Activity Forums DaVinci Resolve Control Panel Options For Mac OS Version

  • Control Panel Options For Mac OS Version

    Posted by Chris Martin on April 15, 2010 at 9:17 pm

    So if mac OS versions are limited to USB controlled panels, can anyone give me a rundown of what options are out there? I’ll assume some of the makers of ethernet only control panels might be motivated to make USB counterparts.

    Any reviews by owners much appreciated.

    At the moment, according to the published specifications, its the Tangent Wave and the proprietary DaVinci Resolve panel. Apparently the 2k+ panel will work on the linux version?

    A lot of floor-talk about supporting many more… but …” ignore the man behind the curtain.”

    Yes, the 2K (and dui) network panels will work on the Linux system, but not on the Mac system.

    Yes – I was thinking of third party options relative to mac OS. So it sounds like presently the WAVE is the only option, though my guess is other third party providers will be making USB versions where they currently are supporting only ethernet.

    I don’t know much about 3rd party panels at this point. I am hoping that people with more knowledge will respond to your query. I would be surprised if the Tangent Wave panels are all that are available with a USB interface, but maybe that’s true.

    They’re the only one’s with USB.

    Anyone left in Vegas might want to put a wager on a sudden spike in Wave panel sales.

    [Chris Martin] “Anyone left in Vegas might want to put a wager on a sudden spike in Wave panel sales.”

    Ha should have thought about that last night at the tables! Both Euphonix and JL Cooper told me they’re very very interested in supporting the resolve and have started talking to BM

    The Blackmagic DaVinci panels are USB as is the Tagent Wave. JL Cooper and Euphonix are ethernet.

    One of the guys I talked to at NAB said they had hacked the Wave to get it to work a couple of days before the show, and that Tagent was surprised to see it.

    Another Black Magic guy said that our JL Cooper would definitely be supported and others said maybe.

    Supporting a panel, no matter which port should be a fairly easy thing to accomplish if both companies put their mind to it.

    The vibe I got, was that even though most of the program was working well on the Mac, that it was really early days and nobody but the software engineers knew all that much about it. It was just too new.

    HI
    I have a Tengent CP-200 for Apple Color now, will Resolve support Tangent panel?

    The only non-DaVinci panel currently supported is the Tangent Wave(USB).

    Since there is only about 8 weeks left until the software is publicly offered, my guess is that that is going to be the way it is for the foreseeable future.
