Reading Keykode - Blackmagicdesign Cintel Installation And Operation Manual

Tracking with Magnetic Audio
The Audio and KeyKode Reader's magnetic audio head comes preconfigured from the factory
and shouldn't need adjustment. The nature of magnetic audio means that a small amount of
overlap shouldn't cause distortion as these areas don't carry magnetic information. There is also
typically less variation in the placement of magnetic soundtracks during the printing process,
and the reader's magnetic head is slightly oversize to help compensate for any misalignment.
Advanced Tracking
In addition to the tracking adjustments listed here, the reader also supports:
‚ Magnetic audio azimuth and tracking adjustment
‚ Optical audio azimuth adjustment
‚ Optical audio focus adjustment
For most users, these changes will never be necessary. For information on these advanced
adjustments, contact your Blackmagic Support Center at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support
Commencing your scan
Once you have set your audio type and adjusted the tracking, simply commence your scan as
detailed in the section 'Scanning One or More Sections of Film.'
It's worth noting that DaVinci Resolve will not begin writing a file until it has synchonized audio
and video information being sent from your scanner. As audio information is printed a few
frames ahead of its corresponding frame, this means there will be a brief pause of
approximately one second between your scanner reaching speed and your scan appearing
on screen.

Reading KeyKode

When scanning KeyKode data, lacing the film is exactly the same as lacing film without the
reader attached. The film will naturally pass through the KeyKode reader as it travels between
the rollers through to the skid plate. The correct lacing path is shown below.
Lace film through your Audio and KeyKode Reader's lower section to scan KeyKode data
NOTE When capturing KeyKode information make sure that the KeyKode section of
your film passes over the scanning LED.
