1 Introduction Thank you for your V1 purchase. The V1 is a random access video recorder that uses magnetic drives (hard drives) as a recording medium. To record video on a hard drive it should be digitized which means that the analog video information must be converted to a digital data stream. The V1 line of products includes uncompressed video recorders (8 and 10 bit encoding) and compressed video recorders, the trade off is between storage requirement and video quality.

5.3 Rear Panel Description The V1 rear panel differs from one version to another. V1-HD and V1-UHD have the same rear panel even if differences can be found dues to optional connectors – e.g., audio expansions: Figure 22: Rear Panel 5.3.1 Video In/Out Figure 23: Video In/Out SYNC IN House Sync input BNC connector for the V1 synchronization reference – Bi-Level or Tri-level sync input. Locks the V1 to an external sync source. Sync input should not exceed 1V P-P.

5.3.6 SCSI Standard 68-pin female connector for connection to external SCSI drives. When connecting external Raid5 storage, the raid box should be terminated. All V1 internal drives supplied by Doremi Labs, Inc. are internally terminated. V_1.OM.000160.DRM Page 30 of 85 Doremi Labs Version 5.
PAGE 31
6 Recording and Playback 6.1 Using the V1 Multi-File System 6.1.1 The Default File The V1 will always contain one default file. The primary purpose of the default file is to allow operation without using files, thereby maintaining compatibility with existing video tape recorders. The default file will not be included in the list of available files maintained by the V1, and will not be returned when a list of available files (clips) is requested.
PAGE 32
6.2 Recording Modes To avoid having repetitive time code within the same file, the V1 records in different ways depending on the Time Code Mode selected in MENU 2.  If Time Mode is set to Time Code or to ATC, the V1 will read the incoming time code selected and synchronizes itself to record at the proper position.  In all other modes, the V1 will record at the current position or at the end of file depending on the “Rec at:” setting in OPTION MENU (1) “Transport”. 6.
PAGE 33
6.4.3 Creating a Segment To work with segments, first ensure that OPTION MENU (1) Transport Emulate is set to V1. To create a segment, press IN button where you want the in point to be and press OUT where you want the out point to be. You may mark IN and OUT on-the-fly while you are playing or you can locate to each point individually (Enter Time Code and push GOTO or locate command on RS422) and enter the in and out points separately.
PAGE 34
Examples: To play the following list of segments: (4, 3, 8, 1, 4) the 4 at the end will cause the V1 to loop.
PAGE 35
6.5 Chase Command and Chase Modes The V1 can chase in two different ways. The Chase Command will force the V1 to synchronize to the incoming LTC and start playback, it will not stop when the LTC stops. In Chase Mode, the V1 will synchronize to the incoming LTC, Serial Time Code and stay synchronized as long as they are present. The V1 will stop when the time code stops. While in chase mode, if the time code stops, the V1 can be set to “free-wheel” for up to 10 frames.
PAGE 36
6.7 Time Code Offset This function will allow you to offset your time code track starting at any location (frame) on the file. For NTSC frame rates please select DF or NDF in OPTION MENU (17). To enter your Time Code Offset locate to any position on the drive, manually enter the new time code desired at that location and then hold down OPTION and then press the IN key. The Time Code offset will be permanently saved on the drive.
PAGE 37
7 Specific Applications 7.1 Using the V1 with Edit Controllers Before using the V1 with an Edit Controller ensure that OPTION MENU (1) Transport is set to Emulate DVW-500, BVW-75 or V1. Use the V1 and your edit controller as you would with a typical tape machine setup. 7.2 Synchronizing Multiple Units To synchronize the operation of multiple units you have three options. 1. Use the Doremi RCV2-9p remote controller and set to Gang Mode in CONTROLLER MENU (07). 2.
PAGE 38
Operation: All menus are pre-configured at the factory. Just make sure that LOOP MODE is set to ON on the Recorder and on the Player: 1. Press the 1 button to select the Recorder. 2. Go to Menu 7 and make sure that the available recording time exceeds the duration of the delay. If not hit OPTION CLEAR and erase previous CLIPs one by one until the remaining time in Menu 7 exceeds the duration of the delay. 3.
PAGE 39
Connections: 1. Feed the HDSDI signal from the camera to the HDSDI input of the V1-HD. Operation using a SloMo controller: 1. If you want your SloMo device to control the recorder channel, connect it to RS422-1 on the back of the V1-HD 2. Connect your SloMo controller to RS422-2 on the back of the unit, which will control the player channel. 3. Follow the operating instructions of your SloMo controller Operation using the V1 front panel (RCV2 controller): 1.

7.6.2 Overdubbing Video and Audio Tracks To overdub both video and audio on a section of your disk, you need to execute the “Chase Command” by holding OPTION while pressing PLAY. 1. 2. Use OPTION MENU (13) Edit Prst and select “Assemble ON”. Both the source machine and the V1 should be synchronized to the same reference (House Sync) and time code should be fed from the source machine into the TIME CODE input of the V1. 3. Execute the Chase command by holding down OPTION and pressing PLAY 4. 5.

 Press Enter to delete the file. Example:  The Video-part recording starts at 00:00:00:00 and ends at 00:10:20:25  The Key-part recording starts at 01:00:00:00 and ends at 01:12:01:07  The start of the needed Video-part starts at 00:01:02:03 and ends at 00:10:02:03 (total duration is 9 minutes)  A sync point on the Video part is located at 00:05:02:03  A sync point on the Key-part is located at 01:06:02:03 In this example the Merge function will use:  The Video-part from 00:01:02:03 to 00:10:02:03.

13 3D Note: For Video & Key the DLNK-2K option is required. This is now a standard option on the V1-HD-2K model. There are two methods to record 3D:  Single-pass Recording using two synchronized inputs.  Dual-pass Recording using a single input and the V1-HD Merge function. In both cases, the end result is a single file with locked 3D outputs. In addition to the video, and regardless of the bit-rate used; the V1-HD records 2, 4, 6 or 8 tracks of uncompressed audio (sampled at 48 KHz).
