Blackmagic Design Cintel Scanner Installations- Und Bedienungsanleitung Seite 55

3 While listening to, or analyzing, the audio of your film, rotate the tracking knob clockwise or
counterclockwise. The tracking knob is located on the upper section of your reader. As you
adjust the tracking knob, the scanning head will move closer or further away from the film's
edge so you can refine its position over the optical track. You will also hear the loudness
and clarity of the audio change as the tracking is adjusted. An audio analyzer will operate
on the same principle, but with more precision, as you move the tracking knob.
For stereo tracks, simply make adjustments until you find the optimum position where both
channels are equally strong and clear with no distortion.
For mono audio, it's effective to set the audio type to stereo when adjusting the tracking.
This lets you use the left and right stereo channels to center the track, which will ensure the
mono track will scan at the best quality. However, don't forget to reset the audio type to mono
after you have optimized the tracking.

Previewing Audio via HDMI and the Headphones Jack
Film soundtracks are printed several frames ahead of the images they sync to, therefore, your
Cintel scanner automatically delays the audio so it is synced to the picture via the HDMI output
and also synced in the scanned clip.
The headphones jack outputs real time, non-synced audio directly from the soundtrack.
This means that when you make tracking adjustments, you can hear the difference immediately
without a delay.
