C Setting Up a Control Surface
Color is compatible with control surfaces from JLCooper and
Tangent Devices.
A control surface lets you make simultaneous adjustments to multiple parameters
while you work. Not only is this faster, but it allows you to interactively make complex
color adjustments to different areas of the image at once. This appendix describes how
to connect and configure compatible control surfaces to your computer for use with
Color, and covers the following topics:
 JLCooper MCS-3000, MCS-Spectrum, MCS-3400, and MCS-3800 Control
Surfaces (p. 339)
 Tangent Devices CP100 Control Surface (p. 344)
 Tangent Devices CP200 Series Control Surface (p. 346)
 Customizing Control Surface Sensitivity (p. 351)
JLCooper MCS-3000, MCS-Spectrum, MCS-3400, and MCS-
3800 Control Surfaces
JLCooper makes a variety of control surfaces that are compatible with both Color and
Final Cut Pro. The MCS family of control surfaces have both navigational and color
correction-specific controls in a variety of configurations.
