3. Operational Preparations SDC 2002 3. OPERATIONAL PREPARATIONS The sections of the chapter ”Operational Preparations” have a defined order. Preceding sections are mostly precondition for the succeeding sections (such as ”Perform FPN correction” before ”Thread the film” etc.) and should therefore be considered when setting into operation. 3.1. HARDWARE CONDITIONS GCP Installation The Graphical Control Panel has to be connected to the Spirit DataCine.
PAGE 18
3. Operational Preparations 3.2. SDC 2002 POWER-UP The film scanner is powered up with the mains switch ”Power” at the front of the film scanner (Fig. 301: 1). To switch on the Graphical Control Panel GCP1 ( Fig. 301: 2), press the power button 3. To avoid EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) problems keep the rear doors always closed during operation! After 15 minutes operating time, all characteristics are stabilized.

3. Operational Preparations SDC 2002 3.4. USER-SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION OF THE FILM SCANNER 3.4.1. CHANGE OPTICAL BLOCK Changing the optical block (Super 16 mm, Super 35 mm/FA 35mm LGA - Lens Gate Assembly) optically matches the film scanner to the wanted film format. Change LGA 1. Remove the threaded film from the optical block, if necessary. 2. Unlock the optical block (LGA, lens gate assembly). For this purpose, move the locking lever on the right of the optical block in upwards ccw direction.
PAGE 23
3. Operational Preparations SDC 2002 3.4.2. CHANGE THE FILM GATE Super optical blocks need an additional film gate (option) when operating standard films. Change 1. Open the film gate locking. For that reason hold the film gate locking lever at the lower end and pull it up. 2. Remove the built-in film gate. 3. Insert and lock the new film gate. 4. Perform FPN correction (see section 3.5.). Film gate Film gate locking lever Fig.

3. Operational Preparations 3.4.3. SDC 2002 USING EFFECT FILTERS Precautions! D Insert a filter drawer into the filter drawer slot with filter facing up and the filter side heading as shown in the figure below. D Take care of not fastened filters or hold downs. These can drop into the AIH or LGA and may cause damage to the system. D Do not insert any foreign object into the filter drawer slot. This could result in a malfunction and a damage to the unit.
PAGE 25
3. Operational Preparations SDC 2002 AIH Attention! Never insert the filter with the filter facing down! Slot Fig. 308: Note! The filter drawer is correctly installed when the white filter drawer indicator is visible! To ensure the correct position of the filter and electromagnetic compatibility, the filter door must always be installed during operation. AIH Filter Door Filter drawer indicator LGA Fig. 309: Operating Instructions - Rev. 1 / 6.
PAGE 26
3. Operational Preparations SDC 2002 1. General The Effect Filter Case FH 6910 facilitates the usage of optical effect filters for the Spirit DataCine film scanner. It consists of a selection of drawers, which position filters in the optical path between the projection lens and the CCD sensors. 14 different kinds of supermist filters are provided with the upgrade kit. Each filter is protected in its own drawer.
PAGE 27
3. Operational Preparations SDC 2002 Filter types The type of the filter White Supermist or Black Supermist can be identified at the front label of the drawer. Fig. 311: 2. Additional Filter and Filter Drawer Set a. Filter Drawer Set (5 pcs, w.o. filters) is optional available. Spare part order no.: 3 119 100 288 b. Filters Please order spare or additional filters directly from: South London Filter LTD.

3. Operational Preparations SDC 2002 4. Insert Filter into Filter Drawer Fixing Filter only with Filter hold-down (for test purposes only) Insert a prepared filter into the filter drawer and fix it at the drawer with the filter holddown as shown in figure Fig. 314: . Do not remove the tape protection foils from the filter drawer and filter hold-down. Note! The height of filter and filter hold-down must not surmount the filter drawer upper edge.
PAGE 30
3. Operational Preparations SDC 2002 6. Fixing Filter with double-sided Tape The filter drawers are provided with a double-sided adhesive tape. This tape serves for fixing a filter permanently in the drawer. Insert a prepared filter into the filter drawer and fix it with the double-sided tape as shown in Fig. 316: . Before doing this, remove the protective foil from the doublesided tape in the drawer. Important! The thickness of filter material must not surmount the filter drawer upper edge.

3. Operational Preparations SDC 2002 7. Insert Filter Drawer Adjust Focus to the value >15,000 Menu Home - focus Filter drawer cannot be inserted if the focus slide is in the range of 0 up to 15,000. s Fig. 317: Remove the filter door from the AIH, for this purpose loosen the captive fastener, see Figure Fig. 318: . Insert the filter drawer into the filter drawer slot with filter facing up and the filter side heading as shown in the figure below.
PAGE 32
3. Operational Preparations SDC 2002 Re-install filter door. To avoid damage to the focus mechanism and filter drawer and to ensure electromagnetic compatibility, press the filter door firm against the sealing tape (around the compartment opening) and tighten it with the captive fastener. Warning! To ensure the correct position of the filter and electromagnetic compatibility, the filter door must always be installed during operation.
PAGE 33
3. Operational Preparations SDC 2002 Normal FPN correction should always be done without the effect filter to ensure perfect correction. If FPN is performed with a filter inserted, FPN correction will only be correct for this special filter. 8. Adjust Focus The usage of light effect filters can cause de-focussing of the system. It is recommended to adjust the focus of the AIH when an effect filter is being installed or changed. Setting The focus slider controls the focus servo in the film scanner.

3. Operational Preparations 3.6. SDC 2002 THREAD THE FILM Thread the film according to the film threading path printed on the film deck. Before the film can be threaded, the following preparations have to be made. 3.6.1. DEFINE WINDING DIRECTION The both switches A/B on the film deck are to be set in position A (= PLAY position) for normal film operation. During operation both film reels wind anti-clockwise. Position B is used only for rewinding a film wound side-inverted.

3. Operational Preparations SDC 2002 3.6.2. USING FIXED WINDING PLATES Two fixed winding plates can be mounted on the filmscanner.To adapt any filmtypes to the winding plates use the inlays for bobbins or the inlays for reels as well as the two locking devices. The inlays for 16/35mm films are delivered with the filmscanner or can be ordered separately (9mm spindle= FH6609 / 8mm spindle FH6608). The inlays for S8mm films are optional. 3.6.3. MOUNT FILM ROLLS Mounting film rolls 1.
