Tidy Elements with the Rageboard

The grading panels of the “Element” series can be found in many grading suites – and usually in a hopeless mess. But now there is a chassis for this: the “Rageboard”.

The combination of the chassis and the panels gives colourists the convenience of a dedicated grading station at a much lower price and gives them the flexibility to adapt it to their own workflow.

A keyboard and USB hub are already built into the Rageboard. These and other features come directly from the development at a colourist’s workplace. Developer Mazze Aderhold explains: “I’ve seen in practice that the workflows and needs of individual colourists are never the same – that’s why I made the chassis as flexible as possible in order to combine the advantages of a dedicated panel with the flexibility of the Elements series.” The chassis offers six slots for Element panels and a Wacom tablet. Additional empty slots are supplied covered for future expansion.

Price and availability

The Rageboard is available immediately at a price of 2,900 euros (panel only) or 5,700 euros including the Tangent hardware. Further information and ordering can be found at www.angry-face.com. News and enquiries can be found at https://www.facebook.com/rageboard
