[Avid-L2] OTish: Have Bars and Tone become an option? Did I miss the memo?

 

Working on a network show with major talent.  Line cut and iso's recorded to XDCam.  Everything looks good albeit a tad hot for a stage show with a full production crew.  My media was ama transcoded to Dnx 220 so just to be safe I ama link back to the XDCam material and sure enough it's hot from the source.  Nothing I wouldn't expect from a typical field camera type shoot but this is a full production crew with line feed and isos.  I go to the top of the clips and I can't find any bars and tone?  Now I do realize that our digital world is more stable with levels but with all the transcoding etc... when did putting bars and tone at the head of program and iso feeds become an option that can be skipped with a full network production crew.  I'm just a little saddened by a lack of technical discipline of the most basic nature.  Am I just being cranky to think bars and tone are part of the price of admission with a full tilt production crew?  I do realize quite often the tape ops etc... on production trucks will record router bars which may not be perfect but at least they make the effort to give the rest of the food chain a starting point.  Oh well back to the waveform, or should I just through on the legalizer and call it a day? ;-(
