INTRODUCTION If you are a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) user and are tired of waiting for your analog tape VTR to locate and follow up with your DAW, you would need to replace your video tape machine with a random access digital video recorder/player that would respond instantly to your locate commands and communicate efficiently with your DAW to allow you to finish your work faster.
1 Quick Startup Guide This chapter assumes the most common hardware setup: V1 equipped with a removable hard drive using the Kingston Data Express system. 1. Plug the hard drive carrier in the Data Express receiver and turn the key counter clockwise until it locks 2. Power the unit ON by flipping the switch to the ON position a.
2 MENU SELECTIONS If your front panel EPROM on the V1 has version V1.20 or higher, you have access to two different sets of menus. Pressing the MENU key will allow access to the Standard menu and pressing OPTION MENU (hold the OPTION key while pressing MENU) will allow access to the Optional menu. If your front panel EPROM only shows the standard menu, and you need to use the optional menu, you can either use the VToolsPro utility or request a front panel EPROM programmed with version V1.20 or higher.
(02) (03) Sync from Chase A Time as LTC If you are using A Time (with or without an offset) as your time code and if your controller requires time code, you should choose this option which will make the A Time look like Time Code on the RS422 connection. VITC Time During record, the time code embedded in the video input signal (VITC) will be recorded on the VITC track of the V1 active drive.
(04) Mount (STRIPE) Mounts all drives that are not mounted. To mount a disk, press the Toggle/Select key ( ). A message will appear on the LCD screen: “Are you sure?” : ♦ If you want to mount, hold the OPTION (.) key and press the Toggle/Select key ( ) again, all drives will be mounted. ♦ If you change your mind and don't want to mount, press ESC. Note: If you have not changed your front panel EPROM to version V1.
The format operation is a long procedure that takes approximately around 20 mn for a JAZ-1GB, 1 h 20 for a 4 GB drive and around 2 h 30 for a 9 GB drive. ♦ If you change your mind and don't want to format, press ESC. NOTE: THE FORMAT COMMAND ONLY WORKS ON V1 DRIVES, IF THE LCD DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE: "NO V1 DISK", THE DISK NEEDS TO BE INITIALIZED BEFORE IT CAN BE FORMATTED. Once Format and Initialize have been executed on a drive, it is not necessary to Format again.
Toggle/Select key ( menus: ) will switch between each of the following sub- 1. Source is : type the SCSI ID number of the source drive (Valid range from 0 to 7), then use "++" to go to the next submenu... 2. # Targets: type the number of drives that will act as your destination drives (Valid range from 1 to 6), if you enter a value higher than the maximum allowed, the V1 will default to its maximum, then use "++" to go to the next sub-menu... 3.
1. A1: 2. 3. 4. 5. To insert/overdub on audio track 1, select On by pushing the "++" key. To select Off, press the "--" key. A2: To insert/overdub on audio track 2, select On by pushing the "++" key. To select Off, press the "--" key. TC: To insert/overdub time code on the guide track, select On by pushing the "++" key. To select Off, press the "-" key. Note that you can use the "Time Code Offset" function and keep this option Off. Video: To insert/overdub video, select On by pushing the "++" key.
Hue: Use the "++" or "--" to set the Chroma Hue. 00 is the default value. This option is not saved on the drive, it is saved on the V1 flash EPROM only if you execute a Save from optional menu (04). (04) Save This menu option will save all the Flash EPROM settings of the V1. To write the changes on the Flash EPROM (see Note below), press the Toggle/Select key ( ). A message will appear on the LCD screen: “Are you sure?” : ♦ If you want to save, hold the OPTION (.
Position: Color: The "++" or "--" will allow the user to choose one of 6 different positions: Top-Left, Top-Center, Top-Right, Bottom-Left, Bottom-Center & Bottom-Right. The "++" or "--" will allow the user to choose one of 5 different selections: Off, White on Black, White on Background, Black on White & Black on Background. This selection is saved on the machine after executing (04) Save.
new setting to be the default startup setting, a Save command should be executed after changing this parameter. (17) SCSI ID The "++" or "--" will toggle between 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. The selection represents the SCSI ID number of the V1 after restart. Do not use a SCSI ID number for the V1 that conflicts with any installed drive. A Save command should be executed after changing this parameter. (18) Clks/Frame The "++" or "--" will toggle between 01, 02, 04, 10.
(27) Fast Mode (28) (29) Jog Speed Still Mode 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. The settings allowed are Normal or Enhanced. All speed faster than normal would look much better in enhanced mode but to be able to use this mode you need to have a fast hard drive (7200 RPM or higher).
3 FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION The V1 front panel contains a space for two (3 1/2" or 5 1/4") half-height SCSI drives or one full-height (5 1/4") SCSI drive, volume potentiometers for setting the audio input record level, transport control keys, function keys, a jog/shuttle wheel, a numeric keypad, and the main power switch. 3.
♦ During transport controls, the current operation is shown on the right side of the display: PLAY, STOP, REWIND, FORWARD, RECORD, JOG, SHUTTLE, VAR..
TOGGLE/SELECT Use this key (Double arrow, menus. ) to change selections within most WHEEL This key activates the Jog/Shuttle wheel. When active, the amber LED above the button will go ON. Pressing the key while active will toggle between jog and shuttle : ♦ In Jog mode, the rotation of the wheel will generate "Jog" steps in forward or reverse.
4 RECORDING & PLAYBACK 4.1 Recording 4.1.1 STANDARD RECORDING PROCEDURE Pressing the REC button on the front panel will automatically put the V1 into "RECORD READY" mode or "INPUT MONITOR" mode, the red LED will go ON. This is useful for monitoring the input audio and video before you record. To turn "INPUT MONITOR" OFF press STOP. A drive must be formatted then initialized before it is ready for recording (See Section 2.1, Menu (08), "FORMAT " ).
4.1.4 TIME CODE OFFSET This function will allow you to offset your time code track starting at any location (frame) on the disk. NTSC users should first select their time code frame rate from the Drop Frame menu option (Drop or Non Drop). 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 the OPTION key while hitting the IN key. The Time Code offset will be permanently saved on the drive.

By installing the Ethernet board both MIDI and Biphase will be disabled. Note: On you computer you need to enable TCP/IP via Ethernet and configure your server with an IP address and a Subnet Mask (consult your network administrator to get a unique IP address for your computer).
7 The Vupdater Utility Vupdater is a new utility that should be used to update the internal software of the V1 line of products. YOU SHOULD NOT USE ANY PREVIOUS VERSION OF V-TOOLS OR V-TOOLS PRO TO UPDATE YOUR V1 SOFTWARE. BY USING ANY OTHER UTILITY YOU ARE RISKING AN UNSUCCESSFULL UPDATE THAT MIGHT RESULT IN PHYSICALLY CHANGING THE FLASH EPROM ON YOUR UNIT. WINDOWS 95/98 USERS, SEE THE NOTE AT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER.
8. Once "Success..." is displayed, you can quit Vupdater and turn off the V1. 9. Restart the V1, and check the version number, which, in this case, should be "Vx.xx". This will confirm that the upgrade was successful. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR WINDOWS 95/98 USERS WITH V1 VERSION < 2.xx : WINDOWS 95/98 USERS MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM UPDATING THEIR UNITS FROM 1.99Z OR ANY LOWER UP TO 2.XX. THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS BY USING AN OLDER VERSION OF V-TOOLS CALLED V1TOOLS (DO NOT USE ANY VTOOLSPRO).

The communication problem will only happen if you use 2 V1 (recorder and player) connected from the back. If the player is connected to a BVW75 (or any device supported by the editor) or to the front connector of a V1m(x2), you will not have any communication problems Our Recommendations: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
12 CHANGES AND ADDITIONS / VToolsPro Version 2.0 adds some menu items and functionality to the V1. To use version 2.0 efficiently, you need to replace the front panel EPROM on your V1 or use the VToolsPro software. 12.1 Upgrading to version 2.0 To upgrade your V1 to version 2.0 you need to get the Vupdater software and a 1.2 EPROM chip for the front panel controller; See section 7, "The Vupdater Utility".
13 INSTRUCTIONS FOR INITIAL SETUP & TRANSPORT IMPORTANT !! ♦ Before powering-up the V1 unit, please connect the SCSI termination supplied on the rear external SCSI connector (If not there, the V1 will not operate properly). ♦ After powering-up, if your V1 has been ordered with a drive from Doremi Labs, you will be able to play the initial "video test" recording (In NTSC for USA, PAL for Europe) without the need of an external sync reference (Internal Sync. selected).
14 MOUNTING SCSI DRIVES The V1 is factory set to SCSI ID6 by setting DIP switches 1, 2 & 3 on the back of the V1 to high, low & low. To avoid conflicts, Don't use this ID 6 for any drive to be installed. CAUTION NOTE: FOR VENTILATION PURPOSES, THE OPENEING OF THE TOP COVER SHOULD ALWAYS BE TOWARDS THE HARD DISK TRAYS AND NOT TOWARDS THE POWER SUPPLY. ALL INTERNAL CABLES SHOULD BE PLACED AT LEAST ONE INCH ABOVE THE CIRCUIT BOARD, USE CABLE TIES IF NECESSARY. 14.
♦ Connect the termination supplied with the V1 on the rear external SCSI port, switch ON the V1 and execute a Format command followed by an Initialize command. 14.3 Mounting two Jaz drives ♦ Disconnect all cables including power from the back of the V1. ♦ Repeat the procedure A. for each of the drives separately, and use SCSI ID4 for one and SCSI ID3 for the other. ♦ Mount Jaz ID3 on the bottom V1 tray. ♦ Mount Jaz ID4 on the top V1 tray. ♦ Connect SCSI and power to both drives.
14.
♦ Install the hard drive in the carrier (See Sections 14.7, 14.8, 14.9 for setup), connect the SCSI Id cable supplied (black/brown/red) to the correct jumpers on the hard drive (Check also the direction). ♦ Install the receiver on the bottom V1 tray. ♦ Connect SCSI and power to the Data-Express. ♦ Power ON the V1 and set the SCSI ID of the Data-Express to ID3 (screw on the right hand side of the receiver) using the screwdriver provided with the Data-Express.
14.5 Mounting two Kingston Data-Express removable drive systems ♦ Repeat the procedure C. for both frames. Set the bottom tray to ID3 and the top one to ID 4. 14.6 Mounting one Jaz and one Kingston Data-Express removable system ♦ Repeat procedure A. for the Jaz, set it to ID4 and install it on the top V1 tray. ♦ Repeat procedure C. for the Data-Express, set it to ID3 and install it on the bottom V1 tray. 14.
14.8 Setup of the Micropolis 3243av 4 GB hard drive. These are the two connectors that should be configured on the 3243av: POWER and SCSI CONNECTORS To Data-Express B L K B R N R E D Red, Brown & Black wires on the bottom Rear View of the drive in the mounting position W2 TP FROM BUS This is the only jumper that should be installed on W2 Bottom View of the drive W2 should only have one jumper to set the termination power from SCSI bus. That position is marked in the drawing above.
14.9 Setup of the Seagate Ultra SCSI hard drives 4 GB, 9 GB & 18 GB Seagate has 2 series of Ultra SCSI drives: Barracuda and Cheetah.
only one side of the 2 pin connector. That side with the wire should be connected to the top row of J6 (J5 for wide) if you are looking straight at the front of the drive (back of the drive for wide). Extra care should be given as to not have cable number 3 described above be caught between the drive and the Data-Express carrier chassis. 14.
14.
15 Notes for the V1m The V1m is the same as the V1 with the exception of the following differences: 1. Older V1m units have only ½ MB of SRAM, therefore, they are only capable of 12:1 compressions or higher. 2. The V1m does not have a front panel controller, instead, it has a front panel connector for an external RS422 remote control. You should not use a cable longer than 6 feet on this front panel connector. 3. Older V1m units do not have SVHS IN/OUT 4. The V1m does not have MIDI IN/OUT 5.
16 The V1-2000 series All V1 units with a serial number over 2000 will be referred to as the V1-2000 series. Notes: • • • • V1-2000<2100 means V1 with serial number lower than 2100 V1-2000>2100 means V1 with serial number greater than 2100 The V1mx2-2000 has the same features of 2 V1m-2000 with the Server Ready option. The Server Ready option adds more memory to the unit and it includes the 10BT option. You need this option for with all units connected to a V1XServer.
