Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel

Master Precision Color Grading with the Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel

Designed in collaboration with professional colorists, the Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel is a significant step up in functionality from the Micro or Mini panel. This DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel consists of a main console and two auxiliary consoles, one on each side, as well as a slide-out keyboard in the center console. It allows you to have quick, one-touch access to virtually every parameter in the program and a fourth trackball controls the luminance and color balance of the image, without needing to toggle trackball settings.

The center console incorporates four high-resolution, weighted trackballs and 30 soft, customizable control knobs for accessing color-correction tools in the Resolve software. The custom control knobs feature 4096 steps per rotation and push-button reset so you can achieve high-quality and precise color correction using the DaVinci Resolve system. You can easily control the image sections via keys located for easy access at your natural hand positions. Lift, gamma, and gain adjustments along with RGB control are achieved via trackballs. Menus and indicators are visible via five high-resolution LCD screens that offer a view of the functions of all the knobs and buttons. Soft knobs that can precisely control parameters via single touch are provided, and no electrical contact eliminates wearing out of the knobs. Aesthetically illuminated keys are backlit using RGB color and intensity.

More details:

Keyboard - The center panel incorporates a slide-out keyboard that is useful when naming or renaming files, and it can be neatly tucked away when not in use.

Luminance

• Y lift control: Adjust the contrast of the image in the darker areas, specifically in the Y (luminance) channel only. This adjustment allows for changing the black point without changing saturation.
• Y gamma control: Adjust the contrast of the image in the mid-tone areas, specifically in the Y (luminance) channel only. This control helps add depth and extra vibrancy to shots.
• Y gain: You can reduce hot spots or tweak the whites to define a look.

Contrast

• Contrast control: Increase contrast to make the blacks darker and the whites brighter, or decrease contrast to do the opposite.
• Pivot: Change the center of tonality about which dark and bright parts of the image are stretched or narrowed during a contrast adjustment.
• Mid-tone detail: Affect the contrast of regions of the image with high edge detail to increase or decrease the perception of image sharpness and definition. It's often used for softening facial features, making it popular for beauty shots.

Detail

• Color boost control: Raise the saturation in regions of the image with low saturation while leaving properly saturated areas alone. Also known as a vibrance operation, this is useful for adding color without oversaturating the image.
• Shadow control: Selectively lighten or darken shadow detail without affecting your image's mid-tones.
• Highlight control: Enable retrieving blown-out highlight detail in high dynamic range media by lowering this parameter. This allows you to achieve a smooth blend between the retrieved highlights and unadjusted mid-tones, for a natural-looking image.

Saturation - Increases or decreases overall image saturation; you can turn your color image into a grayscale image with this control.

• Hue control: Rotates all hues of the image 360° around the color wheel. The default setting is 50, which retains the original distribution of hues.
• Luminance mix control: Controls the balance between the YRGB adjustments and Y-only adjustments made using the Y channel lift, gamma, and gain controls.

T-Bar Panel - The panel features a T-bar mix/wipe control and a number of menu and function keys. You can position the T-bar panel on either side of the Trackball panel.

Transport Panel - The Transport panel features the timeline transport controls and a jog/shuttle control, as well as a numerical keypad and associated function keys. The Transport panel can be positioned on either side of the Trackball panel.
