Blackmagic Design Announce 7.0 Revolution

A manufacturer of video technology products has announced a revolution in high end colour correction with new DaVinci Resolve 7.0. Designed by Blackmagic, the new DaVinci Resolve 7.0 includes support for the Mac OS X platform, upgraded user interface, improved video field support, a new EDL library, improved shared database support, as well as new pricing for all models.
Blackmagic Design is now introducing three models of DaVinci Resolve. These models include a new Mac based software only version, a Mac based version that includes the incredible DaVinci Resolve control surface, and a high end Linux version that lets you build multiple GPU supercomputer based systems for unlimited power.
The new Mac based software only version of DaVinci Resolve includes all the powerful DaVinci Resolve features. When running on a Mac, DaVinci Resolve is limited to a single GPU based solution because of slot availability and lack of InfiniBand for Mac, however this does not mean it's limited on power! In the company’s performance testing, the single GPU performance on Mac is similar to the single GPU Linux systems.
The midrange DaVinci Resolve model includes both the Mac DaVinci Resolve software as well as the DaVinci Resolve Control Surface. This control surface lets colourists adjust settings in DaVinci Resolve with over 60 knobs and buttons. Colourists can work incredibly fast while keeping their head up and looking at the grading monitor while working. Customers get the power of a single GPU system with the simplicity of the Mac for a fast and easy to use grading solution.
When customers are working with heavy colour corrections in HD, 2K, 4K or even 3D, then the top model thats sold as a software upgrade for the DaVinci Control Surface lets customers move to a Linux based system that allows multiple GPUs and CPUs for faster processing.
When customers need faster processing, then the Linux version lets them upgrade simply by adding GPUs as they need. All GPUs work together to increase the resolution that can run in real time, as well as the number of corrections that can be done in real time. DaVinci Resolve is a real time system, so being able to add extra GPUs and CPUs gives customers virtually unlimited power while fitting tight budgets.
Customers can keep adding hardware such as GPUs and CPUs which are pre-certified by Blackmagic Design and available from DaVinci Specialist Resellers. Because it's a full Linux license, customers don't need to pay anything more for the software.
Also, all existing DaVinci customers who have an older model DaVinci Resolve or DaVinci Splice will qualify to get this new version 7.0 software at no charge. In addition, anyone who has an older DaVinci 2K system can use the control surface they have, and upgrade to DaVinci Resolve by paying only for the Linux license.
