The Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel is a portable control surface designed for professional colour grading with DaVinci Resolve software. It features high-resolution trackballs, precision knobs, and transport keys for a faster workflow. It connects via USB-C or Bluetooth and even has a slot for mounting an iPad Pro.

Primary Adjustment Controls

Control knobs are grouped into four sets of three knobs.

Luminance

• Y Lift control: Adjust the contrast of the image in the darker areas, specifically in the Y (luminance) channel only. This adjustment allows changing the black point without changing saturation.
• Y Gamma control: Adjust the contrast of the image in the mid-tone areas, specifically in the Y (luminance) channel only. This control helps add depth and extra vibrancy to shots.
• Y Gain control: Adjust the contrast of the image in the highlight areas, specifically in the Y (luminance) channel only. This adjustment allows you to change the highlights without changing saturation.

Contrast

• Contrast Control: Increase contrast to make the blacks darker and the whites brighter, or decrease contrast to do the opposite.
• Pivot: Change the center of tonality about which dark and bright parts of the image are stretched or narrowed during a contrast adjustment.
• Mid-Tone Detail: Affect the contrast of regions of the image with high edge detail to increase or decrease the perception of image sharpness and definition. Often used for softening facial features, making it popular for beauty shots.

Detail

• Colour Boost Control: Raise the saturation in regions of the image with low saturation while leaving properly saturated areas alone. Also known as a vibrance operation, this is useful for adding color without oversaturating the image.
• Shadow Control: Selectively lighten or darken shadow detail without affecting your image's mid-tones.
• Highlight Control: Enable retrieving blown-out highlight detail in high dynamic range media by lowering this parameter. This allows you to achieve a smooth blend between the retrieved highlights and unadjusted mid-tones for a natural-looking image.

Saturation

• Increases or decreases overall image saturation. You can turn your color image into a grayscale image with this control.
• Hue Control: Rotate all hues of the image around 360° of the color wheel. The default setting is 50, which retains the original distribution of hues.
• Luminance Mix Control: Control the balance between the YRGB adjustments and Y-only adjustments made using the Y channel lift, gamma, and gain controls.
