Blackmagic Design BMD-DV/RESFA/FADCS Fairlight Console Channel Fader

The Blackmagic Design BMD-DV/RESFA/FADCS Fairlight Console Channel Fader is built for audio engineers and post-production facilities running DaVinci Resolve with Fairlight integration. It adds hands-on fader control to professional mixing workflows in broadcast, film post, and studio environments where mouse-driven mixing is not practical for fast, accurate work.

Each unit provides 12 motorized faders that respond to automation playback and allow tactile real-time level adjustments across multiple channels. Illuminated buttons for pan, solo, mute, and call give engineers immediate visual feedback in low-light control room conditions, while bank select buttons allow fast navigation across large session channel counts without interrupting workflow. The rotary control knobs add a secondary layer of parameter access beyond basic fader operation.

For facilities scaling up a Fairlight surface, this fader module offers a direct expansion path using native Blackmagic hardware. Unlike third-party control surfaces that require driver configuration and protocol mapping, this unit integrates directly with the Fairlight ecosystem, making it a reliable choice for permanent install in broadcast suites, dubbing stages, and dedicated audio post rooms.
