  • need advice what i need to build cheap colour grading station

    Posted by Jiwo Mahardika on January 14, 2012 at 5:05 pm

    I am a first time poster, but a long time reader. I could really use some help. i have some question, i want to buy davinci resolve software and i have a plan to build colourgrading station for myself. I already have a PC with the following specs:

    Intel core i7 @2,93Ghz
    ATI Radeon HD 4800
    16 GB 1333
    2x dell monitor
    2Tb HDD
    windows 7

    Can you please suggest what i need to complete my colourgrading Station with low budget (the davinci resolve control panel is too expensive for me ><“), i need control panel, playback, ect in other cheaper brands. i really need your help guys, thank you inadvance for answering my question.

    nb: sorry my english language is bad :peace:

    You should consult the Resolve configuration guide, do some on-line shopping, and then you’ll be ready to do some cheap colour grading.

    You could probably add one or two nVidia cuda capable cards (GTX470 or similar) and a raid to the machine you have and it would probably work fine.
