This device is aimed at providing a budget-friendly alternative for users of the DaVinci Resolve editing software, offering enhanced control compared to traditional mouse-based editing.
The panel was developed with input from top colorists and includes three high-resolution trackballs and twelve precision machined control knobs. These components are designed for adjusting primary grading parameters such as Y Lift, Y Gamma, Y Gain, and more. The design also incorporates navigation and transport keys for quick command execution, promoting a more efficient workflow.
Connectivity and Portability
Designed for portability, the panel is compact, akin in size to a computer keyboard. It features a slot for mounting an Apple iPad Pro and can be powered by an internal battery. Connectivity options include Bluetooth and USB-C, allowing for flexible setup alongside a computer or laptop.
User Experience
The Micro Color Panel is designed to facilitate a fluid editing process, allowing simultaneous control over multiple parameters. This setup enables faster operation than is possible with a mouse. The arrangement of buttons and controls is similar to those found on Blackmagic Design’s larger panels, which helps users familiar with those devices transition smoothly to the Micro Color Panel. Key features like adjusting power window shapes or resizing input images are controlled via the same trackballs and rings used for grading.
The DaVinci Resolve Micro Color Panel combines portability with powerful features, designed to enhance the editing and color grading experience for DaVinci Resolve users. The product’s affordable price and compact design are likely to attract both new and professional editors looking for efficient, hands-on control in their video production workflows.
