'A' wind
'B' wind
An easy way to remember the difference between A and B winds
is that A winds unload and take up film from the top of the reel
or spool, while B winds do the same from the bottom
Switching to 16mm
The optional Cintel Scanner 16mm gate kit contains all the parts you'll require and making the
changes to your scanner's setup are minimal.
16mm Skid Plate
The 16mm kit contains a 16mm skid plate, two 16mm spacers, two 16mm outer spacers and four 1mm spacers
Swapping the Skid Plate
Swap the 35mm skid plate with the 16mm skid plate by pushing the retention levers down on the
front of the 35mm plate and turning them outwards. Now remove the 35mm plate and replace
it with the 16mm plate. When fitting a skid plate, make sure that the retention levers are lifted all
the way up before turning them inwards, or the plate may not seat properly.
