Magnetic Audio: If you want to scan the magnetic striped audio track on 16mm film,
setthe ‘use film’ setting to ‘magnetic audio’.
You can identify magnetic striped audio audio track on 16mm film by looking for a
blackstrip next to the frames. The black strip will be copper colored on the emulsion
side of the film.
NOTE When scanning magnetic stripe audio, we recommend setting your
scan speed to 24 frames per second for proper equalization. Scanning at other
speeds may require pitch adjustment in post.
Audio Type
Stereo or Mono Audio: Once you’ve selected the appropriate ‘use film’ option, choose
your audio type from the ‘audio type’ drop down menu. You can easily tell whether
optical audio is stereo or mono by inspecting your film. If you see two waveforms side
by side, your film has a stereo soundtrack. Ifyou only see one waveform, or the packed
stripes of variable density audio, your film has a mono soundtrack. Magnetic audio is
always mono.
Choose ‘stereo’ or ‘mono’ audio depending on the type of audio on the film
Flip Image
If the image is reversed when scanning audio from negative film types, tick the
‘flipimage’ checkbox.
Enable the ‘flip image’ option to mirror the frame.
Capture speed
When the Audio and KeyKode Reader is installed and configured to capture audio, your
Cintelscanner’s maximum scan speed will be capped to 125% of your film’s target frame rate.
Forexample, when scanning film intended for 24 frame per second playback, your scanner’s
maximum scan speed will be 30 frames per second. This ensures a 48 kHz sample rate.
