Install Instructions - OS X

Download and move all the installers to your Desktop

Unzip the Adobe ExManCmd file, this will leave a folder called "Contents" on your desktop.

Open up a terminal window and ensure that you cd (i.e. your directory path) to your desktop, as this is critical for the next part to work.

Run this command to to this (you may cut and paste these commands):

cd ~/Desktop/Contents/MacOS/

Then run the following command in the terminal session to change the file permissions for ExManCmd:

chmod +x ./ExManCmd

Finally, run the following command in the terminal session to install the Plug-in:

./ExManCmd --install ~/Desktop/CatDVCCPanel2.1.1.zxp

Note: If you downloaded a version other than "CatDVCC2.1.0.zxp" simply insert the correct name of the file on your desktop into the command. i.e.

"./Contents/MacOS/ExManCmd --install CatDVCCPanel2.0.0.zxp" if the file was called "CatDVCCPanel2.0.0.zxp"

Note: The dash before "install" is actually 2 dashes or minuses. This is called a minus minus install  eg – -install ( space added for emphasis.)

Exit the terminal session. (Quit Terminal.)

Start Adobe Premiere and check that the Panel opens.

Testing Panel

If you don't see the CatDV panel in Premiere, select the "Extensions > CatDV" option from the "Window" menu

Enter your CatDVServer IP or hostname, CatDV username and password in the supplied boxes.

NOTE: Depending on your server setup and network if the CatDV Panel is failing to log in, use the CatDV Web Server port number (default port: 8080) at the end of the CatDV Server address. Verify the running port number by checking the CatDV Server Control Panel on the CatDV Server or with your CatDV administrator
