BMD Mini Panel Owners Thread

  • Even with the 'log' mode activated, the trackballs will operate as lift/gamma/gain if you're in certain sub-menus on the GUI, like noise-reduction etc.

So you’re experiencing when the Log button is lit on the lower panel you have LGG controls not SMH (Log)?
I don’t have that happening.

I do wish to say I dislike (understatement) the fact that when the offset button on the lower panel is lit it does not activate the offset lcd screens on the upper panel.

Reviving this thread because I'm having an emergency. I just upgraded to 18.1.3 and my Mini no longer connects to Resolve. Has anyone else had an issue like this? Running Windows 10. All was working perfectly well until I upgraded.

Good idea Pepo!

Here are mine, at least the suggestions that come to mind right now:
  • When switching to Power Windows, set the viewer to window mode to. (Right now I have to press window->qualifier->window to often)
  • Disable Offset mode when Log is pressed and vice versa
  • When pressing reset RGB, Level is reset to even if disabled in preferences
  • Wishing for activation of the 1 to 16 (right side) buttons for direct node selection. Use the Home button as Shift when hold. (Home can toggle to home when short pressed. It's a useless button when grading)
  • Let me customize it please. At least the Viewer button above the trackballs and the encoders as they are not back lit labeled anyways...

That's it for now. Perhaps I'll add more posts when I stumble over stuff while grading ;¬]

Daniel,

The app called "Keyboard maestro" in combination with a Stream Deck can create a macro for direct node selection. I have programmed it so that I have multiple nodes which I can switch to immediately.

Joey D'Anna a Mixing Light contributor did a tutorial about creating keyboard maestro macros including node selection. Search for that tutorial on the Mixing Light Website if you are a member.

Hi Tony, I know how it works. But first I am on PC and my problem is that the antialiasing on screen changes the labels so that the script engine doesn't see the similarity anymore...

Daniel,

What brand and model GUI monitor are you using? I have had no issue running the keyboard maestro "node selection" macro on Mac OS Monterey with LG GUI monitors.

First of all I'm on Windows and use a 27" UHD resolution. Perhaps I'll try again with 18.6 soon or I just keep using it as it is now. For my daily work it's even more interesting to trigger more actions than selecting a node. I am using a fixed tree and doing a 'select this node, enable power windows, turn it left' is a more appropriate.

Thanks for your input anyways
 
Suddenly the Mini panel is no longer connecting to Resolve. Both 19.1.4 and 20.1 on 2019 cheesegrater under Sequoia 15.6.1. It is via USB and Tangent Wave and Streamdeck connect fine through the same USB hub. Anyone having the same issue?

BMD Support generally will tell you to avoid any hub and correct the panel directly to the computer's USB hub. The Tangent and Streamdeck may work, but the Resolve Panels are a bit more sensitive about USB sources. Cables can have an effect, too.
 
after using both the Mini and Elements set for the last several years, i took the Mini out of service yesterday, replaced with another Elements set, they are a better fit for me

if BMD allowed user mapping, it would be on the desktop, not on a shelf today, and would have two more for company

Elements with warp engine is compentent and flexiable, the Mini is compentent, and decidely not flexiable

The Tangent Elements are lower-profile, and that is a plus.

The Mini Panel came out in April of 2017 -- at this point, it's pretty long in the tooth. I'm surprised that BMD hasn't come out with a Mini Panel II to replace it yet.
