Using Davinci Resolve on Linux

Hello,

Is there a way to run Resolve on a Linux box (with full Resolve license) without a control surface? I searched the net for a definitive answer but found some contradicting answers.
What I'd like to do is build a simple Linux box with 2-4 Nvidia GPUs and plenty of RAM and hopefully be able to run Resolve on it under Linux (CentOS).

Thank you,
Goran

I thought no, but I'm not sure.

Peter?

Hello, Goran,
DaVinci Resolve for Linux license is different from the Win/Mac full license, in that it is generally only available in a bundle with Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve colorist control surface, as a part of the specially configured solution by one of the Blackmagic Design resellers/integrators.

but if we have the panel on a mac and the license dongle linux unused?
I can't just plugin in a linux centos as a render system?

Linux Resolve requires a custom built system disk. It cannot be installed over top of an existing Linux installation.

Linux Resolve only supports the BMD panel set. A Linux Resolve license dongle comes with the panel set.

When Resolve 12 is released, the Remote Rendering option should allow you to render to a Linux Resolve system Javier. Assuming it shares databases and storage with the Mac.

Just to clarify, if i have everything linux system sell by your reseller, but the panel is unpluged, resolve wont start/work?

If you have a "certify" Linux resolve and you unplug the panel to use on a mac temporally, the Linux resolve will probably complain that does not find the panel but it will work.

If you have a Linux dongle you can run the app without a panel. Just deselect like in the Mac/Windows versions.
