Hi,
I just wanted to send you a quick email about some new products we launched at NAB 2026 in Las Vegas.
We launched a whole new range of cameras, switchers, routers, converters and much more. We also introduced new 100G Ethernet based SMPTE-2110 IP solutions. Plus, we launched DaVinci Resolve 21 and Fairlight Live.
Let me explain more below!
DaVinci Resolve 21
DaVinci Resolve 21 is a major update packed with new features.
This release introduces powerful new AI tools, including IntelliSearch for fast content searching, CineFocus for focal point adjustment and tools for facial refinement. We have also added the Krokodove toolset, which brings over 70 new motion graphics and effects to Fusion. Other improvements include Fairlight folders for simpler audio track management, enhanced keyframing, MultiMaster trim passes, layer list node graphs and more.
One of the biggest additions in this release is the new Photo page, which brings Hollywood's most advanced color grading tools to still photography. Colorists and photographers can now import and manage their photos directly in DaVinci Resolve, with full access to the powerful node based grading tools on the color page.
DaVinci Resolve 21 will be a free update for all DaVinci Resolve Studio users and you can download the public beta now.
Fairlight Live
The new Fairlight Live is a powerful, software-based live audio mixer with spatial audio mixing and support for SMPTE-2110 broadcast workflows!
Unlike traditional hardware based audio mixers, Fairlight Live is a software-based mixer, so it can support incredibly powerful features such as spatial audio mixing and SMPTE-2110 broadcast workflows. It even supports full redundancy! Fairlight Live easily handles hundreds or even thousands of audio channels, depending on your computer. Plus, it works with standard computer audio or USB audio from ATEM live production switchers. This means you get a fully customizable live audio mixer with built-in effects and professional features such as a cue player, talkback busses, third-party plug-in support, snapshots and much more!
We also announced Fairlight Live Audio Panels, designed in collaboration with professional sound engineers to act as a natural extension of Fairlight Live. The intuitive design puts the controls you need right at your fingertips and lets you work much faster than with a keyboard and mouse. There's a large touchscreen for every group of 10 faders displaying channel strip information, levels, EQ, dynamics processing, plug-in interfaces and more. With three models to choose from with 10, 20 or 40 faders, they are ideal for home studios, small suites or large live broadcasts.
Fairlight Live public beta is available now as a free download.
