By lacing your film through the upper section of the reader, you can extract optical and
magnetic soundtracks from your film.
When film is laced through the reader’s lower section, you can capture KeyKode information.
KeyKode data is located near the perforation area on some negative film stocks and typically
contains data about the position of frames within a reel, information to help identify the film roll,
and additional details such as the type of film stock. The scanned information is saved as
metadata within each Cintel Raw frame.
TIP Your Cintel scanner can still capture optical soundtrack information without the
Audio and KeyKode Reader attached. Simply use the extract audio feature in the
DaVinci Resolve film scanner panel after you have scanned your film. For more
information on extracting optical audio see the ‘extracting audio’ section in this
manual.
Attaching the Audio and KeyKode Reader
The reader is powered by your scanner’s left options interface, which is the 6 pin accessory
XLR connector underneath the feeding spool.
To attach the Audio and KeyKode Reader to your Cintel Sanner:
1 First make sure power is disconnected from your Cintel scanner.
2 On the reader’s upper adjustment knob, you’ll find a small retention screw recessed
into one side. Use a 1.5mm Allen key to loosen this screw and slide the knob off its
spindle. This lets you remove the reader’s upper cover.
Use a 1.5mm allen key to loosen the adjustment knob’s retention
screw, then remove the knob from its spindle
