Latin America. Blackmagic Design today unveiled the new KeyKode audio and number reader for the Cintel scanner. This accessory allows to digitize in real time the audio and the information contained in the identification code of the film along with the images.
This new accessory allows to accurately extract the audio and information contained in the KeyKode code, directly from the negative and at the time of scanning. It has a head for 16/35 mm magnetic tapes with cyan, magenta or silver halide layers, an intense red LED with state-of-the-art optical system, electronically formed grooves and precise mechanical adjustments for the azimuth that provide an extraordinary response to the frequency and allow to capture the audio in an exceptional way, thus achieving a perfect synchronization with the images.
The high-precision encoder automatically corrects jitter and tremolo, thus offering the ability to capture audio accurately, even when scanner speed varies.
The reader also offers the possibility to scan keykode numbers. These consist of a unique identification code for each frame that facilitates its correlation with each digitized frame. This feature simplifies the dynamics of work in the field of post-production, especially when cutting or trimming already edited material from different rolls of film.
Grant Petty, CEO of Blackmagic Design, said: "The new KeyKode audio and number reader is ideal as it allows audio and images to be digitized at the same time, achieving perfect synchronization. It also extracts the information contained in the KeyKode code, which speeds up the work dynamics in the post-production stage."
