Sync Output - Blackmagic Design Cintel Scanner Installations- Und Bedienungsanleitung

Sync Output

Use the 'sync output' menu to choose a sync standard if the scanner is connected via an
XLR port on the side panel to external equipment that requires synchronization.
Bi-phase and timecode output options in the 'sync output' menu
'Bi-phase' outputs two single ended quadrature signals on the standard audio XLR3 differential
pair, so direction and frequency can be sensed at the rate you select. 'Timecode frame
synchronized' outputs a single timecode value per transported frame. 'Timecode fps playback
run' outputs timecodes at a fixed rate determined by your project's film frame rate. The voltage
output automatically switches between 4.5V for Bi-phase and 1.5V for Timecode selections.
NOTE Timecode output is supported for 24, 25 and 30 fps free running or frame
locked. Timecode output is unavailable for other frame rates.
Capture Speed
When the Audio and KeyKode Reader is installed and configured to capture audio, your
Cintel scanner's maximum scan speed will be capped to 125% of your film's target frame rate.
For example, when scanning film intended for 24 frame per second playback, your scanner's
maximum scan speed will be 30 frames per second. This ensures a 48 kHz sample rate.
Tracking
As the positioning of optical soundtracks can vary slightly from print to print, it is important to
ensure that your reader is scanning the correct audio area on the film. The tracking feature on
the audio reader lets you make fine adjustments to the position of the optical audio scanning
head to ensure you are getting the best possible quality.
To use the tracking feature:
1 Plug a set of headphones or an audio analyzer into your reader's 3.5mm headphone jack.
Lift open the rubber dust cover to access the connector.
2 With headphones on, or an analyzer plugged in, use your scanner's transport controls to
shuttle to a place in the film where audio is present and play the film.
