The Cintel Scanner Interface
Click on the ‘capture’ button in the UI toolbar at the top of the DaVinci Resolve screen to set the
media page to control your Cintel scanner. Open DaVinci Resolve’s film scanner panel to set up,
calibrate, and choose options for logging or scanning a selected range of the currently spooled
roll of film. If you want more room for viewing the Cintel scanner controls, click the full height
button that’s all the way to the right of the UI toolbar, and turn off the ‘metadata’ panel.

CintelScanner mode to scan clips from film into the media pool.
