PROTECTING YOURSELF AND THE V1
Never touch the AC plug with wet hands
Always disconnect the V1 from the power supply by pulling on the plug, not the cord.
Allow only a Doremi Labs, Inc. dealer or qualified professional engineer to repair or reassemble
the V1. Apart from voiding the warranty, unqualified engineers might touch live internal parts
and receive a serious electric shock
Do not put, or allow anyone to put any object, especially metal objects into the V1
Use only an AC power supply. Never use a DC power supply.
If water or any other liquid is spilled into or onto the V1, disconnect the power, and call your
dealer.
Make sure the unit is well ventilated, and away from direct sunlight.
To avoid damage to internal circuitry, as well as the external finish, keep the V1 away from
sources of direct heat (stoves, radiators, etc.).
Avoid using aerosol insecticides, etc. near the V1. They may damage the surface, and may
ignite.
Do not use denatured alcohol, thinner or similar chemicals to clean the V1. They will damage
the finish.
Modification of this equipment is dangerous, and can result in the functions of the V1 being
impaired. Never attempt to modify the equipment in any way.
In order to ensure optimum performance of your V1, select the setup location carefully, and
make sure the equipment is used properly. Avoid setting up the V1 in the following locations:
1. In a humid or dusty environment
2. In a room with poor ventilation
3. On a surface that is not horizontal
4. Inside a vehicle such as a car, where it will be subject to vibration
5. In an extremely hot or cold environment

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.

2 Design of Manual
2.1 Product Series
This user manual covers the V1 JPEG2000 and Uncompressed HD series. Although the basic
operation of all V1 products is the same, there are minor differences. When a feature refers to
only one product series, that function will be highlighted in bold with the name of the product as
seen in the examples below:
>>V1-UHD Only – for the HDTV Uncompressed product series only. If features are
supported on the V1-UHD and not on the V1-UHD/LE that will be
highlighted in the text.
>>V1-HD Only – for the JPEG2000 compression product series only (V1-HD)
2.2 Firmware Versions
This manual was written with the product firmware numbers below:
• HDTV Uncompressed (V1-UHD): 4.62e
• JPEG2000 (V1-HD): 4.62e
• Front Panel (RCV2) firmware 1.20
The V1 firmware can be checked by going to the OPTION MENU (hold the OPTION button then
press the MENU button). Press the up or down Menu buttons till you reach menu number
00. Press ++ until you see the version number V1 (no.).
Check the front panel firmware in the CONTROLLER MENU. Hold the ESCAPE button and
press MENU. And then scroll to Firmware.
If you have a newer firmware than shown above, check the addendum pages on the back of this
manual for a list of changes and additions. If you have recently upgraded your firmware please
print out the README document included in the zip file with the new firmware. You can also
download the latest V1 manual from our tech support page “manual” section on the Doremi
website www.doremilabs.com.
If you will not be upgrading, you can download older manuals from the Doremi FTP page.
2.3 Menu Customs
CAPITAL & BOLD text is used when referring to buttons on the front panel.
Menu (no.) text provides the MENU, OPTION MENU, or CONTROLLER MENU name and the
menu function #.
