Tangent CP200

[Jake Blackstone]

Providing support in-house for third parties panels is a mistake, which continues to be propagated. Providing SDK to third parties manufacturers is the only way it should had been done. I understand, that original Wave support was done in-house for the NAB demo, but now, a year later nothing had changed. Any time there is an issue with the panel support it can only be resolved by BM, pun intended:-) There is practically no way for any kind of customization. Muscle memory is an important aspect of efficient color grading process. Forcing users into predetermined mold is not helpful and can be counterproductive. I’m happy to see an expended panel support, but, personally, instead of more panels, I’d prefer to see the release of SDK, so there would be an even wider manufacturer support and more important, an actual support from those manufacturers. I’m pretty sure, if SDK would have been out by now, there already would have been the support for CP-200. I had been told this by Tangent a year ago…

I have to agree that lack of CP200 support is the ONLY reason why I have not already purchased a Resolve system. The Wave panel is good for what it is, but is in no way a replacement for a more robust panel like the CP200’s!

I have the check to Blackmagic all written out and ready to go, but I won’t send my money to them until CP200 support is added to Resolve.

Blackmagic still saying they have no plans to support CP-200 despite requests from users and Tangent themselves, which is a shame but if it is not economical for them to do so I can understand it. I am just sad that my hardware is deciding what software I can use.
Tangent do say they are working on an open interface called TUBE that future software may use, but not sure if Resolve will be part of that

Any offers on A CP-200BK!
