Blackmagic Design has introduced a video tutorial on utilizing the DaVinci Resolve Micro Color Panel, compatible with Mac, Windows, and iPad.
Key Features
The DaVinci Resolve Micro Color Panel is specifically designed for use with DaVinci Resolve software and offers the following features:
Three High-Resolution Trackballs
Precision Machined Control Knobs
Navigation and Transport Keys
Bluetooth or USB-C Connectivity
Mounting Slot for iPad Pro
Design and Functionality
The panel is designed to work seamlessly with the Apple iPad Pro, providing professional color control in a user-friendly interface. It enhances the color correction and workflow efficiency of DaVinci Resolve Studio software compared to using a keyboard and mouse. The panel includes three high-resolution trackballs, 12 control knobs, and multiple buttons for adjusting parameters such as Y lift, Y gamma, Y gain, and contrast.
Primary Adjustment Controls
The controls are positioned similarly to those on advanced versions of the panel, allowing for adjustments of the power window shape, size, position, and softness, as well as resizing the input image. The Micro Color Panel is compact, about the size of a standard keyboard, and features a slot to mount an iPad Pro for use as a software display. It connects via Bluetooth or USB-C and runs on either an internal battery or USB-C power.
