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.

Setting the Reader for KeyKode Scanning

After you lace film through the KeyKode reader and tension it, you need to configure your
Cintel scanner to read KeyKode. Go to the DaVinci Resolve film scanner panel and in the 'use
film' menu select 'KeyKode Perforations' or 'KeyKode Frames'. When you export a DPX file,
KeyKode information will be represented in frames or perforations accordingly.
Select 'KeyKode Perforations' or 'KeyKode Frames' from the
'use film' menu to scan KeyKode data on negative film prints
