The DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel
The ultimate grading panel to give you the speed for long and complex grading sessions, and to make a lasting impact on clients visiting your suite or looking in on you as they’re videoconferencing during a remote grading session. The DaVinci Resolve Advanced control panels features dozens of fixed palette keys and menu driven soft knobs and buttons so most grading operations are just a keystroke or two away. High resolution liquid crystal displays (LCD) and backlit keys accommodate a typical darkened grading environment, with LCD panel and key color and intensity being user customizable, so each colorist can set up their preferred panel configuration.
DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel
The original key configuration for the DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel was updated in late 2020 to add new features and capabilities, while eliminating redundancy and making better use of the full complement of available buttons. Owners of the original panel can update to the new layout, but both the original and new layout are described in separate sections of this chapter.
Updating the Control Panels Firmware
From time to time, Blackmagic updates the functionality of the Control Panels through firmware changes. New firmware for the Micro and Mini Panels can be checked for and installed by opening the separate DaVinci Control Panels Setup utility that is installed by default with DaVinci Resolve. Firmware for the Advanced Panel is updated directly from DaVinci Resolve automatically.
