Setting The Reader For Audio Scanning - Blackmagicdesign Cintel Installation And Operation Manual

TIP When film is laced through the reader's audio path, DaVinci Resolve will
automatically record audio and add it to your clips. Alternatively, if it is laced
through the lower path no audio will be recorded.

Setting the Reader for Audio Scanning

Once your film is laced, go to DaVinci Resolve's film scanner panel and set the 'use film' and
'audio type' settings in the reader accessory pane. The option you choose in the 'audio source'
menu will change the options available in the 'use film' and 'audio type' menus.
These settings let you set which function you want your reader to perform, for example setting
the reader to scan KeyKode information, or to different audio types, for example optical or
magnetic audio.
The audio and KeyKode reader pane in DaVinci Resolve's film scanner panel
lets you change the 'use film' option between KeyKode and audio scanning
TIP The available options will differ depending on the type of film you have
loaded. For example, magnetic audio is available when 16mm is set as the film
type in DaVinci Resolve's film scanner panel.
Audio Source
Select the source for the audio to accompany the images you scan.
‚ None: No audio track. Options for 'use film' and 'audio' type are unavailable.
‚ Audio and KeyKode Reader: Read optical or magnetic audio from the film using the
Audio and KeyKode Reader.
‚ External Audio: Select this option to accept analog audio or AES/EBU digital audio via
the external XLR audio ports.
Use Film
Use these settings to determine the reader's KeyKode or audio reading functions.
For information on reading KeyKode data, refer to the 'Reading KeyKode' section.
The settings for the audio reader include:
Optical Audio: Choose this setting when you want to scan audio from an optical
‚
audio track.
You can tell if the audio track is optical by inspecting the film. If you're scanning 35mm
or 16mm film and see a continuous waveform or a long, tightly packed series of stripes
down one side, your print has an optical soundtrack.
