'Bi-phase' outputs two single ended quadrature signals on the standard audio XLR3 differential
pair, so direction and frequency can be sensed at the rate you select. 'Timecode frame
synchronized' outputs a single timecode value per transported frame. 'Timecode fps playback
run' outputs timecodes at a fixed rate determined by your project's film frame rate. The voltage
output automatically switches between 4.5V for Bi-phase and 1.5V for Timecode selections.
Calibration
This option lets you calibrate the optics of the scanner to eliminate optical blemishes or dust
that cannot be removed. Please note that this feature does not remove dust from the film itself.
The calibration button can be used to help remove dust or small
blemishes from the optics of your Cintel scanner.
Calibrate:
This button lets you eliminate light optical blemishes and dust from the
optics of the Cintel scanner via digital calibration. While it's recommended to "spray
dust" the optics before scanning new material, it's possible over time for some
blemishes on the optics to be unremovable, in which case using the calibrate button
will eliminate them from the scanned image.
The skid plate does not normally need to be removed for calibration, however, in cases
where there is severe dirt, remove the skid plate, dust it, and then reinstall it. Use the
'calibrate' button before you load film into the scanner, while there's nothing in the
optical path, to remove any remaining optical blemishes or dust.
TIP
Calibrate the optics with the skid plate installed and correctly aligned, as
this assists with image stabilization and offers the best image quality.
Film Type
These controls let you select the type of film you're scanning, align the film with the sensor, and
choose what speed you're scanning at.
Film Type controls in the Media page
Film Type:
Lets you choose what type of film you're scanning. The choices are positive,
negative, interpositive, and internegative. HDR scanning offers an improvement for
all these film types. Select the reel type you're scanning from 35mm 2, 3, and 4 perf,
and 16mm.
TIP
The scanner automatically detects whether the film is 35mm or 16mm.
