About the Autodesk Control Surface
The Autodesk® control surface provides improved interactivity when colour grading film and
video footage. You can perform many of the same tasks you do in the Autodesk Lustre® user
interface using the control surface. The modular design of the control surface also allows you to
work on different grading stages simultaneously. For example, you can perform curves grading
while modifying the image lift.
The Autodesk control surface consists of three panels. Although licensed separately, they are
designed to work together.
For information on connecting the control surface, refer to the Autodesk Lustre Software
Installation Guide for your platform.
For technical information about the Autodesk control surface, see http://
www.tangentdevices.co.uk/downloads_documents.asp.
Control Surface Panel Descriptions
Each of the three control surface panels are designed to perform different functions.
The following image shows the Navigation panel.

• Jump to specified frame number or timecode on the Storyboard.
• Show or hide user interface elements.
• Adjust the appearance of the panels.
The following image shows the Function panel.
Use the Function panel to work in the menu you activated in the Navigation panel. For example,
if you pressed the Key menu button in the Navigation panel, the functions for pulling a key are
activated in the Function panel. The features available on the Function panel depend entirely on
the menu selected in the Navigation panel. You can use the digital display at the top of the panel
as a guide for understanding how functionality is distributed when a given menu is active.
You can also use the Function panel to set viewing modes. Some of the viewing functions
included in the Function panel include multi-view, wipe, split, proxy, output, and print view.
