This compact grading surface is engineered to deliver hands on creative control in a form factor that fits comfortably alongside a laptop or desktop workstation. Developed for colorists who need a portable yet powerful interface, it provides a comprehensive set of tools that allow nuanced image refinement without relying solely on a mouse or keyboard. Its layout incorporates three high resolution trackballs used to adjust lift, gamma and gain, with smooth rings surrounding each trackball to set master levels and define contrast relationships quickly and intuitively. These controls respond with the right amount of resistance, ensuring each movement feels precise and consistent.
Along the top edge lies a row of direct access knobs that control essential grading parameters. These carefully machined knobs allow subtle, fine grain adjustments to primary correction tools, making it easy to achieve balanced looks across an entire project. Dedicated buttons enable seamless switching between log and primary wheels, while additional keys allow toggling offset, temperature, tint and full screen viewing modes. This makes the device particularly effective for fast, iterative grading sessions where immediacy is essential. The panel also integrates common navigation and workspace controls that streamline movement through timelines and menus, reducing dependency on external devices and speeding up workflow.
A built in slot accommodates an optional tablet, positioning it at a suitable viewing angle for on set or remote work. This integration supports a highly portable configuration that lets colorists create consistent looks across multiple environments. Connectivity is equally flexible, offering Bluetooth for wireless operation or USB C for direct tethering and external power. The unit is lightweight, making it suitable for mobile productions, broadcast trucks, educational facilities and independent grading setups where space is limited but professional capabilities are still required.
Practical considerations include localization options across multiple languages, an internal battery with USB C charging, and broad operating system compatibility spanning macOS, Windows and Linux. The hardware is designed to maintain performance in varied environments, supporting operating temperatures from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius and offering robust construction that withstands frequent transport. With its refined ergonomics and comprehensive control set, this panel provides an efficient and tactile approach to achieving cinematic color.
