DAVINCI RESOLVE FOR MAC - CERTIFIED CONFIGURATION GUIDE
You can use DaVinci Resolve with your mouse and
keyboard, with a pen and tablet and also with
one of the supported third party control panels.
DaVinci Resolve supports the Avid Artist Color,
JLCooper Eclipse CX, or either of the Tangent
Devices WAVE or Element control panels.
Refer to the instructions from the panel vendor
and review with the directions below to configure
the panel to work with DaVinci Resolve.
After first starting the Resolve application, open
the Hardware Setup tab by selecting ‘Preferences’
from the DaVinci Resolve application. In the
Hardware settings window, select the Control
Panel tab and select the control panel you
have connected to your Mac. Save the updated
preferences and restart the DaVinci Resolve
application.
The Tangent Devices WAVE control panel is a USB
device and requires no special configuration for use
with DaVinci Resolve. Just plug it in to your Mac and
select in Resolve. The Tangent Devices Element
Bundle is a set of four USB panels that connect to
your Mac via a 4-port USB 2.0 hub. You will need
to download and install the 'Tangent Hub support
pack' to use the panels with DaVinci Resolve. Once
the Tangent Hub is installed, plug the panels into
your Mac and select in Resolve. The Tangent Hub
installer for Mac OS X can be downloaded from
http://www.tangentdevices.co.uk/support.asp
If using a JLCooper Eclipse CX, follow the Eclipse
CX documentation to connect and configure it
with an Ethernet port on your Mac. Then launch
Resolve, use the Preferences to select the Eclipse
CX panel and click “Save.” If you have changed
the IP address or port from the default panel
settings, enter the IP address and port number
for your panel and then click “Save.” Restart the
DaVinci Resolve application and you will see the
panel menus as soon as the application starts.
The Avid Artist Color panels installation is generally
quite straight forward. If your Mac is connected
to a network with a DHCP server, just connect
an Ethernet cable from the panel to the same
network switch. Install the EUcontrol application
that comes with the panel, or download it from the
Avid support site.
Launch the application and you will notice the E
icon towards the right side of the top menu bar.
When the icon is solid, the panel is communicating
with the EUcontrol application and, once selected
in the DaVinci Resolve preferences, the panel will
display Resolve menus at the next restart of the
Resolve application.
If you are not using a DHCP server, refer to the Avid
Artist Color installation instructions for setting the
IP address of the panel and Mac. It should take
just 30 seconds to set.
