Alphanumeric Display; Display Fields - GRASS VALLEY NV9640 User Manual

Scrolling is necessary when a list of items — for instance, source devices — exceeds the number
of buttons available for the items. The panel adds 'Forward' and 'Back' buttons as necessary.
Panels that use multi-destination mode will probably require 'Page Up' and 'Page Down'
buttons.

Alphanumeric Display

The 8×42 alphanumeric display provides real-time feedback for the operators as they press
buttons to execute takes and other operations. The panel functions in two modes: X-Y or multi-
destination. The display changes according to the mode:

X-Y mode
In either case, the display has 8 lines. Operators might need to scroll the display to see additional
information. ('Page Up' and 'Page Down' buttons can be used to scroll the display.)

Display Fields

The display has 4 columns:
•
Level/Dest.
In X-Y mode, this column identifies the levels of the currently selected destination. That des-
tination is identified in the information column. In the illustration above, 'VTR 1' was
selected. Operators might need to scroll to see or select a level.
In MD mode, the 'Level/Dest' column presents all the MD destinations defined in the
NV9640 configuration. (Actual destinations are defined in the configuration of the system
controller.) Operators might need to scroll to see or select a destination.
• Status.
The status column indicates what source was routed to the destination.
In X-Y mode, the status column represents the levels of a source or the levels of multiple
sources under breakaway. These are called the current source(s). The presence of '--------' in
the status or preset columns means that that particular level is not defined for the destina-
tion. Therefore, no source selection for that level is possible. The illustration above shows
that levels HD and 'TimeCode' are not defined for VTR 1.
In MD mode, the status column represents the sources routed to each of the destinations in
the 'Level/Dest' column. Again, these are the current sources.
•
Preset.
The preset column indicates what source will be routed to a destination when the operator
presses the 'Take' button.
