Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel DV/RES/BBPNLMIC

DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel

The DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel is a super small hardware control panel that's perfect for editing workstations and on-location use. It includes:

• 3 high-resolution weighted trackballs
• 12 control knobs for advanced primary color correction
• 18 dedicated navigation and transport keys
• USB-C for working with today's most advanced computers

For computers with conventional USB 3.0 connections, a USB 3 to USB-C cable is included. The DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel is fully powered over USB, allowing it to be run directly from a laptop in the field, making it ideal for on-set grading.

Work Faster and Get More Creative Control!

Whether you're just getting started or are a professional colorist, DaVinci Resolve color control panels let you work faster and be more creative. The panels provide fluid, hands-on control over multiple parameters simultaneously, giving you more creative options and enabling you to work much faster than with a mouse. Designed in collaboration with the world's leading colorists, all panels feature a logical layout that places the most important controls under your natural hand positions, allowing for quick work. All knobs, dials, and buttons are high quality and custom-designed to provide the perfect amount of resistance for accurate fine-tuning of any parameter.

Three Panels to Choose From

With three panels to choose from, it's easy to find one that perfectly fits your job and project scope:

• DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel: Incredibly compact while featuring dozens of professional color controls. It fits perfectly next to a keyboard and is great for on-set grading with a laptop.
• DaVinci Resolve Mini Panel: Ideal for freelance artists needing a fully featured portable panel that can be set up at home or moved between jobs.
• DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel: Designed for professional color suites on feature film, television, and commercial projects.

All three panels have similar layouts, making it easy to move up when you're ready!

DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel

This low-profile panel features 3 high-resolution trackballs and 12 precision machined knobs to access the primary color correction tools. There are buttons for switching between log and primary wheels, a key for full-screen playback, and a set of keys for common features and workspace navigation.

DaVinci Resolve Mini Panel

This compact panel offers a massive number of controls! You get everything on the Micro Panel as well as buttons for switching tools, adding color corrector nodes, applying secondary grades, and using Power Windows. The LCD screens at the top display menus and controls for adjusting the selected tool.

DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel

Designed in collaboration with professional colorists, the DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel allows you to have quick, one-touch access to virtually every parameter in the program. A fourth trackball controls the luminance and color balance of the image without needing to toggle trackball settings.

Professional Trackballs

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 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

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 tight deadlines. The DaVinci Resolve Micro 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, allowing for easy experimentation with new looks!

Y Lift, Y Gamma, and Y Gain

The dedicated lift, gamma, and gain knobs, sometimes referred to as shadows, midtones, and highlights, allow you to adjust the luminance or brightness of each specific area of an image's tonal range. With these specific controls, you can adjust brightness without affecting color saturation.

Contrast and Pivot

Contrast is used to change the tonal difference between light and dark parts of an image. Pivot adjusts contrast balance, which can offset the contrast tonal ranges. Once contrast is set, use pivot to refine the tonal center of tonality, brightening or darkening the image while retaining contrast.

Midtone Detail

Increasing or decreasing midtone detail changes the contrast on edge details in an image. Adjusting midtone detail changes the perception of sharpness and definition. It can be used to accentuate the stubble on an actor's face, make a scene look sharper, or to gently defocus skin for beauty work.

Color Boost

Color boost intelligently adjusts areas of low saturation in an image while leaving heavily saturated areas alone. This results in a more subtle and natural increase of color. Sometimes referred to as vibrance, color boost is a great way to make colors pop without over-saturating the entire image.

Shadows and Highlights

Shadow and highlight knobs let you lighten and darken shadow detail or retrieve blown-out highlights in high dynamic range images. They do not affect the midtones, allowing you to achieve a smooth blend and more natural result between the retrieved areas of the image and the unadjusted midtones.

Saturation

Use to adjust overall image saturation. At higher values, colors appear more intense, while at lower values color diminishes. Saturation can be decreased completely until all color is gone, leaving a grayscale image. Combine with contrast and pivot to produce striking black and white imagery.

Hue

The hue knob lets you rotate all hues in an image or selected area around the perimeter of the color wheel. The default setting is 50, which retains the original unaffected distribution of hues. Use with secondary selections to quickly adjust specific hue ranges, like blue skies or green trees.

Luminance Mix

The luminance mix control changes the balance between your color adjustments and Y, or luminance-only adjustments. When using the Y channel lift, gamma, and gain controls, a luminance mix of 100 lets you adjust color independent of brightness, which is ideal for color balancing and matching footage.

Quickly Change Tools

Dozens of creative color grading, effects, and technical tools are organized in DaVinci Resolve's color page in the form of individual palettes. This way, the program can feature a variety of intensive toolkits that support a wide range of workflows while keeping the interface tidy and user intuitive. The DaVinci Resolve Mini Panel and DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel include dedicated feature buttons that let you quickly access the color page palettes, so you don't have to switch back and forth between the mouse and panel. With the push of a button, you can easily access tools such as the RAW palette, primary color correctors, curves, qualifiers, windows, tracker, and many more.

Primary Color Correction

Primary bars allow more subtle changes to individual color channels and luminance than trackballs. DaVinci Resolve Mini Panel and Advanced Panel let you adjust primary bars in their displays. Rotate several knobs at once to quickly achieve a look without having to switch between bars with a mouse.

Custom and HSL Curves

Custom curves can be used to make precise adjustments to image luminance and chrominance. Isolate color channels using the buttons above the displays and rotate the knobs to adjust channel luminance in 20 increments. Use the soft keys over the displays to access the full range of HSL curves.

Power Windows

The Advanced and Mini Panels let you create Power Windows, which are shape-based objects used for targeting corrections to a part of the image. You can create different window shapes such as squares, circles, polygons, or gradients! Then position, resize, and grade the windows with the primary tools.
