Blackmagic Cintel Audio and KeyKode Reader
The Cintel Audio and KeyKode Reader bolts onto a Cintel Scanner and captures the soundtrack and the edge numbers in the same pass as the picture. For archive work that matters, because it means the audio arrives already in sync with the frames rather than needing to be conformed afterwards.
It reads optical and magnetic soundtracks and decodes KeyKode edge numbering, feeding both to DaVinci Resolve alongside the scanned image so a restoration project carries its original identifiers through the timeline. It mounts to the scanner and is powered and controlled from it, so no separate operator position is needed.
