#Tangent wave apple color software

The software is fully nodal, so you can shift the order of the correction nodes easily, as well as pull effects and keys. Also, like most other color correction tools, you can adjust the master lift, gamma and gain, as well as on the individual RGB channels. Like in Apple Color, it has curve controls, so you can adjust the curval response on the Luma, and individual red, green or blue channels.

The Resolve operates in full floating point precision and in YRGB (that's Luma channel). More buttons means faster and better control.

The ability to work with multiple GPUs makes the Linux version more viable when dealing with complex nodal grades and stereoscopic 3D. Although you cannot do a Quicktime based ingest like you can on a Mac, one of the key advantages of this is that with InfiniBand, you can bundle a few GPUs together and scale up the real time performance based on your needs.

(Yes, you can capture and go to tape on the Resolve!)įor the control device, you have the option of the Resolve control surface, which comes bundled together with the software at $29,995, or you can opt to buy the Tangent Wave for $1500.** Alternatively, you can choose to use the mouse, or a Wacom Tablet, but I would highly recommend having a control device and I will get into the reasons later.Īlternatively, if you don’t have a Mac, you can get a Linux license on top of the Resolve Control Panel for an additional $19,995. Next to that, you also need the Blackmagic Design Decklink HD Extreme 3D capture card to monitor the video as well as to interface with video decks. The reason for this is because the Nvidia cards perform all the heavy lifting of the effects work through Nvidia’s proprietary CUDA technology. The qualified graphics cards for the DaVinci Resolve are the Nvidia GTX285 and the FX4800, and the Resolve will use the stock GT 120 graphics card for display of the user interface.

You also need compatible hardware such as a Mac Pro and suitable storage to playback video in real time, such as an eSATA RAID. The software version of the DaVinci Resolve is a full featured implementation that is now available for $995. Next to that, with the Resolve for Mac, you are no longer limited to “Linux island” and you are now able to do a file ingest with an EDL, FCP’s XML or Avid’s AAF, and it is able to access codecs through Quicktime, so it supports software based codecs such ProRes and heck, even Dvcpro HD!* To those of you who have used Apple Color, moving onto the Resolve will not be that much of a leap, since you are already used to the lift, gamma and gain controls, as well as the color wheels. Imagine having a client in the room, and you are unable to properly playback the video and audio during the color grade, and that is one of the main reasons why the DaVinci Resolve is so popular in many of the highest end suites in the world. One of the main features of the Resolve is that it operates largely in real time, and plays back both video and audio, so you can have a good look and feel as you perform your color correction. I have been a big fan of digital color correction, since it was first introduced on films such as “Pleasantville” and “O Brother, Where Art Thou” and the leaps and bounds that digital color correction technology has improved over the years, means that today, it is almost like having the entire film in Photoshop! It was behind the color for Avatar, Transformers, Terminator Salvation, and many, many others.

The DaVinci Resolve is one of the most popular color correction tools used on many of your favorite Hollywood films and TV commercials. Just to be clear, I am by no means a colorist and although I have worked with Apple Color for a couple of years, seeing the de-facto standard for color correction in action was something else. The software was still in development when I met it, but already had pretty impressive features to boot. Blackmagic Design acquired Da Vinci Systems, and I had the opportunity to check out the new Resolve. This was one of the biggest news at the 2010 NAB Show.
