Hello, I have a question about the Blackmagic Desi

Hello, I have a question about the Blackmagic Design Fairlight Live Audio Panel 20. Does this control surface work only with the new Fairlight Live software, or is it also fully compatible with the Fairlight page inside DaVinci Resolve Studio?
Asked by: emrah
The Blackmagic Design Fairlight Live Audio Panel 20 Desktop Control Surface is specifically designed and optimized for Fairlight Live, Blackmagic Design's software-based live audio mixing application. Unlike traditional studio hardware control surfaces designed for post-production (such as the Fairlight Studio Consoles that integrate with the Fairlight page in DaVinci Resolve Studio), these new Live Audio Panels are built explicitly around the live mixing workflows, routing architecture, and features unique to Fairlight Live.

Is there a compatible I/O device to bring in analo

Is there a compatible I/O device to bring in analog inputs?
Asked by: James
When using an ATEM switcher as the I/O engine connect analog audio to the ATEM and it will be available. Some ATEM models support MADI. If not using an ATEM you could use computer system audio which supports a wide variety of audio I/O connections.

Will this control the built in Fairlight Audio mix

Will this control the built in Fairlight Audio mixer in the ATEM 2 M/E Constellation 4K ? and if so, does it only work with USB connection or if both devices are on a network will it control through the network?
Asked by: James
The Fairlight Live audio and panel do not control any ATEM mixer. They use the ATEM I/O through USB for audio processing in the computer. The panel only controls the Fairlight Live software running on the computer.
