NOTE The default wind type for your scanner is a B/A wind, meaning the feeding
spool unloads from the bottom and the taking spool loads across thetop. If the film
you are working with has been wound a different way, other combinations of A and B
winds are supported; simply select the appropriate wind type via the ‘feed’ and ‘take
up’ buttons in DaVinci Resolve’s film scanner panel.
Wind type affects which direction each spool turns, the position of the audio information and
perforations, and whether your film travels across the skid plate emulsion side up or down,
soitis important to use the appropriate combination for your project.
Select the appropriate wind type in DaVinci Resolve’s film scanner panel settings.
An easy way to remember the difference between A and B winds is that A winds unload andv
take up film from the top of the reel or spool, while B winds do the same from the bottom
