Hello, 

Could you elaborate please on the color management part of this power grade ? 

I'm currently mainly working in a RCM workflow, either ipp2 for Red raws, or Arri LogC to DaVinciWideGamut as a timeline color space, and rec709 as Output. 

Do I need to tweak anything in the Input node with this power grade ? 

Thanks a lot

Hello Bruno, 

Yes these missing DLL are quite odd, especially considering I downloaded Resolve from BMD website... 

I let Dwaine knows about that for this reason too... 

I know hope that with this thread other artist users can troubleshoot some potential issue.

Hello Bruno

Just to let you know that with the precious help of Dwaine Maggart from BMD support (thanks a lot to him), I managed to have my Avid Artist Color working under the last version of Windows 11 Pro !

Actually, for some reason, 2 DLL were missing in my Resolve installation, preventing the EuphonixPanelDaemon to work as expected. 

Détails are available in this thread

Hello Bruno

Yeah this Lock process etc seemed a bit odd to me too, but as it was mentioned by someone from BMD support, I gave it a try... 

I agree with you that there might be an issue with Defender, the firewall, or some Security options (I tried a common troubleshoot procedure 2 days ago, switching control panel to none in Resolve pref, and then again Avid Artists color, and notice then that Defender ask me to grant autorisation to DaVinciPanelDaemon). But I checked Defender settings yesterday, tried to disable the firewall, but this didn't seem to solve my problem... :-/

I'll keep searching this way nevertheless, it worth investigating...

thanks again 

Hi Bruno, 

Yes I manually set up a static IP on both my panel and workstation, same subnet etc, no issue there (actually, I was already working using DHCP, but as I can't have any connection to Resolve, I tried this too...)

The Eucon preferences and Mackie controller are part of my various attempts to find a way to troubleshoot everything. 

I read on Avid support that, for Windows 10 (and threads from BMD suggests is the same for the newest version of MacOs), you need to lock the panel to Resolve in the Assign tab of EuControl. 

But, first, when launching Resolve, this lock options are greyed out. 

Then, it appeared that adding Resolve in EuControl Préférences, and setting up a Mackie controller, let me then lock the panel to Resolve in the exact same Assign Tab...

For a few seconds I thought my problem was solved, but unfortunately... Still blank rectangles... 

Speaking about them, as you mentioned, they seem to imply my panel is controlled by EuControl. For example, at boot I have AVID logo, and a few seconds later, these rectangles. But when launching Resolve, I never had my Contrast/Pivot/Sat etc... Stuck with these blank rectangles... 

And can't figure out why (I also checked my BMD application folder, all panel daemons, especially the EuphonixPanelDaemon, are there...)

So yes, I can try to find a MC trial version for test. Or install a dual boot with Windows 10 to see how it works... But I would prefer to have a working panel under Windows 11...

Thanks again for your help, 

Best

Hum, while I was digging again, a new question arose... 

As mentioned earlier, I set up a Mackie Protocol, following a document found on Avid Website and this suggestion (under MacOs, but équivalent in Windows) from Dwaine from BMD 

But I'm not sure that's was relevant ...

Any thoughts about this ?

Thanks again

Hello Bruno, 

Thanks for your help and answer. 

Yeah it's the same thread on LGG (although this one is more to the point). 

My panel has always been connected directly to my computer since I don't have any routeur at home. It worked flawlessly with a static IP on my old Mac Pro running High Sierra (yes, really old Mac Pro...). 

And under Windows 11, I tried both settings (DHCP, then static IP), and each time was able to have my panel attached in EuControl...  

By the way, If I understand this well

"Both of these methods of obtaining IP addresses can be overridden by supplying a static IP address, which Artist Color uses in all cases when powered on."

supplying a static IP override the link-local mode and there should be no issue there... 

Actually I don't understand why I'm stuck with these blank rectangles when launching Resolve. 

As far as I know, according to my readings, my installation should be ok. Ie

- I installed EuControl

- Set up a static IP and have my panel connected and attached to my workstation in EuControl

- Added Resolve in EuControl Préférences, and set up a Mackie protocol, since it now seems necessary to be able to lock the panel to Resolve next in the Assign tab of EuControl (otherwise this option is greyed out)

- Launched Resolve

- Opened EuControl and eventually Lock the panel to Resolve in the Assign Tab (now accessible)

But still, only blank rectangles... 

I agree with you that older version of EuControl seems far more reliable (actually newer one create a new bug with my Logitech mouse and my Wacom tablet...:-/), and if I understand this protocol well, we indeed should not any update from Avid... 

Really I don't know how to solve this, or understand what can be creating such an issue under Windows 11...

Once again thanks a lot for your help, 

Best

As Mazze has said,  they work fine with Win 10 and all recent versions of Resolve, and as far as I'm aware, there's no problem with Mojave/Resolve 16 as long as the Eucon software is correctly installed.

Even though they are EOL, very little seems to go wrong with them, so they should still have some life left in them.  If you don't want to spend big bucks at this point, they can be a way of getting a decent panel at a very good price. Even if it only lasts you a year, I'm sure it will have paid for itself with your first job.

Things I've discovered with this panel....

The 'rubberised' coating on parts of this panel can get quite sticky/dirty if not looked after. Once the dirt gets imbedded, it's extremely difficult to remove. Look out for this on second-hand items. The balls are OK but the rings are rubberised and can feel nasty to the touch!

There doesn't seem to be a way to reprogram the panel from Resolve, so you  have to live with the button/knob assignments as supplied.  The Eucon software does allow some reprogramming of keys etc. on their range of products (including the like of the Artist Mix or Transport) but it doesn't know anything about specific Resolve functions, so you're likely to be limited to things like keyboard shortcuts. For example, I managed to repurpose an old Artist Transport to provide me with basic shuttle and jog knob functions in Resolve.

Hi, 

I'm rising this topic from the grave, cause I'm currently struggling to have my Avid Artist Color V2 working on my new Win 11 pro workstation (coming from an old Mac Pro, I'm couldn't try it with Win 10 for now). 

I read everything I can find on the net about this, but no way for me to have my panel working with Resolve (currently 17.4.6, but I also tried v16 without success...). 

Tried several EuControl version, from 2.7 to the last one, connection through DHCP or static IP, managed to have my panel locked to Resolve since it now seems compulsory, etc etc, each time, even if my panel is correctly attached and locked to Resolve in EuControl, and seems to we working with Windows (I can map soft keys, the Nav button is ok, etc), I only have blank rectangles (and no control) when launching Resolve... Ah and the panel is set up in Resolve prefs.

So my question is quite, does anyone here have a working Avid Artist Color under Windows 11 ? Or should I consider something get broken in Windows 11, and reinstall my station from scratch under Windows 10 ?

Thanks a lot for your help or advice
