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.

• To save the changes you have made to the unit, click “Apply” when you are done.
• To save the changes you have made to the flash (default settings after power up), click
“Save as default”.
• To export the current settings to a file, click “Save,” you will then be prompted to enter a
settings file name.
• To abort the changes and restore the unit’s current settings, click “Discard”.
• To load an existing settings file from your computer, click “Load”, select the
corresponding settings file then hit “Save settings”.
• The Local/Remote and Visual Cues sections will only appear on the Nugget Post.
• The Time Mode section is grayed out on the Nugget Post but it is enabled on the Non-

• The Burn in Window (BIW) located in “General Tab” field has a drop-down folder (see
the note below for more information on the BIW feature).
Note: The BIW is used when performing editing work on a clip such as visual timecode reference, background settings (Black/White, White/White), positioning, and sizes.
