While we showed the “Wave” at NAB, we are working on a SDK for the other panel vendors so Resolve on Mac will support a number of other panels soon. Mouse or multi-touch trackpad operation is fine if you have a lot of time, for on-set or quick pre-grades on an assistant station (and on the plane flying home from NAB), however for a full grade, one of the biggest limitations to the creative flow when grading would be adjusting just one function at a time…i.e. Resolve can be operated with a mouse and keyboard (with shortcut keys) as the GUI offers more than just feedback on status it also provides click and slide functionality for most operations. Assuming ~£1k software, ~£2k Mac Pro, ~£1k controller, ~£1k I/O card, ~£3k grade monitor, ~£1k waveform monitor. **Very minimum specs for a broadcast capable suite, from the information available. Please correct me on any mistakes you feel I might have made. *These are my speculated specifications based on the press releases and Walter Biscardi’s information he gathered when speaking to Grant Petty of BMD. Personally? I’m looking at using two machines, one as an encoding/assisting machine and one as the main suite… Unless Apple give me some more PCIe Slots and a few USB3 holes that is!! I believe ~£17k~£20k gets you something very client friendly. Obviously you’ll be wanting to add a fast RAID system to that, or integrate it into a fiber network, as well as maybe getting the full BMD controller, multiple graphics cards and correctly controlling the conditions of your studio. – Waveform Monitor (Suggest BMD Ultrascope with a PC, or something like a Tektronix)Īll in all, I estimate the minimum** rig to cost in the region of £9,000. – Grade Monitor (Search the forums but recommended models include FSI, Cinetal, Panasonic Pro Series) – BMD I/O Card (Decklink HD Extreme – Other I/O expected to be compatible)
– Grade Controller (currently only Tangent Wave or DaVinci Panels work – Othe panels expected to be compatible) – Intel Mac Pro with nVidia card (GTX 285 is recommended so far) Minimum requirements sort of look like this so far* Can’t remember where I saw the quote from BMD (possibly from Walter) but the answer was a clear no.
