're running 24x7, you'll need to look at buying the RMAN module from veritas or roll your own hot backup script.
