Blackmagic Design BMD-DV/RES/AAAPNLMIC/VI DaVinci Resolve Micro Color Panel (VI)

Compact Color Grading Panel Built for Professional Workflows

The DaVinci Resolve Micro Color Panel (VI) is a streamlined yet fully capable grading surface designed for editors and colorists working in DaVinci Resolve. It delivers hands-on control of essential grading functions in a portable, desk-friendly layout. With three trackballs, twelve adjustment knobs, and programmable function buttons, this panel makes precise color correction fast and intuitive. Whether you're fine-tuning contrast, adjusting curves, or pushing primary grades, this panel puts critical tools at your fingertips.

Three Weighted Trackballs for Precise Grading Control

At the heart of the panel are three high-resolution trackballs, each surrounded by rings that let you adjust lift, gamma, and gain with precision. These are the same tactile tools used in high-end color bays, giving you accurate tonal control over shadows, midtones, and highlights. The mechanical response is smooth and consistent, providing real-time feedback that’s ideal for professional color grading workflows.

Dedicated Knobs for Key Image Adjustments

Twelve rotary knobs on the top row of the panel are assigned to the most frequently used grading parameters. These include contrast, saturation, hue, midtone detail, color boost, and temperature, among others. With these controls always within reach, you can respond quickly to creative needs or technical fixes without diving through software menus. Each knob gives you precise, incremental control to help you get exactly the result you’re aiming for.

Transport Controls and Workflow Optimization

The Micro Color Panel includes built-in transport controls to speed up your editing sessions. Easily play, pause, or scrub through your timeline while applying grades in real time. This tight integration reduces the need to jump between the mouse and keyboard, streamlining your creative process. Quick-access buttons also enable additional functionality such as still grabs, looping playback, and viewer toggling.

Tablet Slot for Reference Monitoring or Companion Apps

An integrated tablet slot at the top of the panel is designed to securely hold an iPad or similar tablet. This gives you an extra display option for scopes, reference stills, or secondary interface elements. The panel layout keeps everything compact and efficient—ideal for mobile colorists, small studio spaces, or live production setups.

Wired or Wireless Operation with Built-In Battery

You can connect the panel to your system using USB-C for stable wired performance, or pair it via Bluetooth 5.1 LE when working untethered. An internal rechargeable battery supports extended use when away from power, making the panel flexible enough for remote work, field editing, or multi-location workflows.

Perfect for DaVinci Resolve Color Workflows

Designed specifically for DaVinci Resolve, this panel lets you take full advantage of the software’s powerful grading tools without relying on your mouse. It’s the same workflow trusted by post-production professionals worldwide—just packed into a more compact form. Whether you're handling corporate work, indie films, social content, or commercials, this panel will enhance your efficiency and grading precision.
