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.
Hopefully this introduction explains to the reader the basic technical principles of digital video
disk recording.
1.1 V1 Uncompressed HD
The V1-UHD and V1-UHD/LE (for HDTV video) series records the video directly on the hard
drive without the use of compression. The value priced V1-UHD/LE supports 8bit HD video
recording only.
1.2 V1 Compressed HD: JPEG2000
Doremi’s V1-HD product line uses JPEG2000 video compression.
1.3 The CBS Algorithm
The V1 uses a constant block size (CBS) algorithm. With traditional compression algorithms,
depending on video complexity, the size of each compression field can vary thus requiring
maintaining a list to indicate the start of each field on the drive. With CBS all fields have the
same maximum size. Consequently, CBS does not require maintaining a list indicating the start
of each field because they are all the same size. This results in a more reliable video recorder
with faster video access and frame accurate recording.
1.4 Audio and Time Code
In addition to the video, and regardless of the compression ratio used, the V1 records 2, 4, 6 or
8 tracks of uncompressed audio (sampled at 48Khz). It also records the LTC and digital-VITC
timecodes.

5 Product Description
5.1 Overview: V1-HD vs V1-UHD
Figure 15: V1-UHD and V1-UHD/LE Overview
The V1-UHD offers the superior resolution of high definition video in a compact full featured disk
recorder. Instant access to video, uncompressed recording and networkable operation make the
V1-UHD the ideal multi-format recorder. The V1-UHD is only three rack units high and is
available with fixed or hot swappable internal drives. An external RAID5 chassis is also
available.
The V1-UHD records high definition serial digital video (HD-SDI) and standard definition SDI
video. Frame accurate control via RS-422 makes the V1-UHD a drop-in replacement for any HD
video tape recorder. The available Gigabit Ethernet interface is ideal for fast network transfer of
still image and movie files to/form graphics and editing workstations.
The V1-UHD/LE is a value version of the V1-UHD with two removable hot-swap drives. The V1UHD/LE only supports 8bit HD-SDI recording. SD video can be recorded at 10bit or 8bit.
Figure 16: V1-HD Overview
Doremi's V1-HD server sets the standard for affordable high-performance HD video recording.
The V1-HD records HD-SDI and SDI video using JPEG2000 compression at up to 300Mb/s.

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. The default file may be specified
and used for all other purposes. If no other valid file has been specified and loaded, such as on
initialization and errors, the V1 will load the default file.
6.1.2 Creating a New File
Hold OPTION and press SAVE, the LCD will show you the automatically assigned name, press
ENTER to create the file or ESCAPE to abort.
6.1.3 Loading an Existing File
Hold OPTION and press RECALL. Turn the JOG WHEEL to browse through existing files,
press ENTER to load the selected file or ESCAPE to abort.
6.1.4 Erasing a File
Hold OPTION and press CLEAR. Turn the JOG WHEEL to browse through existing files, press
ENTER to erase the selected file or ESCAPE to abort.
6.1.5 Files and Time Code
Each file is considered to have available a “pre-striped” time code range with continuous
ascending time code beginning at 00:00:00:00 through the largest valid time code position
specified in OPTION MENU (3) “New Rec Set”, the default value is 24 hours. When in A-time
mode, video material may be recorded at any time code position within the file, when in TimeCode mode video is recorder at the incoming time code position. Time code positions that have
never been recorded over are considered to be black video.
6.1.6 Setting Recording Parameters for each File
Each file can have different recording parameters. The recording parameters that will be saved
when a new file is created are in the OPTION MENU (3) New Rec Set which includes
compression ratio, bit rate, number of audio tracks, duration, NTSC or PAL, 1080i or 720p HD
formats etc. The available settings depend on the V1 model in use and the options installed.
6.1.7 Mixing Recording Parameters
Every file can have its own recording parameters (such as compression ratio), but to create
play-lists that use more than one file, the recording parameters should be the same for all files.
If they are not, the transition between files during playback will no longer be seamless.
V_1.OM.000160.DRM Page 30 Version 5.0
Doremi Labs, Inc.
Page 31
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”.
6.3 The V1 and Supporting control Protocols
6.3.1 Serial Machine Control (SONY 9 pin and Pioneer Laser Disk)
Protocols
When the V1 is set to emulate Sony 9pin mode (BVW-75, DVW-500 or RS232C decks) in
OPTION MENU (1) Transport > Emulate or Pioneer Laser Disk in OPTION MENU (15)
SERIAL PRT the remote control commands will only access the video in the current opened file
6.3.2 Odetics and VDCP (Louth) Protocols
The V1 supports the Odetics and VDCP (Louth) protocol. To select a protocol, go to OPTION
MENU (01) Transport and select the desired protocol in Emulate.
.
6.3.3 Odetics Limited Mode
The V1 has an emulation mode called Limited Mode. When a file is loaded and you are in
Limited Mode operation will be “limited” to the recorded video part of that file. OPTION MENU
(1) Transport > Emulate set to Odetics LMTD.
In this mode, the playback boundaries of the file, will be set by the IN and OUT PRESET values
specified when the file is loaded. Limited Mode can only be accessed when using the V1 in
Odetics mode.
• If the IN PRESET is before the start of recorded video, the start boundary will default to
the start of the recorded video.
• If the OUT PRESET is after the end of recorded video, the end boundary will default to
the end of the recorded video.
6.4 Creating Segments and Play Lists
6.4.1 What is a Segment
A segment is a recording on the active drive defined by a time IN and a time OUT points. Up to
2000 segments can be defined on the V1.
6.4.2 Segments and the V1’s Multi-File System
Segments are created on the loaded file (or the default file if no file has been loaded. When you
recall a segment it will load the file associated with it when it was created. This means that
segments can be used to create play-lists that use multiple files.
V_1.OM.000160.DRM Page 31 Version 5.0
Doremi Labs, Inc.
Page 32
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
an external controller) and enter the in and out points separately.
Press SAVE and enter a number from 0001 to 2000 to identify the segment and then press
ENTER. To recall any defined segment for playback, press RECALL, enter the number of the
segment from 0001 to 2000, and then press ENTER. The segment will play automatically and
the LCD will display the segment information as indicated in the following section.
NOTES
:
The V1 will not save any segment number above 2000 and will not save segment number
0000.
When you enter a segment number, the V1 will locate to the start of the segment after a
certain delay. If you do not want the V1 to locate to those intermediate segment numbers,
you should enter the whole number quickly.
If you want to define the segment that will play directly after the one you have just entered,
before you hit ENTER press the up arrow key and enter the next segment (you can also define
the previous segment) then press ENTER.
6.4.4 Creating a Play List and Loops
Once the segments are fully defined as described above, a play list can be defined to
automatically chain or loop segments during playback. In order to implement this list, each
segment requires the definition of a "next segment" parameter and, optionally, a "previous
segment" parameter.
To define the next segment:
♦ Press RECALL, enter the number of the segment to modify, press ++, the LCD will display
"Next Seg:", enter the segment number of the segment you want to play next and press
ENTER. Note that you are only allowed to enter valid segment numbers.
♦ Do the above for each segment you want to chain.
♦ To create a “play list” that loops simply have the last segment of the chain point to the first
segment of the chain
♦ If you want to create a loop of a single segment, recall a segment and set the “next segment”
to the same number as the segment you just recalled.
Define a previous segment only when you want to insert a segment into an existing play list:
♦ Press RECALL and enter the number of the segment to be inserted, press --, the LCD will
display "Prev Seg:", enter the segment number that will precede it in the play list and press
ENTER.
♦ Press RECALL and enter the number of the segment to be inserted, press ++, the LCD will
display "Next Seg:", enter the segment number that will follow in the play list and press
ENTER.
NOTE: You are only allowed to enter valid segments.
V_1.OM.000160.DRM Page 32 Version 5.0
Doremi Labs, Inc.
Page 33
Examples
:
To play the following list of segments: (4, 3, 8, 1, 4) the 4 at the end will cause the V1 to
loop.
Ensure all these segments have been defined with the IN, OUT and SAVE:
Press RECALL 004 ++
Press RECALL 003 ++
Press RECALL 008 ++
Press RECALL 001 ++
Next Seg = 003 ENTER
Next Seg = 008 ENTER
Next Seg = 001 ENTER
Next Seg = 004 ENTER
To insert segment 5 in the play list: (4, 3, 8, 5, 1, 4)
Press RECALL 005 -- Prev Seg = 008 ENTER
Press RECALL 005 ++
Next Seg = 001 ENTER
The "Previous Segment" is only used to insert a segment in a previously defined play list.
The V1 will automatically display the previous segments for each play list item when you
recall the segment and move to "Prev Seg".
Defining more than one play list
The segment definition and playback feature allows the user to define more than one play list,
as long as the segment numbers do not conflict. i.e. the user can define: Play list A: (5, 4, 3, 2,
1, 5) and Play list B: (10, 9, 8, 7, 10). To play list A, the user can recall any segment from that
list (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) or play list B by recalling any segment from that list (7, 8, 9 or 10).
Modifying a list during playback
A list can be modified during playback. This is useful to allow jumps from one list to the other. If
we use the two play list defined above, if during playback of list one, the user Recalls segment 2
and enter 10 as the next segment (instead of 1), the V1 will jump from list 1 to list 2 as soon as it
finishes playing back segment number 2.
Using a segment as a Marker
A segment can also be used as a marker. Locate to the point you want to put a marker on, hit
the IN key followed by the OUT key and save the segment number as "no." Any time you recall
segment "no." the V1 will locate to that point and stops.
Segments and “A Time”
The Segment definition uses the “A Time” (absolute time) as a reference, this means that even
if you set a Time Code Offset, your segments will not change, they will only display the new time
code when played.
Remaining Time of a Segment During Playback
When you RECALL a segment or a play list, the LCD will display the segment number playing
back along with the remaining time up to the OUT point of that segment in the following format:
Where No. is the segment number played from 0001 to 2000 and MM.SS is the remaining time
up to the OUT point in mn:sec.

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. Select the number of frames in OPTION MENU (01) Transport Chase FWL. If your
LTC is reliable set this to “1”.
6.5.1 The Chase Command
To execute a Chase command press OPTION and press PLAY. Both the source machine and
the V1 should be synchronized
be fed from the source machine into the LTC IN of the V1.
Begin playing the source machine. The V1 will begin playing as soon as it sees a time code that
is within the range defined for the active file and will continue playing in stand alone mode
a stop on the incoming LTC will not stop the V1.
During this chase (OPTION PLAY) the V1 LCD displays “PLAY” with a black dot to indicate that
the play is in sync with the source.

Absolute Time, the time code displayed on the V1 front panel and
present on the TIME CODE OUT connector during playback or
record is generated internally by the V1. A Time represents the
time elapsed since the start of the recording unless a time code
offset has been set.
For NTSC frame-rates the time code out can be outputted as DF
or NDF depending on the selection in OPTION MENU (17).
During record, the V1 will not check for time code input on the
LTC or the ATC and will record at the current location or at the
End of file depending on the selection in OPTION MENU (1).
The time code out is outputted as DF or NDF depending on the
file type creation, if the file is created with DF then the output will
be DF, if the file is created with NDF then the output will be NDF.
In Time Code mode, the DF/NDF selection in OPTION MENU
(17) does not affect the input or the output.
During record the V1 will latch to the time code input on the time
code in connector or to the SDI embedded ATC depending on
the selection in OPTION MENU (17).
The time code input LTC/ATC should match the file’s format

parameter to “0” and save it.
ChaseFWL The number of frames defined in this option will set the free-wheel of the
chase mode between 1 and 10 frames or “0”. If your time code is reliable
set to “0”. When set to a value between 1 and 10, the V1 will play the same
field for the specified amount of frame(s) before it stops and wait for the
new time code to chase.
This function is useful to reduce the audio noise during the chase
command. If you know that your source does not have drop-outs in the time
code, set this value to 1.

LimToSeg Limit to Segment; specifies the operation of “Loop Mode” below. When
“LoopMode” is set to ON, the V1 will record (play) in a loop specified by the
segment number. If the segment selected in this option is 0, the loop will be
the entire length of the file (24 hours).
LoopMode Select OFF or ON. When ON the V1 will loop back to beginning of the file
when it reaches the end of the file or segment as specified in “LimToSeg”
above. When set to OFF the V1 will stop at the end of the file.
Emulate Select V1 (default), BVW-75, DVW-500, Odetics, Odetics LMTD, VDCP
(Louth) or RS-232C.
StepRec This option is for Step Recording. When enabled, every time the V1 goes
into record, it will only record one frame. This option is useful for animation.
When Step Recording is disabled, the V1 is in normal mode of operation.
Select ALL to record the video and audio. If you want to record video only
without altering the previously recorded audio, select Video.
Rec at The function tells the V1 to record at the current position (Cur P.) or at the
end of the last recorded video in the file (End F.). If you are working in any
of the A-Time modes and want to avoid recording over existing material, set
this option to End F.
Note : Rec at: End F. is not valid if the Time Mode is set to Time Code. In
those this mode, the unit will synchronize to the incoming time code to
determine the recording position.
10.2 Auto Play
The Auto Play settings allow the V1 to automatically start playing a segment when the V1 is
powered on and the drive is mounted.
Auto Play Enter a predefined segment number. The V1 will now play that segment
every time it mounts that drive. This function can also be used to
automatically locate to a start point every time the disk is mounted. All you
need to do is set the IN and OUT time at the same location for the autoplay segment.
NoVidDly 000s V1 Screen Saver. This parameter sets the delay until the video output goes
black (screen saver) in 10 seconds increments. "000" will disable this
feature. Example: "010" will cause the unit to output black video when the
unit is idle for 10 seconds.
10.3 New Rec Set
The New Record Settings contain all the main options used to define a V1 File.
If you are using multiple files on the V1 you must create a new file after changing a setting in
this section. For instructions on how to create a file, see paragraph 6.1.2.
If you are using a single file (the default file created by the V1) you will need to reinitialize after
changing a setting in this section - See section 10.7.

12 Video and Key
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 Video & Key:
• 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 Video & Key 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).
Analog and AES audio are at 16-bit depth; The SDI embedded audio is at 16-bit or 32-bit depth;
The V1-HD also records LTC and ATC time-code.
The V1-HD records in different ways depending on the Time Code Mode selected in MENU (2).
The V1-HD does not allow for repeating or non-continuous time-code.
The file time-line starts at 0 and ends at 24hrs.
• When Time Mode is set to Time Code, the V1 will read the incoming time code LTC or
ATC depending on the time-code selection in
itself to record on the time-line and at the proper position.
• When Time Mode is set to A-Time, the V1 will record on the time-line at the current
position or at the end of file depending on the “Rec at:” setting in OPTION MENU (01)
“Transport”.

generated Video & Key file (Ex: if your Video and Key parts recordings are 1 hour long you will
need to have a free space on the drive sufficient for 30 minutes of recording at 220Mb/s.
After the merged Video & Key file is verified and plays properly in sync; you can delete the
Single-video recording file.
To delete the single-video recording file:
• Hold the OPTION Key and press CLEAR.
• Use the JOG wheel to browse the file list.
• 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.
• The Key-part from 01:02:02:03 to 01:11:02:03

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).
Analog and AES audio are at 16-bit depth; the SDI embedded audio is at 16-bit or 32-bit depth;
the V1-HD also records LTC and ATC time-code.
The V1-HD records in different ways depending on the Time Code Mode selected in MENU (2).
The V1-HD does not allow for repeating or non-continuous time-code.
The file time-line starts at 0 and ends at 24hrs.
• When Time Mode is set to Time Code, the V1 will read the incoming time code LTC or
ATC depending on the time-code selection in OPTION MENU (17) and synchronizes
itself to record on the time-line and at the proper position.
• When Time Mode is set to A-Time, the V1 will record on the time-line at the current
position or at the end of file depending on the “Rec at:” setting in OPTION MENU (01)
“Transport”.

14 Troubleshooting
14.1 Unable to Control V1 Remotely
If you have a normal RS422 9 pin control connection and you cannot control the V1, check
MENU (4) Chase Mode. It should be set to OFF. In addition, ensure that the controller protocol
and the emulation mode match (OPTION MENU (1) Transport Emulate and OPTION MENU
(15) Serial Port).
14.2 V1 Identification for Editors and DAW on the RS422 Port
The V1 can reply with two different Machine Ids when connected to a controlling device like a
Sony 9-Pin editor.
If OPTION MENU (1) Transport is set to BVW75, it will reply with a "BVW75" identification.
If OPTION MENU (1) Transport is set to V1 (default), the V1 will reply with a "V1" identification.
If OPTION MENU (1) Transport is set to DVW-500, the V1 will reply with a "DVW500"
identification.
Caution note
: Some DAWs or Editors will not initialize the RS422 port correctly if the Id
returned on the RS422 port is unknown by them. In this case, set the
EMULATION to BVW75.
14.3 The Video has no Colors
If the video is not stable and is not displaying colors properly, you have set the MENU (3) Sync
Source to Auto or Sync In but you do not have a black burst signal fed to the SYNC IN
connector. If the video stabilizes when you switch to Internal, the problem is definitely your
Sync Source setting.
14.4 No Audio from Input Monitor
If you cannot hear the audio when you go in input monitor, check the OPTION MENU (11 & 12)
for your Audio Levels and check the audio input source menu.
14.5 Unable to Write to Active Drive
If you are not able to write to your active drive, i.e. cannot record, initialize or format, check
OPTION MENU (6) SCSI Setup and set V1 to Rec/Play. It can also be due to the selection of
Disk Acc in OPTION MENU (1).
14.6 Forcing Power ON in any Condition
The V1 can be set to remain on even if AC power is cycled OFF then ON again. To force a
“always ON” operation please consult our technical support department.
14.7 No MD Found
This message is valid for new drives that have not been used on a V1. You will need to initialize
the drive(s).
