you can only use this with Resolve and they have no public plans of supporting any other editing software. Compatibility with Other Softwareīefore I go any further to minimize the comments. If you want to be a full-time or professional colorist though and have more control over your color grading in Resolve, the Mini is for you. Also, the Micro doesn't need AC power and just runs off of a USB cable. The Micro is for quickly correcting footage, throwing a LUT on it, and not really using secondary nodes. The representative from Blackmagicdesign I spoke with said the Mini was designed to be the 'keep in the office' version, while the Micro was created to be taken on location during your shoot.

(I attached an X10 remove AC switch on the power to facilitate this, since there's no actual power switch on the unit.The bottom half of the $3,000 Mini is actually the same layout and buttons of the $1,000 Micro version. It did happen occasionally, but generally if we power-cycled it, it immediately came right back and I could continue. I used a Mini Panel for more than a year, and I don't think I lost connection more than 4-5 times in that entire period. It is possible to extend the distance far longer, but you'd have to use a USB extender like one of the Gefen devices (which converts USB to CAT5) to do that. In rare cases, one cable might work better than another. You may have to experiment to see if one USB socket provides a better connection than the other. We found that you have to keep the USB cable reasonably short (under 10'), no splices, no ports inbetween, connected directly to the computer's USB socket. How long is the USB cable? What port do you have it connected to? I've tried clicking the 'Davinci Resolve Panels Setup' option in the help menu but it does absolutely nothing.

And yes, it is selected in the preferences. Jamie LeJeune wrote:Same issue, Mini Panel won't connect.
