Remote workstation
Remote desktop for
DaVinci Resolve suites.
Keep Resolve on your macOS or Linux workstation and connect through a supported browser or the native macOS Workstation client, with tablet input and two displays where supported. The host agent connects outbound, so the facility does not need to open inbound ports for it.

Two displays with macOS Display P3 support and NVIDIA-backed Linux 4:4:4.
03
Native macOS Apple Silicon and Linux agents for creative workstations.

Outbound connection from the suite; direct where possible, relay fallback where needed.

Quick answers
Questions to
ask first.
Does this require a VPN?
The Workstation agent reaches out from the host, so facility firewalls do not need inbound rules for the agent.
Where does colour-managed review fit?
Use Sessions for SDR, HDR and theatrical review, and Workstation when you need to control the suite remotely.
