It's a fantastic solution for SD and HD, and even works in 2K. You can rotate images, re-frame, add corrections, blurs and trackers, and then just hit play. It's all real-time. Plus, because no features are disabled on this software only version, when faster GPU cards are released in the future, you can just plug them in for more power! This really is a true high end colour correction system!

DaVinci Resolve might be affordable now, but it's still a high end solution, so requires a third party control panel such as the Tangent Wave, and single CUDA capable GPU card. If video I/O is required, then it also requires a DeckLink HD Extreme card.

Also there is a new DaVinci Resolve model that includes both the Mac based software and the incredible DaVinci Resolve Control Surface. This control surface is amazing and lets you adjust settings in DaVinci with over 60 knobs and buttons. You can work incredibly fast while keeping your head up and looking at the grading monitor. You get the same power of a single GPU system and because it's Mac based, you can install it yourself. The DaVinci control surface is so incredibly fast to use, and this is an incredible solution!
