Transcoding to DPX including KeyKode Metadata

If you want to, you can also set DaVinci Resolve to transcode your scans to the DPX file format,
which will retain all the KeyKode metadata.
To transcode your scans to DPX:
1 Go to the menu bar at the top of the screen and click on 'File', then select media
management.
2 In the media management window, click on the 'clips' icon to transcode all clips
individually, and select transcode.
3 Set your media destination by browsing to your chosen storage folder and click OK.
4 Enable the 'transcode all media' radio button to transcode all the media on your timeline.
5 In the video settings, set the video format to 'DPX' and choose your desired codec setting.
6 The resolution will automatically match your timeline resolution, but you can change the
setting if you want to transcode to a different resolution. You can also set it to match
your clips' source resolution by enabling the 'render at source resolution' checkbox.
7 In the audio settings, choose the number of audio channels you want to include in your
DPX files, or select 'same as source' to match the audio in the source clips. Also set
your desired audio bit depth.
The DaVinci icons at the bottom of the window will let you know the current size of your
media, and the size of the media once it has been transcoded to DPX files.
8 Click 'start'.
All the clips on your timeline will now be transcoded to DPX files with the KeyKode embedded.
For more information about transcoding your Cintel Raw files to other formats, refer to the
Media Management section of the DaVinci Resolve manual.
TIP You can also render your Cintel Raw files as DPX files with embedded KeyKode
by going to DaVinci Resolve's 'Deliver' page and exporting your files as DPX files.
Make sure you select 'individual source clips' in the 'render' settings to make sure
each file is exported separately.

Updating the Audio and KeyKode Reader's Internal Software

The Audio and KeyKode Reader has its own internal software which should be updated with
any new Cintel release.
When the KeyKode Reader requires a software update because of incompatible reader
firmware, DaVinci Resolve locks the Reader and reminds you to update the Reader's
internal software.
