Blackmagic Design today announced DaVinci Resolve for iPad, so creators can extend video workflows in new ways and new places. Optimized for MultiTouch technology and Apple Pencil, DaVinci Resolve for iPad features support for cut and color pages providing access to DaVinci’s award winning image technology, color finishing tools and latest HDR workflows. And Blackmagic Cloud support allows creators to collaborate with multiple users around the world. DaVinci Resolve for iPad will be available in Q4 2022 from the Apple App Store as a free download, with an upgrade to DaVinci Resolve Studio for iPad also available as an in-app purchase.

With optimized performance for Apple Silicon, DaVinci Resolve delivers 4x faster Ultra HD ProRes render performance on the new iPad Pro with M2. HDR is also supported for customers using an 12.9-inch iPad Pro with the M1 chip. Creators can send a clean feed grading monitor output to an Apple Studio Display, Pro Display XDR or an AirPlay compatible display. This lets customers use the external display to quickly create grades on set or color correct clips in post production directly from their iPad.

The new DaVinci Resolve for iPad will open and create standard DaVinci Resolve project files which are compatible with the desktop version of DaVinci Resolve 18. Supported file formats include H.264, H.265, Apple ProRes and Blackmagic RAW, with clips able to be imported from the iPad Pro internal storage and Photos library, or externally connected iCloud and USB-C media disks.

SmallRig MagicFIZ Wireless Follow Focus is designed to provide a precise and low-latency follow focus experience for video shooting. The Wireless Handwheel Controller has a 1400mAh battery for a battery life of approx. 20h and power-failure memory function that spares you from repeated lens calibration and AB point settings, thus improving shooting efficiency. Ultra-low-power 0.96" OLED screen with RGB lighting effect and vibration warning provides a simple but efficient interaction experience. It works with multi-functional Wireless Handgrip (3917) in controlling focus and zoom of Wireless Receiver Motor for as long as 29 hours. The Wireless Receiver Motor supports PD / QC fast charging protocol and provides 9V/18W and 0.5N.m torque output. It can be powered by Battery Plate (3777) with NP-F batteries or by USB-C to D-tap Cable (3266) and USB-C to DC cable (3268) with V-Mount batteries. The whole system has a remote control range of up to 100m in open area and also supports lower-latency control with Wireless Handgrip 3780 and USB-C cables for more stability. Its BLE module helps in wireless REC start/stop which can also be realized by control cables (3325, 2971, 2970, depending on your camera type) with Wireless Receiver Motor. With modular design, high precision BLDC control algorithm and anti-interference encryption algorithm, the wireless follow focus system brings you quick release and precise, stable focus experience for handheld, head, tripod shooting, and director monitoring.

The Samyang V-AF series increases compatibility with gimbals and drones by applying the unified form factors with its 5 different focal lengths (Ultra-Wide to Medium-tele). By providing a compact size of 73 X 70mm and a light-weight of less than 300g, there is no need to re-set the equipment when changing the lenses. The new V-AF series supports resolutions up to 8K in a small and lightweight form, which is well suited for use with handheld gimbals and drones, as well as for studios and location productions. All lenses within the new V-AF series are color-matched to avoid shifts when swapping lenses, and the 9 aperture blades allow for a natural-looking bokeh. The first in the series available is the 75MM T/1.9 FE variant.

The new wide-angle model in the LUMIX S lens range is now in stock! As part of the launch event, a cleaning kit from K&F Concept is also temporarily included! LUMIS S-S18 is also ideal for shooting video thanks to its quiet and highly accurate AF system (240 fps), "breathing" suppression technology, very fine aperture control for smooth exposure changes and the existence of other LUMIX S models with f/1.8 aperture (includes e.g. 85mm/S-S85, 50mm/S-S50, 35mm/S-S35 and 24mm/S-S24), which have the same filter diameter (67mm), dimensions (approximately and centre of gravity) and position of controls for easy installation in side-focus camera rigs.

The Wise CFexpress Type B and CFexpress Type B / SD card readers are equipped with thermal-plated aluminum casing, which increases heat dissipation efficiency. At the same time, the all-important write-protect switch is kept, and moved to the back for aesthetic purposes. Last but not least, the key feature for the new readers is our proprietary sleep mode software, which protects your cards and keeps them cool when they are idle. Both readers offer up to 10 Gbps data transfer speed and mature USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface as with the previous models.
