Oliver I know you know this but that is the exact reason for the bars in the first place. Yes in the digital world of which digibeta was at the forefront along with D2 unity started to really be useable although not so much in the D2 world as it interfaced into mostly analogue environments. If they had to take the machine out of preset to get the bars correct that means they were setting things up correctly for the program that follows. Whatever happened to the bars also happened to the program content. That's the whole point of a reference. How the bars got off points to the kind of system errors I've mentioned in this thread and it's why relaying internal bars throws the whole concept of "Reference Bars" out the window.

The people specifying these things are set for certain codecs, like ProRes, and are running automated processes. Load the file and send it to the server. Bars are pointless because they have no way to change it anyway. And besides, the networks are no different. I've had complaints before from Discovery QC because they had to take the Digibeta out of preset in order to set up to bars. Sounds like bars are pretty useless to me there as well.
