That is the perfect solution. You'd have to provide a fast memory with a gain
constant for RGB at each pixel. But, that's no big deal anymore. If there's
an accessible place to put it in the digital, that would be best. Else, you're
going to have to convert to digital to do the lookup. The mapping could be
determined automatically with a PC-controlled video pattern generator and
photometer.
So, probably about $100,000 of engineering time and equipment and you'll be
all set. How much were you going to charge? :)
The AutoCal option would allow the user to test and adjust periodically.
