How really works a Rank Cintel ?

Does these machines works at slow frame rate (i.e. 8, 10 fps)?
To each film frame corresponds a viedo frame? (frame to frame synchronism)?

I think that they go at a very high frame rate. I think my colorist said that he can run through my footage at about 70/80fps. I don't know if that is just for timing or for the Xfer itself.

I'm finding this thread to be quite bizarre so far.

A Rank Citel works by scanning a each frame with a 'flying spot electron beam.' It uses a 3:2 pulldown system to achieve 30fps. Basically, every fourth frame is doubled. I am unsure how fast it actually does this.

OK, I undestand.
That?s would means that each frame is captured individually, and to each film frame corresponds a video frame without mixture.
