Type Description
Free Source Defines a phantom device that can be used to release or "free" devices on the
data (control) level. A free source is also used with tielines to free the tieline for
others to use. The free source is configured in the Level Set Details page of
NV9000-SE Utilities.
[Forward] The panel software can introduce a "forward" button if an automatically gener-
ated list has more entries than can fit on a page.
A 'Forward' displays and activates the next button page in an automatically
generated sequence.
There is no explicit 'Forward' button type; configurers cannot create forward
buttons explicitly.
Global A global navigation button is very much like a navigation button to the operator.
Navigate However, during configuration, it selects a previously defined "global naviga-
tion" template. The template itself may have structure that ordinary button
pages have. It can include any button type except additional global navigate
buttons. See
Hold Toggles the panel in and out of "hold" mode. In multi-destination mode, hold
mode retains destination selections after a take. In X-Y mode, hold mode retains
breakaway levels after a take. (There are other effects. See
page 35.)
Information The information button displays auxiliary information about level mapping and
perhaps other matters. The operator presses the information button once to see
the information and again to hide the information.
Level Map Cross-connects levels (in the same physical router). The function is typically used
to shuffle audio channels, for example, to connect AES1/2 to AES3/4.
The Level Map mode is cancelled when the next normal take is performed
involving the selected destinations.
Menu This button puts the NV9640 panel in menu mode and displays a menu on the
LCD buttons that provides access to a variety of panel options. The button is
required if you want the user to have access to the menu.
By pressing certain LCD buttons, the user makes menu selections and may enter
data (such as panel ID) or change LCD brightness values. The LCD button text
varies greatly with context in menu mode. See
Name Set The button toggles the panel between its default name set and the "system
Toggle name" set. One or the other becomes the active name set.
The button definition has no fields to configure.
If the default name set is the system name set, the button would be a no-op.
Therefore configurers should not create a 'Name Set Toggle' button if the default
name set is 'System Names' .
The status, preset, or destination displays use the active name set — either the
default name set (aliases) or the system name set. However, that when the panel
is displaying aliases, and a device does not have an alias, the panel displays the
system name.
