Load and Align the Film
Load the film you want to scan. In the presence of an image the scanner will automatically
align a frame. You should note that the image may be framed incorrectly if you first load blank
film leader.
Next, choose the film type. If necessary, use the 'perf nudge' and 'frame' buttons to manually
improve the alignment of the framing bar to the scanner's sensor such that 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.
Focus the Scanner
Just as you need to focus the lens on a camera, you'll need to focus the projected film image
on your scanner's sensor. To achieve perfect focus, turn on the Focus Assist checkbox in the
Film Scanner capture settings of DaVinci Resolve. This superimposes a focus peaking overlay
over the Ultra HD image that's output from the scanner's HDMI output, and is also displayed
in DaVinci Resolve's capture window. For the best results, connect an Ultra HD display to your
Cintel scanner so that you can monitor at the maximum available resolution while you focus.
With Focus Assist turned on, focus peaking will detect the film grain of the scanned image
whenever the film plane is in perfect focus. This enables the operator to focus the scanner
even if the film image is out of focus. Simply monitor the Ultra HD output of the scanner while
you turn the Cintel scanner's focus wheel. Your image will be in focus when the grain running
throughout the image displays peaking outlines.
You can verify the focal adjustments you've made by checking the edges of your film's
perforations. When these are sharp, your film will be in focus.
Reset the Timecode
To set the timecode for the roll of film you're about to scan, you need to locate the zero frame
for that roll. It's standard practice to punch a small physical hole within the frame before the
first frame of necessary film on a roll, to use as a permanent reference for whenever that roll is
scanned. This is referred to as the marker frame, lab roll hole, or head punch. By always setting
the first frame of timecode to match the marker frame, subsequent film scans will have the same
frame count as previous scans, making it possible to rescan and reconform the same material
whenever necessary.
To reset scanned timecode at the marker frame of a new film roll:
1 Use the transport controls under the viewer to locate the marker frame.
2 Click the 'viewer' option menu and choose 'current frame timecode.'
