Closing the Scanner Doors
For the best quality scan we recommend closing your scanner's sliding doors. The doors are
designed to gently close when they are almost shut, so all you need to do is slide them towards
each other until you feel the spring mechanism take over. When closed, the doors will block any
light from entering the film gate.
Your scanner's high quality light source eliminates light pollution in all but the most brightly lit
workspaces. Because film is quite shiny it can reflect lights in the ceiling which may show up as
blotches in your capture. You can avoid this by keeping the scanner doors shut while scanning.
Now that you have laced your film, set the tension, focused your image and closed the scanner
doors, you can start capturing!
Please refer to the Cintel section of the DaVinci Resolve reference manual for details on
calibrating the light source, setting the stabiliser, and the capture palette settings for capturing
images. The DaVinci reference manual also details how to sync optical audio and shows how
you can manage your capture files when scanning.
If you are looking for information on how to maintain and service your scanner, including
detailed information about your scanner's technical specifications, refer to the 'servicing'
and 'specifications' sections near the end of this manual.

Using Your Scanner

This section of the manual shows you how to load different film wind types for 8mm and 16mm
film, provides instructions on installing and adjusting the optional 8mm and 16mm gate kits and
describes how to use the local transport controls on your Cintel scanner.

Wind Types

The 'wind type' refers to the loading and unloading position, as well as the turn direction of film
on your scanner's feeding and taking spools. As you can see in the diagram below, an 'A' wind
refers to film loading/unloading from the top of the spool, while a B type loads or unloads from
the bottom. This is true for both the feeding and taking spools.
The default wind type for your scanner is a B/A wind, meaning the feeding spool unloads
from the bottom and the taking spool loads across the top. If the film you are working with
has been wound a different way, other combinations of A and B winds are supported; simply
select the appropriate wind type via the 'feed' and 'take up' buttons in DaVinci Resolve's film
scanner panel.
Wind type affects which direction each spool turns, the position of the audio information and
perforations, and whether your film travels across the skid plate emulsion side up or down,
so it is important to use the appropriate combination for your project.
Select the appropriate wind type in DaVinci Resolve's film scanner panel settings.
