Avid Audio Artist Color

Avid Artist Color Control Surface:

With the compact, ergonomic Artist Color, you gain deep hands-on control of all color correction and grading tasks - with great precision and speed. Whether you use Media Composer, Symphony, Color, Smoke for Mac, STORM, or REDCINE-X, you get the superior feel and control of high-end grading hardware at a fraction of the cost, plus unparalleled access to all software color functions. And with programmable Soft Keys, you can customize the surface to speed your workflow.

EUCON (Extended User Control)
Artist Color features EUCON (Extended User Control), a high-speed open control protocol that has been adopted by many of the world's leading software developers. Apple Color, Autodesk Smoke, RED REDCINE-X, The Foundry STORM, and other applications support EUCON™, giving you highly responsive control over almost all software functions. You gain a tightly connected experience in which the control surface acts and feels like a physical extension of your software. EUCON even supports HUI and Mackie Control protocols for even greater flexibility with other creative apps.

EUCON carries high-resolution control information for trackballs, trackwheels, knobs, displays, and more between Artist Color and whatever application is in focus on your computer. With 8x the resolution and 250x the speed of MIDI, EUCON gives you powerful, highly responsive tactile control that feels like working on a high-end grading system. This enables you to quickly switch between multiple applications-and even workstations-at the touch of a button, with all controls and displays automatically matching the selected application.

Get Precision Control
With three highly responsive optical trackballs and trackwheels at your fingertips, you get the same tactile feedback and precision usually found on only high-end color grading solutions. You can even toggle the center trackball on the fly to work as a mouse—your hands never have to leave the surface during grading. You can also adjust the control sensitivity directly from the surface to suit your preferences.

Customize Your Control Surface
Because Artist Series controllers are modular, you can combine them in a variety of configurations to suit your workflow. Customize your Artist Series system with up to one Artist Control, four Artist Mixes, one Artist Transport, and one Artist Color for total flexibility-up to 36 faders total. Simply clip the units together to form a seamless surface-or use them separately-as each has its own Ethernet connection.
