Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Micro Color Panel

Powerful color panel gives you all the control you need to create cinematic images. Includes controls for refined color grading including adding windows. Connects via Bluetooth or USB-C. The trackballs let you adjust the colors in an image based on lift, gamma and gain tonal ranges. Unlike a mouse and keyboard, you can manipulate multiple trackballs simultaneously to create unique effects.

The smooth gliding rings around the trackballs let you set master levels and establish dynamic contrast. Keys above each trackball reset the color adjustment, level adjustment or both. Three keys at the top of the DaVinci Resolve Mini and Micro Color Panels let you switch between primary and log wheel modes, activate offset, temperature and tint controls and turn on your full screen viewer output. The DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel has a fourth master gain trackball to adjust the entire image.

Primary adjustment controls affect the luminance and chrominance of your entire image using a variety of tools that target specific tonal and hue ranges. These tools represent the most common adjustments required to produce dynamic imagery, making them a popular choice for photographers, graphic designers and colorists working on a tight deadline.

The DaVinci Resolve Micro Color Panel and Mini Panel include 12 primary color correction control knobs that make it easy to quickly adjust image contrast, saturation, hue, temperature, tint, midtone detail, color boost, shadows, highlights and more. All knobs can be pressed to instantly reset the control so you can easily experiment with new looks!

Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Monitor 3G

The UltraStudio Monitor 3G Playback Device from Blackmagic Design allows you to monitor your HDMI or 3G-SDI video directly via your computer's Thunderbolt 3 output port.

This unit supports resolutions up to 1080p/50 and 60p; in addition, this device lets you edit without a delay using a large-screen TV, projector, or monitor with an SDI (BNC) or HDMI input.

Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor

The Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor features a machined metal search dial in a design that includes only the specific keys needed for editing. The unit also has Bluetooth with internal battery for connecting wirelessly, or you can connect via USB-C. That means it's more portable than a full sized keyboard.

Search Dial Control & Transport Control

The DaVinci Resolve keyboards allow a better quality editing experience because they create a physical connection to the edit that’s deeper than a simple computer mouse. The search dial is a machined metal design so it has a weighted feel and it can be spun fast to move up and down the timeline quickly.

However, the search dial is more than this because it can be used for live trimming. Simply press one of the trim buttons and the search dial will transform into a large adjustment knob for real time, precise trimming. Once you've experienced trimming with the search dial, it's virtually impossible to go back to a mouse.

Hardware control panels are perfect for fast playback control. Instantly start and stop playback using the "space bar" style button that's positioned so it can be pressed with your thumb. The shuttle, jog and scroll buttons change the function of the search dial, so you can edit fast and accurately.

Source Tape For Scrolling Clips

Traditional edit software uses thousands of clips to organize your media, so you need to constantly click and drag clips to edit. That’s too slow for work such as TVCs, news, promos and training videos. However old tape based linear editing had the advantage of all media being played from a videotape, so you could simply fast forward and rewind to see all your shots.

Now the cut page has a modern version of the videotape and it’s called the "source tape". Simply push the source button and use the search dial to scroll through all your media! Plus, the current clip is highlighted live in the bin. After the edit the viewer will stay in the source tape so you can move to the next shot faster.

Fast In & Out Points

Entering in and out points is the most used function in editing, so the speed editor keyboard includes large in and out point buttons that you can easily locate by feel. That’s perfect for two handed editing where you're using your right hand for transport control and your left hand is placing in and out points and performing edits. You can simply scroll along with the search dial and place in and out points anywhere you want.

Once the in and out points are set, just reach your fingers up to the edit function buttons to perform the edit. The in and out points can also be used to focus the source tape. Then you can change the source tape back to the whole bin by pressing the escape key.

Intelligent Keyboard Edit Modes

Editing with a keyboard is different to editing with a mouse, so the cut page editing functions have been upgraded to take advantage of the speed of a keyboard. The edit functions are intelligent and use the "smart indicator" in the timeline to work out where to insert, so most of the time you don't need to place in or out points in the timeline to do an edit. They are located just above the in and out keys, so are easy to locate by feel.

Plus each time you edit, the cut page won't waste time switching over to the timeline, allowing you to stay in the source tape and visually browse, placing clips continuously. That's much faster as you can just keep throwing clips into the timeline.

Search Dial Live Trimming

With a large high quality search dial built into the panel, you get an extremely accurate way to trim shots. With the search dial being such a physically large control, it completely transforms how it feels to trim shots. Plus it’s much faster too. The trim buttons will change the search dial into a trim control and you simply hold the trim buttons and rotate the search dial.

This means you can select various trim modes with your left hand while adjusting the trim with your right. It's extremely fast and the smart indicator in the timeline will let you know which edit you're trimming. Just move along the timeline and live trim edits. It’s a whole new way to work.

Function Keys

The DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor eliminates the large QWERTY keyboard for a smaller more portable design, so the function button area includes only the controls you need for editing. Some of the enhanced function keys on the DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor are not even available on the full sized editor keyboard. Plus, some keys have an alternative function where you can press and hold or double press to get a second function using the same key.

That means you need less keys for a more portable design, but it still retains a lot of editing power. The keys are in a separate group so you can find the key you need by feel and operate faster than a regular keyboard.

Sync Bin Multi Camera Selection

The camera number section lets you select the cameras when using the cut page sync bin. Plus, if you press a camera number while turning the search dial, the selected camera will be applied to the timeline in real time as you jog forward.

This feature is called live override and on the speed editor panel you can do it momentarily by holding the camera button, or you can latch it on using the live override button. When live override is latched on, the buttons light up and you can select cameras just like a production switcher. You will see a multi-view and you can just cut from camera to camera. Plus, this section even has the video only and audio only buttons for greater editing control.

Bluetooth & USB Control

The DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor model includes built in Bluetooth so you can use the keyboard without messy wires, and you can even use it in conjunction with your regular computer keyboard. That’s perfect for using it with a laptop. You can also use the keyboard via USB if required and the USB connection will also charge the internal battery. With Bluetooth and a built in battery, the keyboard is extremely portable.

Blackmagic Design Cloud Store Mini 8TB (4 x 2TB)

Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini lets you share your media files globally, eliminating the high cost of collaborating with talented editors and colourists around the world! The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is storage that syncs and shares media with Dropbox and Google Drive.

It even understands proxy workflows, so a whole timeline and its media can be shared in minutes. The internal memory core is so fast it can saturate the 10G Ethernet port to its theoretical maximum speed, even with multiple users connected. File access is very low latency, so responsiveness is fast. That means it's perfect for sharing large media files between editors, colourists, audio engineers and VFX artists.

Compact and Portable Design

The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini features a compact rack mount design that's very portable and whisper quiet. Internally it has an array of 4 flash memory cards working in parallel for higher speeds. The 10G Ethernet port and the 1G Ethernet port operate as a 2-port network switch, which is great if you don't have a 10G Ethernet network, as you can connect the 10G port directly into your computer and the 1G port to your existing network.

If you need to access files quickly, then the USB Type-C port also operates as a network port - just plug it into your computer. There is also an HDMI monitoring output so you can watch a live graphic view of the storage operating on a TV or monitor.

Flash Memory Allows for Multiple Simultaneous Users

The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is available with 8TB of flash memory, so you have lots of space for your files. That's fantastic for television production, as it's small enough to be portable, but it has enough storage space for lots of video media.

M.2 flash memory cards are used for extreme reliability, high access speeds, and zero seek times. Plus, the four M.2 cards are arranged in a parallel RAID 0 group so they can operate much faster than a single card. That ensures enough speed to keep up with the 10G Ethernet connection. Plus, in the future, as new larger M.2 cards are released, the flash memory cards can be replaced with new ones. That helps ensure a very long life.
