Reset The Timecode - Blackmagicdesign Cintel Installation And Operation Manual

Reset the Timecode

To set the timecode for the roll of film you're about to scan, you need to locate the zero frame for
that roll. It's standard practice to punch a small physical hole within the frame before the first frame
of necessary film on a roll, to use as a permanent reference for whenever that roll is scanned. This is
referred to as the marker frame, lab roll hole, or head punch. By always setting the first frame of
timecode to match the marker frame, subsequent film scans will have the same frame count as
previous scans, making it possible to rescan and reconform the same material whenever necessary.
To reset scanned timecode at the marker frame of a new film roll:
1 Use the transport controls under the viewer to locate the marker frame.
2 Click the 'viewer' option menu and choose 'current frame timecode.'
Choosing Current Frame Timecode
from the Viewer Option menu
3 Enter a timecode value in the dialog box that appears. For example, if you're scanning
the first roll of a project, you can enter 01:00:00:00.

4 When you're done, click OK.
Timecode cannot be a negative value, so don't set the start frame to zero. Another common
organizational technique is to change the hour number whenever you change rolls, to coincide
with the film roll's number, which makes it easy to identify a scanned clip with the corresponding
source roll and frame range.
NOTE Your Cintel Scanner has built in 'Options Interface' ports for adding optional
hardware in the future. This offers the ability to add optional features such as reading
KeyKode from the camera negative. It also gives you the ability to scan optical audio in
real time while you are scanning the picture.
