Not a mockup. A working cart.

An iPad on the stand under a Flanders Scientific DM160, grading live while the camera rolls. Or riding on the camera itself: an iPad Pro on top of an ALEXA 35 in the street, an iPhone on the side rails indoors. Photos from five shoots around Madrid, October 2026.

Dawn on an office plaza: a Flanders Scientific DM160 over two iPads, camera control on the left and GRADE on the right, with a Preston hand unit and a crane behind
The whole DIT corner on a city square: camera cart with tape rolls, the DM160 and iPad on a stand, and the Pelican case on the ground

Morning on a city square: the DM160 over the iPad running GRADE color wheels, a mouse on the tray, the flight case and the camera cart beside the stand
An ARRI ALEXA 35 on a city street at first light with an iPad Pro mounted on top of the camera, fed by an Accsoon SeeMo Pro: GRADE riding on the camera itself, no cart

ARRI Cameras

Live grade directly inside the camera — no extra hardware.

Grade speaks ARRI's Camera Access Protocol over Wi-Fi or Ethernet: live CDL from the wheels, 3D LUT upload and look files straight into ALEXA 35 and ALEXA Mini LF. Validated on set with a production body.

  • Live CDL
  • Wi-Fi Control
  • 3D LUT
  • Look Upload

RED Cameras

Live grade directly in the camera over RCP2.

Grade talks RED's RCP2 protocol over the set network: live CDL in V-RAPTOR and KOMODO-X, and 3D LUTs delivered straight to the camera's LUT slots. Same wheels, same looks, no box in between.

  • Live CDL
  • Network Control
  • 3D LUT
  • LUT Upload

BoxIO

Compact wireless LUT box with SDI I/O.

Control LUTs, looks, and BoxIO settings directly from Grade over Wi-Fi.

  • SDI In/Out
  • Wi-Fi Control
  • 3D LUT
  • On-set Ready

DM-series Monitor

Reference-grade on-set monitoring with SDI/HDMI input, color accuracy, and direct live-grade capability over Wi-Fi.

  • Accurate Color
  • HDR Support
  • Waveform
  • 3D LUT
This is just the beginning.

A growing catalog of cameras and LUT boxes.

Grade is built device-agnostic from the ground up: ARRI and RED cameras, BoxIO, DM monitors and Teradek COLR are live today — one color engine, more hardware every release.

Any LUT. Any camera. Any grading suite.

Whatever the colourist, the rental house or the post facility hands you, it loads. Whatever they need back, it exports. Every LUT you import lands in your library as a.cube, so it syncs to the cloud and into Resolve unchanged.

Your library, in the cloud.

Every look and LUT you build on set, in your browser.

GRADE Library is the home of every look you own, with unlimited storage: looks you build on the iPad, LUTs you import into GRADE and files you upload from the browser all land in the same place. Save a look on set and seconds later it is at grade-app.click/library: preview it on reference frames or your own stills, swipe it against Rec.709, sort it into folders, and download it rebaked for any camera.

  • Unlimited storage for looks created in GRADE, LUTs imported into the app or uploaded from the web
  • Everything syncs both ways between the iPad and the browser
  • Real previews: the actual LUT in WebGL, on reference frames or your images, with a 709 wipe
  • Folders, favourites, tags, DoP and camera metadata
  • Download for any camera: ALEXA 35 .alf4, Mini LF .aml, RED, Sony, Blackmagic and Resolve .cube
  • Share a look or LUT with a link, or send it straight to DaVinci
Open the Look LibraryIncluded with your GRADE account · unlimited storage · also inside the app
DaVinci Resolve, in sync.

The look you built on set is already in Resolve.

GradeSync is a small menu bar app for the Mac. Mark a look Send to DaVinci on the iPad and the .cube lands in Resolve's LUT folder on the colorist's Mac, named and ready to use. Export a grade from Resolve with Send to GRADE and it shows up on the iPad. Same GRADE account, nothing to configure.

  • Looks and LUTs from the iPad appear in Resolve's LUT list
  • Grades from Resolve come back to the iPad as LUTs
  • Runs in the background, next to the clock

Control panels

Grade with your hands, not just your fingers.

Plug a Behringer X-Touch Mini into the iPad and its knobs are exposure, contrast, saturation and the wheel masters — the LED rings follow the grade. Pair a trackball and it rolls Lift, Gamma and Gain, and the log zones on the Log node. A Tangent Ripple on the Mac running GradeSync drives it too — nothing from Tangent to install.

  • X-Touch Mini over USB-C, ready mapped — no setup
  • Any USB or Bluetooth trackball as a grading ball
  • Tangent Ripple through GradeSync on the Mac, ready mapped
