Live Grading with DaVinci Resolve
Desktop Video 10 allows simultaneous capture and playback on Blackmagic Design 4K and 8K
hardware. This is great for users who want to use the live grading feature within DaVinci
Resolve, as it means you don't require two separate devices for input and output.
When using live grading on set, simply connect the output of the camera to the input of your
Blackmagic Design hardware. Then connect the hardware's output to an on set monitor for
grading evaluation and viewing.
