About The DaVinci Resolve
Control Panels
There are three DaVinci Resolve control panel options available and each are designed to meet
modern workflow ergonomics and ease of use so colorists can quickly and accurately construct
both simple and complex creative grades with minimal fatigue.
This chapter provides details of the each of the panel functions and should be read in
conjunction with the previous grading chapters to get the best from your panel.
The DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel is ideal for edit suites that need a professional grading panel
for occasional grades or quick adjustments to shots. You will also find it on set where its small
size, portability, and low power needs are ideal for those on the move.
DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel
For many facilities the DaVinci Resolve Mini Panel is an elegant, compact yet powerful full
featured grading panel. The direct selection palette keys, soft knobs, and menus offer
considerably more flexibility than the Micro panel and a better grading experience as a result.
DaVinci Resolve Mini Panel
For the ultimate grading panel to make an impact on your clients and give you the speed for
long and complex grading sessions the DaVinci Resolve Advanced control panels features
dozens of keys and menu driven soft knobs so grading operations are just a keystroke or
twoaway. With high resolution liquid crystal displays (LCD) and backlit hard keys to
accommodate adarkened grading environment. The color and intensity of the keys and the
LCD panel brightness are user programmable, so each colorist can set up his/her personal
panelconfiguration.
