Transport Controls:
appearance to those used while in playback mode, now work to control the Cintel
scanner. Additional controls appear for moving forward or backward a frame at a time.
In and Out Controls:
transport controls define a range of the film roll from which to capture.
The following groups of settings appear to the right of the 'media' page viewer when in
Cintel Scanner mode to scan clips from film into the media pool.
Calibration
This option lets you calibrate the optics of the scanner to eliminate optical blemishes or dust
that cannot be removed. Please note that this feature does not remove dust from the film itself.
The calibration button can be used to help remove dust or small
blemishes from the optics of your Cintel scanner.
Calibrate:
This button lets you eliminate light optical blemishes and dust from the
optics of the Cintel scanner via digital calibration. While it's recommended to "spray
dust" the optics before scanning new material, it's possible over time for some
blemishes on the optics to be unremovable, in which case using the calibrate button
will eliminate them from the scanned image.
The skid plate does not normally need to be removed for calibration, however, in cases
where there is severe dirt, remove the skid plate, dust it, and then reinstall it. Use the
'calibrate' button before you load film into the scanner, while there's nothing in the
optical path, to remove any remaining optical blemishes or dust.
Calibrate the optics with the skid plate installed and correctly aligned, as this assists
with image stabilization and offers the best image quality.
Film Type
These controls let you select the type of film you're scanning, align the film with the sensor,
and choose what speed you're scanning at.
