Drive Wheel Types

Cintel Scanner comes equipped with capstans or sprocket wheels depending on the model
of scanner. Both types of drive wheels rotate to advance or rewind the film, and then stop to
align each frame accurately within the gate of the image sensor. Drive wheels are integral to the
scanner and cannot be exchanged for a different type of drive wheel.
Capstans grip the film with a moderate amount of friction and
are gentle on film with fragile or damaged perforations
Sprocket wheels have a series of teeth to engage with perforations in the
film without making contact with the area of film containing the image frame
The leading drive wheel drags the film, while the secondary drive wheel acts as a tensioner
wheel to make sure the film is traveling smoothly over the skid plate. The symmetrical
arrangement of drive wheels in Cintel Scanner means it can transport film forward or backward
with equal care and precision at a wide range of speeds.

Lacing Film

Now that your scanner and DaVinci Resolve are communicating with each other, you can lace
up your film.
Accessing the Scanner
Open your scanner's sliding doors.
On the internal front panel you'll see a feeding spool on the left, and a take up spool on
the right. The feeding spool holds the film to be scanned, and the taking spool collects the
scanned film.
Setting Film Wind
Set the 'wind type' so the spools turn in the appropriate direction. Go to DaVinci
Resolve's film scanner panel and set the 'wind type' to B/A by clicking 'B' and 'A' on the
'supply spool' and 'take up spool' buttons respectively.
