DAVINCI RESOLVE CONTROL SURFACE 404
Trackball Panel
The center panel has the traditional four trackballs, each with a surrounding control ring and no end
stop in either direction. Three variable controls are on each side of the panel, three keys above the
trackballs, three below the left and right most trackballs, and on the LCD panel, three LCD displays,
each with eight variable controls and four keys. The LCD screens are menu-driven and thus the
controls, soft keys, and the display itself depends on the current mode. The menu structure will be
covered later in this User Manual.
The center panel also offers a slide-out keyboard for naming files, as well as for a number of other
operations. The shortcut keys are covered later in this User Manual.
The right most trackball operates similar to a mouse and can also double as an Offset Control. The
other three trackballs are in the traditional DaVinci format (from left to right): Lift, Gamma, and Gain
configuration (Lowlights, Mid-tones, and Highlights).
The far left trackball is Lift control, which provides RGB balance adjustment in the darker range the
image. The next trackball to the right is Gamma control, which provides control over the mid-range
values of the image. The third from the left is the Gain control, which effects the brighter portions of
the image.
The control ring surrounding these trackballs provides amplitude control of the associated Luminance,
Lift, Gamma, or Gain range of the image.
On the left side of the panel are three Luminance knobs. From top to bottom they are Luminance Gain,
Luminance Hue, and Luminance Lift.
