Panel Organization; Lcd Button Array - GRASS VALLEY NV9000 User Manual

Introduction

Panel Organization

The panels can operate in one of 2 modes:
• X-Y mode.
• Multi-destination mode.
The panels can be configured so that either mode is selectable by the operator. The panels
can also operate in several secondary modes, including salvo mode and menu mode.
At the rear are power, serial, and network connectors:

LCD Button Array

The NV9616 has 16 LCD button units. The NV9608 has 8. Each unit comprises a large LCD
button and a small 'Take' button below the LCD button. The LCD buttons each have 3 lines
of text (up to 8 characters per line). The lines of the button are labeled "S, " "P, " and "D" on the
panel:

In multi-destination mode, the 3 lines of text display status (S), preset (P), and destination
(D), respectively. If breakaway applies to that destination, the status appears in reverse text.
A button can display other messages in other contexts.
Under each LCD button is a smaller white 'Take' button. Pressing the take button executes a
take for the selected destination. The methods for selecting destinations and sources for
the take are different in X-Y mode and multi-destination (MD) mode.
The LCD button array represents:
• Destinations (in multi-destination mode). The panels provide support for up to 512 MD
destinations. You can select different "pages" of destinations using the scroll buttons.
