NOTES (continued)
-When outputting from the storyboard via firewire for an HDV project, be aware of your Project
Settings format. If you are using a "Progressive" format project, some cameras are not capable of
capturing this type of signal on an HDV input. (i.e. a model like the Sony HVR Z1 is not able to
record a progressive input.)

-It is important to match the "Format" button in the "Project Settings" menu with the format you
are using on the camera. This is especially important with the various types of HD formats that
could be in interlace/progressive. If you use a different format setting, then there is additional
scaling for your video data that will be needed and this will slow down your import process.

-When using long AVCHD import material, it could auto split incorrectly and have a starting
frame of the last frame of the prior split scene. If this occurs, use the option in the "Settings"
menu called "Record, Playback". There will be sliders to adjust the AVCHD In and Out. You can
adjust the In or Out by different frame lengths. You may try just a couple of frames. In some
cases adjusting up to 20 frames might be needed. Then re-import the clip and auto split it
again.

-After a new installation, the Media Manager side will display a list of some new products in the
Install Product menu. The Premium Package would be the only add on program you need to
activate. Many of the other programs in Media Manager are simply not available yet or for only
the European "Enterprise" DVR systems.


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. When the system is booted on, simply eject the DVD tray and put in the Bogart Operating System
CD.

2. Shut the machine down normally with the Off button or a Force Shut Down (if needed).

3. Wait a few seconds, and then reboot the machine. The system will start up and after a minute or so

start accessing the burner and reading the disc. A prompt will then come on the screen to indicate the
system is being analyzed. Wait until the next install screen comes up.

4. The next screen will give you the options to do what is called the update or the installation. The
update is just going to reset or add corrections to the software section and leaves the video and audio
elements current. The update process will be fairly short maybe around a couple of minutes or so. If
you choose the Installation button, a second message will appear to warn you that all files will be
cleared. (If you plan to do a new full installation, be sure you have backed your projects up to tape or to
an external drive. This will clear off all data on the drive. We recommend doing a full install of software
from time to time if you are able.) Go ahead and accept this choice and the system will re-install. An
install process will take about 10 minutes.

5. When process is done, the tray will pop out and you can remove the CD. Click on the return key on
the keyboard to close the tray door. The system will shut down.

6. Now you can reboot and get to the main menu. If you did the full install, then you will need to enter
the code for Bogart SE in the Install Product menu before you can continue on and re-activate other
codes or start reloading footage.

If you choose do an update, be aware that the main Settings menu will not immediately
reflect this change after the update process. It will still list the prior Bogart 3 version.
To complete the Bogart 4 update process, go to the main Settings menu and select
"Install Product". Then simply "Activate" the Bogart 4.1 version that is in the list with
your Bogart 4 license code. The system will reboot and you now have Bogart 4.1c listed
in the main Settings menu.
