Film type controls in the media page
Enable 2 Pass HDR Scan
Enables high dynamic range multi pass capture. It is important to perform an 'auto black'
or 'auto white' on a frame with a wide dynamic range as it determines the high and normal
exposure levels from your selected frame.
Perf Nudge
Used for making fine adjustments of the perf position relative to the scanner gate aperture.
Command-J nudges up, while Command-L nudges down.
Frame
These buttons are push and hold to activate. When on, the film is slowly advanced to move the
frame up or down and when released the film stops in place. This is useful for aligning the film
frame with the scanner's sensor. Using the 'perf nudge' and 'frame' buttons, you want to align
the visible film frame so the bottom of the previous frame and the top of the next frame are just
visible at the top and bottom of the viewer, and the current frame is centered vertically.
It's important to make sure the image in the viewer is not zoomed in when you do this.
Command-Left Arrow on your keyboard moves the frame up, while Command-Right Arrow
moves the frame down.
Scan Speed
With adequate disk performance, you should be able to scan at 30 fps. However, if you're
scanning to a slow hard drive, you can reduce the scanning speed to a frame rate that's suitable
for your workstation without dropping frames.
Supply Spool
Sets the wind direction of the left-hand side feed spool. While auto detection will prevent
incorrect operation, you should manually configure the reel winding direction based on how
each film roll is wound.
Take Up Spool
Sets the wind direction of the right hand side take up spool. While auto detection will prevent
incorrect operation, you should manually configure the reel winding direction based on how
each film roll is wound.
Use Film Reel
Small film reels have a different weight and inertia compared to large film spools, and this can
affect the transport system. Tick this box to switch to settings that offer improved stability for
small film reels.
