Please excuse the delay Adrian, it's busy here:

I would export from DS to your grading system, and back, in 'graphics' 
range, otherwise your grading system won't match the pictures you see on 
your DS video monitor. The catch is you'll loose values below video 
black and above video white that would otherwise be retained.

It's useful to use video range when you want to keep those below black 
and above white values such as when you're putting log images on tape.

But, as I said, I've not used DS in a few years now and things could 
well have changed.
