Click 'start'.
All the clips on your timeline will now be transcoded to DPX files with the KeyKode embedded.
For more information about transcoding your Cintel Raw files to other formats, refer to the
Media Management section of the DaVinci Resolve manual.
You can also render your Cintel Raw files as DPX files with embedded KeyKode by going to
DaVinci Resolve's 'Deliver' page and exporting your files as DPX files. Make sure you select
'individual source clips' in the 'render' settings to make sure each file is exported separately.

To ensure optimal scan quality, it is important to keep your scanner clean and dust free. This is
easily done by regularly cleaning the particle transfer rollers and using an air duster to clean the
rest of your scanner's contact surfaces including its hard rubber rollers, drive wheels and
skid plate.
Cleaning the Particle Transfer Rollers
Cleaning the particle transfer rollers, or PTRs, should be done after every film run. To clean the
rollers, simply remove the O-ring at the end of each PTR spindle and slide off the roller. Apply
warm, soapy water to the rollers using household dishwashing detergent and allow them to air
dry. We don't recommend towel or blow drying as this can deposit new particles on the rollers or
heat deform them. Once dry, simply slide the rollers and O-ring back on and you're ready to scan.
If the PTRs are becoming hard to remove or install, apply a thin layer of silicon grease to the
inside of the O rings. This will help maintain lubrication so they are easier to remove for cleaning.
To clean the particle transfer rollers, simply remove the O-ring
at the end of each PTR spindle and slide off the roller.
If you find your particle transfer rollers losing stickiness even after washing, or have become
difficult to mount and remove through age, wear and tear, you can purchase new rollers from
