TL DR: Get the hardware when you need it, when its price makes sense for you and the budget.

It’s more likely that I’ll find the excuse to buy new HDR panels-if they are released, when I’m preparing for new HDR projects. In this example, we’re going to be updating DaVinci Resolve from right inside of the program, but you can also head on over the Blackmagic Design website to download any updates if you run into any problems. With your backup created and all of the data safe, it’s time to update DaVinci Resolve. Considering most of my works are still in SDR deliveries, I’m not too worried about my panels becoming obsolete any time soon. Step 2: Update the DaVinci Resolve Software. That may be true, but current panels still work for either SDR or HDR workflow. (Ironically, I feel the price of Editor Keyboard is just right and may consider getting one for next project.) I’m now glad that my decision to get one for a project was proven correct, and I would still recommend it to anyone who’s planning to edit with DaVinci Resolve.Ī rumor mill has started that this price cuts is a way for BMD to unload the inventory, before releasing new HDR-compatible panels. I knew and found it to be a bargain, especially considering the Editor Keyboard when it was $995 prior to this price cut. Just before the holiday shopping season, BlackMagic Design dropped prices on DaVinci Resolve Keyboards and Panels.Įxcept the Speed Editor, which is bumped up to $395.
