BMDPanelDaemon is a helper component for DaVinci Resolve that manages communication between Resolve and supported third-party hardware control panels and keyboards — devices like the DaVinci Fairlight Console, Advanced Panel, and Streamdeck integrations. It runs in the background and routes button presses, knob turns, and other input from these controllers to the Resolve application. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionBMDPanelDaemon is not a standalone application but a background helper bundled with DaVinci Resolve itself. The native build is deployed automatically when you update DaVinci Resolve to a current native version. To get the native build of BMDPanelDaemon, open DaVinci Resolve, go to Help → Check for Updates (or DaVinci Resolve → Check for Updates on some releases), and install the latest version available. Blackmagic Design has shipped native Apple Silicon builds of DaVinci Resolve for several years now, so updating will bring both Resolve and all its helper components — including BMDPanelDaemon — to their native builds. After updating, your hardware panel integration will run at native speed with no manual configuration needed.
