Warning For Safely Installing Your Scanner; Getting Started; Installing The Software - Blackmagicdesign Cintel Installation And Operation Manual

Warning for Safely Installing your Scanner
The Cintel Scanner weighs up to 70kg, or 155 pounds, when loaded with film. This is
significantly heavier than a large screen television. If you are unsure of the structural capability
of the wall or desk to support the total weight of the scanner and film loaded then you must
obtain the advice of a qualified engineer to correctly analyze the mounting to ensure safety.
Incorrect installation will result in the scanner falling which could cause serious injury or death.
When desk mounting the scanner, and especially when working underneath your scanner to
install the desk mounting screws, ensure that your work surface is flat and stable. Mounting
brackets and fixings must be of sufficient strength to securely support your scanner's weight.
If your work surface is incapable of supporting the scanner's weight, or loses strength over
time, your scanner may fall, possibly causing serious personal injury.
When wall mounting the scanner, ensure that the installation location is strong enough to
support long term use. If its strength becomes insufficient over the course of long term use,
the scanner may drop, possibly causing injury. Do not install in places which are unable to bear
loads. Mounting brackets and fixings must be of sufficient strength to securely support the
scanner's weight. If the strength of the installation surface is insufficient, the scanner may fall
down and personal injury may result.
Desk or wall mounting your scanner must be undertaken by more than one person. Do not
attempt installation on your own.

Getting Started

After unpacking and mounting your scanner, getting started is as simple as plugging in power,
connecting your computer via Thunderbolt, launching Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve, and lacing
your film. If you want to immediately see your scan on an external monitor, you can load film,
manually tension it, and output it to an HDMI monitor. To learn more about this, refer to the
'lacing film,' and 'playback controls' section of this manual.

Installing the Software

Capture controls for your scanner are located in
DaVinci Resolve's film scanner panel, therefore,
the first thing you'll need to do when you're ready
to capture your scan is make sure DaVinci
Resolve is installed.
Your scanner comes with Blackmagic Cintel
Installer software including DaVinci Resolve, as
well as a DaVinci dongle allowing you to use the
full version of DaVinci Resolve.
You can use the packaged installer to get started,
however, we recommend downloading the latest
version of the Blackmagic Cintel Installer from the
Blackmagic Design support center at:
www.blackmagicdesign.com/support
Once your download has completed, unzip the file and double click on the Blackmagic Cintel
Installer. This will open a setup folder. Now simply run the installer files contained within the
setup folder and follow the prompts to install the software on your computer.
