da Vinci has revisited the form and function of its control panels, as well as carefully examined the evolving workflow of its existing product line, and created the next-generation control environment for the film and TV industries.
Called Impresario™, the new control environment embraces research and knowledge in computer control aesthetics, ergonomics and user experience, and has drawn on da Vinci's unique status as a recognized market leader.
da Vinci has applied its experience to improve operational convenience by tripling the number of soft keys and controls. This reduces the number of menu layers, which reduces keystrokes and complexity. Impresario's increased number of hard keys also improves two-handed operation and offers enhanced operational speed.
Impresario™ is an ergonomically designed control environment for high-end color correction professionals to manage multiple color grading and non-linear editing features.
