Blackmagic Design Cintel Audio and Keykode Reader

$4,055.00

The Blackmagic Cintel Audio and KeyKode Reader is an essential archival accessory designed to extract high-fidelity audio and critical frame metadata directly from your film during the scanning process. Engineered to integrate seamlessly with the Cintel Scanner, this advanced reader captures optical audio, magnetic audio, and KeyKode information in real-time, completely eliminating the need for slow, secondary audio extraction passes and manual syncing.

What makes this specialized reader indispensable for historical preservation and post-production houses is its advanced digital sound processing. Utilizing modern digital sensors rather than aging mechanical sound heads, it captures the audio track optically and uses powerful software algorithms to automatically correct mechanical wow and flutter. This allows archivists to recover incredibly clean, synchronized sound from decades-old celluloid while embedding exact KeyKode edge numbers into the digital files for flawless DaVinci Resolve workflows.
