The Mini panel is a well-constructed metal console with precision trackballs, rings, knobs and buttons. This has earned them an international Design Team of the Year award from the Red Dot Awards last year. These panels continue with Blackmagic’s modern industrial design style. I have to say, it was love at first sight. If you work as a DIT (digital imaging technician) in the field or on-set, you most likely use Resolve, making these panels the perfect addition to your toolkit.īlackmagic Design loaned me a Resolve Mini panel for about two weeks for this review. However, these panels are designed for more than just editors. If you color correct more than 50%, then the Mini is the better bet. If you are an editor who uses Resolve for color correction, but that’s less than 50% of your workload, then the Micro is probably the right panel for you. The Micro is the trackball section of the Mini, without the Mini’s tilted backplane. The Mini is essentially a three-trackball subset of the center section of the larger panel. The Mini and Micro panels are designed to be more portable than the Advanced panel. It’s a large, three-module console with four trackball/ring controls in the center section. Obviously, the Advanced panel is for serious, dedicated color correction facilities with the traffic to support that investment. By introducing these new panels, he hopes to get more of these users involved in the color correction side of Resolve.īlackmagic Design now offers three DaVinci Resolve panels: Advanced ($29,995), Mini ($2,995) and Micro ($995). According to Petty more people are using Resolve to edit than to color correct. At the beginning of March, he introduced two new color correction control panels as companion tools to the company’s DaVinci Resolve editing and grading solution. But Grant Petty and Blackmagic Design have set out to change that. Much of that dexterity has been lost, thanks to the ubiquity of software-based user interfaces for applications running on general purpose computers and controlled by a mouse. These enabled operational speed and experienced editors could drive these rooms like a virtuoso pianist. CMX keyboards, Grass Valley switchers, ADOs – you name it. I started my editing career in the era of linear editing suites, where dedicated control panels ruled.
