Overview
The Tangent Element Control Surface Kit is a multi-purpose color correction workstation with fully featured control panels. Despite their compact desk footprint, each Element offers full size controls which are ergonomically and intuitively laid out. Every programmable control is clearly labeled, so if the function of the control changes, so does its display label (eliminating the need to refer to reference notes or on screen help). When the Elements are used with the Tangent Mapper you can even customize the layout of the controls, if using fully compatible software.
Apart from the size, the first thing you will notice about Element is the stylish, ultra slim design. Quality comes in the form of a solid aluminum, precision laser-cut case. All internal components have been carefully chosen for reliability. All rotary controls and trackerballs feature optical pickups, making them long-life and high precision. The buttons are ultra-reliable, with a positive tactile response. The displays are crisp, high-contrast, high-resolution, easy to read, white OLEDs. USB plug-and play uses a HID device, so no drivers are required. The panels are also USB powered, so there’s no need for an external power supply. A single USB cable connects to each panel, and when placed side by side the panels magnetically lock together, keeping the layout neatly aligned.
This Element Bundle provides a total of (24) programmable buttons, (12) programmable knobs, (4) programmable trackerballs, standard transport controls and (8) additional buttons for SHIFT, ALT, etc.
NOTE: Most of Tangent’s software partners have released versions of their applications which support the Element panels. Please contact an AbelCine salesperson for further details. If you intend to purchase only certain panels from the set, or if you intend you purchase more than one of any panel, please verify that your software supports this option.
