1 Introduction

Doremi Asset Manager simplifies the selection and Ethernet transfer of video files such as Quick Time, MXF, AVI, and WMV to the Nugget and V1's internal hard drive. The operator simply adds the desired files into Asset Manager's clip database and the software will transparently handle the synchronization and transfer of content to the device.
Doremi Asset Manager (DoremiAM) is designed to control and transfer media files to Doremi Nugget Players and Doremi V1 servers (HD, UHD and UHD/LE series), which will simply be referred as V1 throughout this manual.
Note: The Doremi Asset Manager will be referred to as DoremiAM throughout this manual.
The Doremi Asset Manager Manual complies with the following products:
• Doremi Asset Manager Version 5.2.x;
• Nugget version 2.x;
• Nugget Post Version 5.x;
• NUG SDI Version 94; and
• V1-HD, V1-UHD, V1-UHD/LE Version 4.70 or higher (Note: Only serial numbers above
20100 are supported*).
The Asset Manager is the only software utility you need to manage your database, playback files and upgrade the firmware of your unit.
The Major Features added to the Asset Manager Version 5.1.x include:
• Multi-Thread support
• V1 Firmware upgrade
• Share Database between computers
• Final Cut Pro Plug-In for Mac Users only

1.1 System Requirements

1.2 Database Notice:

The database structure for this version of Doremi Asset Manager has changed and is not backwards compatible with version 5.0.0 or lower. When the software loads for the first time, we suggest that you create a new database instead of using an existing one.
*************************************************************************************************************
In addition to Elementary, Program and Transport stream MPEG2 files, DoremiAM can transfer Quick Time, AVI, WMV, MXF and Image Sequence files to all supported devices listed above.

1.3 Nugget Post

The Nugget Post is a special version of the Nugget:
• This unit is designed for Post Production Applications;
• It does not have Play-list capabilities and works only with I-Only files;
• This version is designed to support variable speed commands such as:
- Fast Forward
- Rewind
- Jog
- Shuttle, etc.
When DoremiAM is connected to a Nugget Post, some additional options will appear. These options will be mentioned and explained in this manual in more detail. Note: Such options are not always demonstrated by a screen capture.

1.4 How to Connect to the Nugget:

To connect to the Nugget your PC has to have an IP Address within the same range as the Nugget (ex: if the Nugget's IP is 192.168.100.191, set your PC's IP to 192.168.100.159) you can use a crossover cable or an Ethernet switch with 2 standard Ethernet cables.

1.5 Using Doremi Asset Manager with V1 Units

The V1 is a random access Digital Video Server with recording capabilities.
The V1 line of products includes uncompressed video servers (8 and 10 bit encoding) and compressed video servers; the trade off is between storage requirements and video quality.
When DoremiAM is connected to a V1 (HD, UHD or UHD/LE), some additional options will appear and other options will not be active. These options will be mentioned throughout this manual.
Note: The connection between your V1 and PC needs to be on a separate network isolated from the main network. Use a separate NIC and separate network to connect to you V1.

1.5.1 How to Connect to the V1

To connect to the V1, your PC has to have an IP within the same range as the V1 (for example, if the V1's IP is 10.1.10.190, set your PC's IP to 10.1.10.100) you can use a crossover cable or an Ethernet switch with 2 standard Ethernet cables.

default” button.
• Profiles can be Deleted, Imported or Exported using the “Delete,” “Import” and “Export” buttons.

3.5.3 Nugget Specific Parameters

• Encode if necessary: Encode all files except MPEG2
• Encode all files: Encode all files including MPEG2
• Encode all files except I-Only: Encode all file except I-Only MPEG2. On Nugget Post
installations, select one of the two “Post productions” profiles from the list and click on
“Set as default.” Select the desired bitrate for SD files. We recommend 15-25 Mbits/sec Select the GOP structure I-Only, Single Pass Closed GOP or Dual Pass Open GOP (see Figure
58) Note: For Nugget-Post only I-GOP can be used. Select the Chroma 420 or 422 (see Figure 58) Check the Interlace option to import progressive files as interlaced.. Select the desired bitrate for HD files. We recommend 40-70 Mbits/sec for I-Only / Single Pass
Closed GOP and 40Mbits/sec or less for Dual Pass Open GOP. To import 24/30/60 frames per second files as 23.98/29.97/59.94 FPS files, check the
appropriate box. Since playing a file at a lower speed will increase the duration, DoremiAM will time stretch the audio to keep video and audio synchronization.
3.5.3.1 V1-HD Specific
When the active database is of type V1-HD, importing 1920x1080 image sequences at 47,48,50,59,60 FPS is possible. For example at 59FPS the database clip will be 1080p-59 and will be sent to the V1-HD as 3D 1080i-59 which is the same as 1080p-59.
3.5.3.2 V1 and Nugget Units
• Click on Scaling and Resolutions to set the scaling method.
• Select the frame rate for Image Sequence imports. This frame rate applies only when
you import an image sequence (See Figure 58).
• Click “Ok” or “Close” to exit the Profile Manager window.

3.5.4 Using Profiles

You can use the profile you want during an import or transfer by selecting the “Encoding Options” tab on Dormei AM Transfer (see Figure 47) and selecting the profile of your choice. Click “Finish” when you are done.
Note: To have access to the “Import to Doremi AM Database” feature, the Nugget Player should have firmware version 1.4.28-1 or higher – check the Nugget’s firmware version using the “Info” tab as shown in Figure 23 above.

3.5.5 The Pre-Defined Profiles

For each database type, DoremiAM creates one or more pre-defined profiles. One of these profiles is set to be the default profile at installation time, however, you can select any other profile and make it the “Default Profile.”
Note: ON NUGGET POST INSTALLATIONS, SELECT ONE OF THE TWO “POST PROD.” PROFILES FROM THE LIST AND CLICK ON “SET AS DEFAULT.”

3.5.6 The Default Profile

When you Import an Audio/Video Media file to the DoremiAM database, the profile used will automatically be the “default” profile unless you change it.

3.5.7 Generating Side/Side and Top/Bottom 3D Files

Beginning with the 4.4.x version of DoremiAM, Nugget users can generate 3D side/side or top/bottom clips from two left/right eye media files.
Connect the Nugget SDI or DVI output to a Dimension-3D unit to feed any 3D display device.
How does it work?
Left and Right eye files must reside in the same folder and should have identical names, except for the identifiers defined in the profile (case sensitive). Since the profile does not allow for “slipping”, both Left and Right eye files must be properly synchronized at merge time. DoremiAM can generate Side/Side or Top/Bottom 3D material.
Note: The side/side and top/bottom selection mode is available for the Nugget only.

3.5.8 How to Generate a 3D clip (Nugget Specific)

• Go to the Clip Databse Tab and slect “Add to Doremi AM.”
• From the Encoding Options window select the Stereoscopic Options tab.
• Check the “Generate 3D” box (see Figure 59).
• For video files choose Identifier and designate the identifier for left and right eyes. (e.g. If
your identifiers are LEFT and RIGHT the files will be named Video_LEFT and
Video_RIGHT.)
• For image sequences choose ether to designate the odd frames or even frames for the
left or right eye.
• Choose the mode, side/side or top/bottom of the 3D file by using the drop-down arrow
(see Figure 59).
• Select whether to use the audio from the right or left eye file by using the Audio From
drop-down box; to dub an audio track to the file, see Section 3.6 of this manual below.
• Click “Ok” on the Source list window when you are done.
• The two files will be imported as a 3D file and will appear in the Clip database tagged as
3D.

3.5.9 Nugget and V1 Special Features

This paragraph highlights some of the important features of each device supported by DoremiAM.
3.5.9.1 V1-HD (compressed)
Uses JPEG-2000 compression, supports recording and full resolution 3D formats with separate left and right eye SDI outputs. Formats supported are SD, HD, 2K and 3D.
Audio From
Drop Down-Box
Figure 59:Stereoscopic Options Tab – Nugget
3.5.9.2 V1-UHD
Uncompressed 8 or 10 bit server with recording capabilities. Formats supported are SD, HD and 2K.
3.5.9.3 Nugget
MPEG2 422 and 420 player with built in pixel aspect ratio (PAR) converter. 3D support is provided in conjunction with the Dimension-3D unit. Formats supported are SD and HD.
Because of the Nugget's built in PAR converter, HDV and DVCProHD files are imported to a Nugget database without scaling (1440x1080 and 1280x1080), however, importing such files to a V1 database will result in scaling the files to 1920x1080, which makes the import process a bit longer.
AMR.OM.000163.DRM Page 60 Version 2.2
Doremi Labs Inc.
3.5.9.4 Nugget + Dimension-3D
Combining the Nugget-Pro with a Dimension-3D will make for a low cost high definition 3D server that supports most popular 3D display formats like Side/Side, Top/Bottom, Line/Line, Sequential and dual stream Left and Right SDI. DoremiAM will encode left and right media files to side/side or top/bottom media that can be transferred to the Nugget. The Dimension-3D will convert the Nugget output from side/side or top/bottom to the 3D format required by the display device.

3.6 Audio Dubbing

If you receive the video and audio in separate files or if you want to change the audio of an existing clip, you can use the Audio Dubbing feature of Doremi AM. If you don’t want to alter the original clip, you can make a duplicate copy and work on it.
Duplicating a clip:
From the “Clip Database” tab on the main GUI select the clip you wish to duplicate and click the “Duplicate” button.
• The Duplicate window will appear.
• Press the expand arrow underneath the thumbnail and the un-check the check-box next
