Its comprehensive set of controls and ergonomic design make it the ultimate tool for achieving precise color grading and fast, efficient editing in DaVinci Resolve.

Three High-Resolution Trackballs: At the heart of the Advanced Panel are its three high-resolution trackballs, which provide intuitive control over lift, gamma, and gain adjustments. These trackballs allow colorists to make fine-tuned adjustments to color balance and exposure with the smooth, tactile feedback that professionals require. The precise control offered by these trackballs is essential for achieving the perfect look in any scene, from subtle adjustments to dramatic color shifts.

Dedicated Control Knobs: Surrounding the trackballs are 12 dedicated control knobs, each of which provides immediate access to key color correction parameters. These knobs allow you to adjust contrast, saturation, hue, and luminance with ease, offering a direct and responsive way to manipulate your images. The ability to make quick adjustments on the fly without diving into menus is a major time-saver, especially in fast-paced post-production workflows.

LCD Displays: The Advanced Panel features high-resolution LCD displays above each control section, which provide real-time feedback on the current settings, modes, and parameter adjustments. These displays ensure that you always know exactly what you’re adjusting, reducing the chance of errors and speeding up the grading process.

Soft Knobs and Buttons: In addition to the primary controls, the Advanced Panel includes soft knobs and buttons that dynamically change based on the task at hand. These controls offer quick access to secondary functions and fine-tuning options, allowing you to tailor the panel to your specific workflow and the needs of the project.

Transport Controls: For efficient navigation through the timeline, the panel includes integrated transport controls. These controls allow you to jog, shuttle, and play through your timeline with precision, making it easy to review edits, mark in and out points, and make quick cuts.

Customizable User Keys: The panel features programmable user keys that can be customized to suit your workflow. Whether you need quick access to specific tools, shortcuts, or macros, these keys allow you to personalize the panel for maximum efficiency.

Powerful Grading Tools: The Advanced Panel offers direct access to DaVinci Resolve’s powerful grading tools, including curves, qualifiers, windows, and tracker. These tools are essential for performing detailed and precise color corrections, enabling you to shape the look of your footage with a high degree of control. The integration of these tools into the panel means you can work more fluidly, without constantly switching between the keyboard and mouse.

Multiple Page Navigation: Navigating through the various toolsets in DaVinci Resolve is made easy with dedicated page navigation buttons. Whether you’re working on color wheels, curves, or keying, you can quickly jump to the appropriate page, ensuring that all the tools you need are always within reach.

Extensive Connectivity: The DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel connects to your computer via USB or Ethernet, ensuring responsive and reliable communication between the hardware and software. This connectivity is crucial for maintaining the speed and accuracy needed in professional post-production workflows.

Ergonomic Design: Designed with long sessions in mind, the Advanced Panel features an ergonomic layout that makes it comfortable to use for extended periods. Its durable build is designed to withstand the demands of professional use, ensuring that it remains reliable in the most rigorous environments.

Scalable Workflow Integration: The Advanced Panel is fully integrated with DaVinci Resolve, providing a seamless experience that allows you to take full advantage of the software’s capabilities. This integration ensures that your workflow is efficient, whether you’re working on a single project or managing multiple high-profile productions.

Multi-User Collaboration: For studios and post-production houses where collaboration is key, the Advanced Panel supports workflows that allow multiple users to work on the same project simultaneously. This feature is particularly beneficial in larger productions, where different team members may be responsible for various aspects of the grading and editing process.
