    • Press the SRC 12 button ... The following terms and abbreviations are used throughout this guide: • The term “control panel” refers to the NV9602 control panel and to NV96xx control panels, in general. • “High tally” means that a button is brightly illuminated. High-tally usually means that the but- ton function is selected or active.

    The AC connector has a compartment in which you can find a spare fuse. (The Ethernet port is 10baseT. The NV9000 supports 10baseT as well as 100baseT.) 1 An equivalent NV9602V — a GUI that is called a “virtual panel”— is available. It emulates the NV9602. NV9602 Control Panel • User’s Guide...
  • Page 14: Panel Organization

    Panel Organization Panel Organization Function Buttons The NV9602 has an array of 32 function buttons on the left and 6 function buttons on the right. The buttons’ functions are slightly different in each of the 4 operating modes. (See Modes of Operation, next.) The 10 buttons at the top left are labeled with numerals (0–9).
  • Page 15: Flags

    The panel’s set of button functions varies with the mode. The modes (or behavioral models) are determined at configuration. The operator cannot switch between different modes. The NV9604 control panel can operate as an extension of the NV9602. See the NV9604 User’s Guide for details. Single-Destination Mode In single destination mode, the panel’s destination is configured as the default destination and there...

    NV9000 configuration software. You may use the Panel IP Configuration Utility if you want to your NV9602 to have a static IP address (with respect to the NV9000) or to use DHCP. The panel, as it comes from the factory, defaults to DHCP.
  • Page 19: Testing

    You can now prepare an NV9602 configuration in NV9000-SE Utilities and upload the configura- tion to the NV9602. You need the panel ID to create a NV9602 configuration. When you upload the configuration, the panel ID you entered in NV9000-SE Utilities designates the actual panel to which the upload will occur.

    This chapter addresses configurers. Operators and other persons not interested in NV9602 configu- ration need not read this chapter. Summary The NV9602 is a relatively simple panel. It has 38 function buttons and a small display. Although it has relatively few button functions, there are 4 operating modes. •...
  • Page 22 Click ‘Add Control Panel’ at the bottom of the configuration page. The ‘Add Control Panel’ page appears: Choose “NV9602” from the ‘Type’ field. In the ID field, enter the panel ID you assigned to the panel while it was in setup mode. (You can change the panel ID in NV9000-SE Utilities.) Give a name to the panel in the name field and select a user.
  • Page 23 There are 2 other buttons, ‘Suffix’ and ‘Navigate’, both dim (disabled). These do not apply to the NV9602. Return to the ‘Control Panels’ page to view your new entry.

    The lock can be removed only by the user that originally set the lock, or by a panel that has “Force Release” enabled. The button definition has no fields to configure.

The NV9602 provides no explicit indication, during operation, whether a destination is locked or unlocked. Destination The button toggles between the first and second destination sets.
  • Page 31 Menu This button puts the NV9602 panel in menu mode and displays a menu on the buttons that provides access to a variety of panel functions. With- out the button, the operator has no access to the menu functions.

    — to the destination assigned to the source button. (A source shift button switches between the two sources of the source buttons.) Potentially, all 38 buttons of a NV9602 could be source buttons, each having a unique destination. Thus, at that extreme, a panel in multi-destination mode could represent 38 destinations and give operators the choice of two sources for each destination.
  • Page 35: Operation

    This chapter is intended specifically for the NV9602 panel operator. Summary As an NV9602 operator, you will be confronted initially with a relatively small and simple panel — 38 buttons with two 8-character displays. The panel’s buttons can have arbitrary legends (using plastic inserts under the button caps). A but- ton’s legend should indicate its function.
  • Page 36: Single-Destination Mode

    5. Operation Summary Generally, to operate the panel, you choose a destination, (possibly) choose desired breakaway lev- els, and choose a source. Choosing a source for a destination completes the take. This paradigm has slight variations in the different modes. There is no ‘Take’...

  • Page 38: Destination Shift

    5. Operation Operating Concepts A source shift button toggles all source buttons. Destination Shift Destination shift applies only in ‘Limited X-Y’ mode. Each destination button can represent two destinations. A ‘Destination Shift’ button selects which of the two destinations the destination button will select. (The concept is similar to the shift key or the ‘caps lock’...

    1 Press the hold button. If it does not go low-tally, press it again. 2 Select any destination. Buttons The NV9602 has 3 classes of button functions: • Dedicated functions, such as ‘Default State’ and ‘Chop’. • Variable functions, such as ‘Salvo’, ‘Source’, or ‘Destination’. A salvo button executes a spe- cific system salvo.

  • Page 42: Level

    5. Operation Operating Concepts Level The button selects a level. The button exists only when your panel is configured for single-destination mode with breakaway. Presumably, it will have several level buttons, one for each level you need to control. You will select one or more levels for a breakaway and then press a source button to complete the take.
  • Page 43: Source

    It is the ‘Source/Dest Toggle’ button (listed next) that places the panel in source mode or destina- tion mode. Source/Dest Toggle The ‘Source/Dest Toggle’ button toggles between source and destination modes. NV9602 Control Panel • User’s Guide...

    Release To remove a lock or protect. Some control panels can lock or protect both sources and destinations. However, The NV9602 pro- vides locks and protects for destinations only. A forced release is when the lock or protect is removed by someone other than the owner. A forced release can be performed: •...
  • Page 45: Takes

    If your panel has a ‘Hold’ button, you can use it to preserve the chosen breakaway levels after the take. Hold “mode” is active when the hold button is high-tally. When hold mode is inactive, the destination reverts to all levels after the take. NV9602 Control Panel • User’s Guide...
  • Page 46: Case 3 - Limited X-Y Mode

    There are no destination buttons. Potentially, all 38 buttons of a NV9602 could be source buttons, each having a unique destination. Thus, at that extreme, a panel in multi-destination mode could represent 38 destinations and give operators the choice of two sources for each destination.

    3 Ensure that your data router has been configured as “data forward.” In this mode, the router expects the source (e.g., playback device) to control the destination (e.g., recording device). 4 Cue your playback device. (After the take, you must manually start the playback.) NV9602 Control Panel • User’s Guide...
  • Page 48: Performing A Broadcast Take - Limited X-Y Mode

    5. Operation Operating Concepts Performing a Broadcast Take — Limited X-Y Mode Follow these steps: 1 Select a destination and route a source to it. The source becomes the master because the router is in data forward mode. This destination is the slave and communicates bidirectionally with the master on the machine control level.

    5. Operation Operating Concepts Chop The chop function is a diagnostic function for routers that support chop. It allows you to switch rap- idly between two sources at a particular destination. The chop interval is defined in the NV9000 configuration. The default chop interval is 6 fields. Case 1 —...

    At this last step, the panel leaves menu mode and returns to normal mode. Setup Mode Setup mode occurs when the NV9602 is disconnected from its network and is freshly powered up. In setup mode, you can set or change the panel ID, identify the software version, and perform a test of the panel’s buttons.
  • Page 54 Pressing the setup button (i.e., button 25) will terminate the button test and return you to the initial display of setup mode. At this point — if you have a assigned your NV9602 a suitable panel ID — you may connect your NV9602 to the panel network of your NV9000 system.
