Blackmagic Design BMD-DV/RESFA/EFCCS Fairlight Console Channel Control

The Blackmagic Design BMD-DV/RESFA/EFCCS Fairlight Console Channel Control is purpose-built for audio engineers and post-production facilities running Fairlight console workflows in DaVinci Resolve. It gives operators tactile, hands-on control over complex sessions without relying solely on a mouse or trackpad, reducing the cognitive load that comes with managing dense mix environments.

The unit provides 12 groups of touch-sensitive rotary control knobs paired with illuminated buttons, each assignable to fader strips, individual channels, or the master bus. This flexibility makes it equally useful for mixing dialogue in a broadcast suite, handling music stems in a post facility, or managing live recording sessions where fast, repeatable control adjustments matter. Touch sensitivity on the rotaries enables parameter pickup behavior and automation writing with a natural, intuitive feel that traditional stepped encoders cannot match.

For integrators and studio designers spec'ing a dedicated Fairlight surface, this Channel Control module extends the physical control surface footprint without requiring a full console replacement. It complements existing Fairlight hardware and fits studios that need to scale their control surface incrementally based on session complexity or budget.
