Hardware Specifications

Software Integration

The Speed Editor is bundled with a full license of DaVinci Resolve Studio, Blackmagic Design’s flagship editing, color grading, and audio post‑production platform. This integration allows editors to:

• Launch DaVinci Resolve directly from the controller.
