Lists; Operating Concepts; Levels - GRASS VALLEY NV9640 User Manual

The recommended configuration has 8 selection buttons — each button matches a line in the
display. In MD mode, the selection buttons represent destinations in the MD destination set. It is
possible for your panel to have more or fewer than 8 selection buttons on any particular button
page.
Each button displays 3 lines of text:
CAM--1 CAM--1
VTR--1 VTR--1
The top line of text shows the current sources. The middle line of text shows the preset sources.
The bottom line shows the destinations. If you scroll the display, the legends on the selection
buttons change to match the 8 destinations shown in the display.
If an MD destination is undefined, it has no name on the display, and the matching button has is
not illuminated and has no text.
After a take, the preset source becomes the current source. The preset column of the display
becomes blank and the middle text rows of the selection buttons become blank.

Lists

The NV9640 can produce lists of devices, categories, and salvos automatically — on the buttons.
Lists of categories and salvos are generated statically — during configuration. Lists of sources
and destinations can be generated dynamically — on-the-fly during operation — and might vary
from day to day. Long lists (more than 28 items) are characterized by the presence of "Back" and
"Forward" buttons in the list. You can move to the next set of entries in the list by pressing the
forward button. Press the back button to go to the previous set. A final "back" returns to the
page containing the button that displayed the list.
Levels or MD devices presented on the display are also list entries. To scroll through lists of levels
or MD destinations, use the 'Page Up' and 'Page Down' buttons.

Operating Concepts

Status for most or all operations is presented on the alphanumeric display (and occasionally on
certain buttons).

Levels

In the NV9000-SE Utilities and in the NV9000 router control system, routes occur on levels. A
level is typically SD, HD, analog video, AES, analog audio, or machine control. Various devices are
defined as sending and receiving signals on certain levels. The set of levels handled by a device
belong to what is called a level set.
A source can be routed to a destination if it has the same set of levels, i.e., it belongs to the same
named level set. A source can be routed to a destination in a different level set if the NV9000
configuration has the appropriate level mapping.
The effect of this is that when you, the operator, choose a destination, the NV9000 recognizes its
levels and which source devices are allowed to be routed to the destination and limits your
selection to those sources.
