Has anyone come across a wireless RC for the FX6 (not the phone app) with Sart/Stop button and zoom rockers etc? I've found 2 (sketchy) wireless LANC controllers but that is it.

Something is not clear for me... Does the resolution of the timeline impact the resolution of the final exported file ?
In other words: If my clips are in 4K, my timeline resolution adjusted to 720p, and I want to export in 4K. Will the final file be a true 4K film (based on the HQ clips) or a 720p upscaled to 4K (based on the LowQ timeline) ?
It's often well worth working in a 1080p timeline to improve real-time playback speed while working, and then exporting your master at the native resolution of the footage 4k/6k/whatever. I do it frequently.

If you are working with an external monitor, such as I am using a 4K TV as a client monitor and BM Decklink Mini Monitor you will need to reflect your timeline setting in that as well. Sometimes I forget and pop up a 4k timeline when its set to HD and a face closeup has been known to cause a client or two to jump. Sometimes I just pull their leg and tell them nostril shots are all the rage now.Brian Murphy

If you did this in FCP X via Compressor, you would be upscaling 1080p footage to 4K because your original clips and edits are being done in a 1080p timeilne where all of those extra pixels are being thrown out.
You'd know best, but obviously make sure that's not what's happening above.

Things may have changed (or maybe I'm misreading) but it seems like timeline resolution in Resolve *does* affect the output; i.e., if you render to UHD from an HD timeline you will be upscaling (i.e., making up pixels) regardless of your source resolution. This is at least what I'm taking away from a post on the Blackmagic Design forums:

If you scale the image, it changes.. DaVinci Resolves scaler is good, and the super scaler for up res is very good as it uses DNN, but ultimately you are making pixels that didn't exist so a calculation is involved.
In the simple form, a UHD clip with input scaling to a HD timeline now means you have HD. If you keep the timeline at HD and upres the output using the normal sizing you are making new pixels to up res.
If you have a UHD source and you wish to have a UHD output, edit and grade in HD if you like but change the timeline resolution back to UHD before you initiate the render so there is no down then up sizing.
