TANGENT - Element Kb Control Panel

Description

The Tangent Element Kb Panel is the "Knob" panel of a set of four Element panels that replace a keyboard and mouse in operating select functions of supporting software, such as of supporting color-grading software. The panels can be used to achieve precise results quicker and with more technical gratification than possible with a keyboard and mouse. The list of supporting software is a growing one and includes such applications as DaVinci Resolve, SCRATCH, On-Set Dailies, Mistika, and YoYo

The controls of the panels can be programmed and reprogrammed to operate different functions. The manufacturers of supporting software designate the functions that each panel and its controls can operate, and the manufacturers make available the details of their designations in either the respective software manuals or by phone or email upon contact, depending on the manufacturer.

Upon a control's being programmed, its functionality gets labeled on the display screen of its panel. When reprogrammed, its functionality gets re-labeled. The display screens have white OLED bulbs and show crisp, high-contrast, high-resolution easy-to-read characters.

The Kb panel has twelve programmable knobs and two buttons for programming functions like Shift and ALT into.

The different panels can be used individually or in a set. More than one of each type may be incorporated into a set, and a functional control system can widely be combined. The panels are made from precision laser cut from solid aluminum. They carefully attach the sides to each other by a magnet, and are only 7.9 inches deep. They alimentéees USB and connect to each computer via a single USB cable through the plug-and-play, no need to install drivers. The panels can also optionally be used with the service HUB Tangent, which allows the layout of controls panels be customized. (A software should also support the HUB API).
