Introduction Function Buttons and Displays The NV9648 has 3 very different operating modes (or behavioral models): • ‘Panel Client’ mode. For brevity, we can call this “client” mode. When the panel is in “client” mode, it operates in conjunction with an NV9649 and other NV9648s.
NV9648 User’s Guide Tally Interface At the rear of the panel is a DB25 connector that provides 8 tally inputs and 4 tally outputs. (The outputs are solid state relay outputs.) Both inputs and outputs are optically isolated. During configuration, you can construct Boolean logic that switches the outputs on or off. The terms of the logic expressions are states of the source and destination devices, etc., controlled by the NV9000 control system.
Introduction Modes of Operation Here is an example of a system with an NV9649 and 7 NV9648 clients: NV9649 (1) NV9648 (7) 3 Panel Sections (7x) In this example, there are 21 control sections in addition to the controls of the NV9649. At any moment, the operator can route to 21 destinations.
NV9648 User’s Guide ‘LCD Min XY/MD’ Mode When the panel is in LCD XY/MD mode, the panel also operates standalone, not requiring the presence of an NV9649, and has a moderately richer function set. The panel’s buttons can be used in a hierarchical fashion: pressing a ‘navigation’ button causes the panel to display a new set of configured button functions, called a “button page.
Page 18
Introduction Other NV9648 Functions Most of these capabilities are available only under the ‘LCD Min XY/MD’ behavioral model.
Installation Installation Installation Follow these steps to install a NV9648 control panel: 1 Mount, and secure, the panel(s) in the rack. The NV9648 is designed to mount in a 19” rack. Rack-mounting is not a requirement. The NV9648 is a 2RU half-width panel: you can install two of them side by side in a rack. Rack mounting (either one or two NV9648s) requires a rack mounting bracket such as the one in Grass Valley’s NV9649-48-RMK (rack-mounting kit).
NV9648 User’s Guide A second power connection is for redundancy only (protection against failure) and is not a requirement for operation. Refer to Power Specifications on page 81 for details on the PS0001 power supply. See also Power Cord Retention on page 87.

NV9648 User’s Guide 3 Is the NV9000 system controller actually running? With the typical noise levels in a facility, it can sometimes be difficult to tell. Use the ‘System’ pages of NV9000-SE Utilities to make the determination. 4 Is NV9000-SE Utilities installed and operating? If so, can you upload a configuration to the specified panel? 5 Does the configuration actually work? Is it useful? Can the operator perform takes and per- form other operations?
Configuration Chapter 4 provides configuration instructions for the NV9648. Topics Summary ................15 Adding a Panel to an NV9000 Configuration .
Configuration Adding a Panel to an NV9000 Configuration The operator can switch the panel between “X-Y mode” and multi-destination (MD) mode. In X-Y mode, the operator can perform takes (and locks) on individually selected levels. In MD mode, takes occur on all levels, but the operator can perform takes to multiple destinations simultaneously.

NV9648 User’s Guide Type Description X-Y Display This button displays the current source and current destination. It is usable in both X/Y mode and MD mode. XY/MD Switches the panel between X-Y mode and multi-destination mode (when the Mode panel is operating under the LCD XY/MD behavioral model). The configuration page lets you specify a color for this button, but the color you specify is ignored.
Configuration Button Definitions This option creates a new page in the button tree. During operation, the navigation button you are creating will cause the NV9648 to display, or jump to, that page. The name of the page and the button caption are what you type in the three lines for the button caption. You can change the name of the page in the button page list.

Configuration Selection Buttons If you check the ‘Manually order buttons’ box, SE presents a dialog that lists the sources, des- tinations, categories, or salvos you selected. You may reorder the items. To do so, double- click on a row in the ordered list and drag it up or down to the position that you want. The new position will be indicated by a slightly heavier black line.
NV9648 User’s Guide Note that the maximum number of MD destinations is configured in multiples 8, from 8 to 512. Populating the MD Device List The ‘Edit Multi-Destination Device’ button appears when you are configuring a selection button. Click this button to get the ‘Multi-Destination Entry’ window. The window presents a list of all destinations on the left and a set of MD devices at the right.
Configuration Single-Destination Mode Display Indexes You can configure selection buttons on any of your button pages. During configuration, when you assign a selection button, an additional drop-down menu appears: ‘Display Index’ . The drop-down menu for the button’s display index has as many entries as there are selection buttons.
Page 55
NV9648 User’s Guide 3 Click ‘Edit Multi-Dest Devices’ . The multi-destination entry editor appears: On the left is a list of all destinations defined in the NV9000 system. On the right is a table of the MD destinations you are defining. The number of rows in this table is equal to the maxi- mum number of MD destinations your configuration allows.
Configuration Multi-Destination Configuration MD Destination Options On the right side of the multi-destination entry editor, each MD destination has two check- boxes. One is in the ‘User Definable’ column and the other is in the ‘User Selectable’ column. User-Definable When the MD destination is “user definable, ” the operator may choose a different destination using the panel buttons.
Operation Behavioral Models The panel’s LCD XY/MD behavioral model supports a hierarchical (or tree-structured) set of button pages. Although one can see a list of the pages in the tree during configuration, the structure of the tree is not evident on the panel itself. The panel operator must commit some or all of the tree structure to memory to be able to use the panel.
NV9648 User’s Guide Client Mode When the panel is in “client” mode, it operates in conjunction with an NV9649 and other NV9648s. The NV9649 is the “server” and the NV9648s are the “clients. ” The NV9649 and the NV9648s combine to form, in essence, a larger panel — actually a cluster of many small control units.
Operation Behavioral Models Saved NV9648 Assignments Every time an operator, at the NV9649 server, assigns a destination to an NV9648 client or assigns a source to a source button of a client, those assignments are recorded within the NV9000 system controller. Therefore, if and when the system controller undergoes a power cycle, the source and destination assigments of all the NV9648 clients are preserved.
NV9648 User’s Guide Although each control unit’s destination can be selected, the control unit can also be configured having a default destination. If the unit has a default destination, it can function without desti- nation selection buttons. There are 7 button function types for a panel operating under the standalone model: Destination Destination Lock Destination Protect...
Operation Behavioral Models This behavioral model is called the LCD XY/MD model because you can switch the panel between “X-Y mode” and multi-destination (MD) mode. In X-Y mode, you can perform takes (and locks) on individually selected levels for a single destination, one destination at a time. In MD mode, takes occur on all levels, but you can perform takes to multiple destinations simulta- neously, as required.
NV9648 User’s Guide Operating Concepts Levels In 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.
Operation Operating Concepts Hold Hold mode (and hold buttons) apply in both X-Y mode and multi-destination mode. Breakaway In X-Y mode, a hold button retains breakaway levels after a take. Simply press the hold button at any time before the take. A hold button is a toggle.
NV9648 User’s Guide Takes A “take” is a route as it is being performed. In X-Y mode, a take can be a route from one source, on all levels, to a destination or it can be a router from multiple sources, on different levels, to a destination. In MD mode, a take is (1) a route of a source to a destination on all levels or (2) several such routes executed simultaneously.
Operation Button Functions Automatic Data Routing A take involving a machine control level occurs naturally on all selected levels, including the machine control level, regardless of whether an affected machine control port is in use. The system breaks any existing control connections involved with the source and destination and makes a new control connection for the source and destination.
NV9648 User’s Guide Buttons for the Client Model Under the client model, the panel has 3 independent control units, and therefore each panel can control 3 destinations. The NV9649 (the server) can change the destinations assigned to the NV9648’s 3 control units. Under the client model, there are 5 button types, not including “undefined”...
Operation Button Functions Take A take button routes the chosen source to the destination device for the control unit in which the take button is located. (The source must have been selected in the same control unit.) The default button text is “Take” but the button can have any legend. Undefined An undefined button cannot be used and appears dark (unlit) on the panel.
NV9648 User’s Guide Quick Source A quick source button selects a source and performs an immediate take (to the destination of the control unit in which the quick source button is located). Quick source and source buttons are similar, except that the quick source performs a take. Be aware of which buttons are quick sources so you do not perform an accidental take.
Operation Button Functions Hold Previous Source XY/MD Mode Undefined Back Redisplay the previous button page. (The previous button page becomes active.) A back button may have any legend and be any color, but typically its legend is just “BACK” and typically, its color is blue, as it is for back buttons generated automatically for lists.
NV9648 User’s Guide Destination Protect This button is a toggle that sets or clears a protect on the current destination device. The protect can be removed at the panel that originally set the protect, at any panel that has the same user ID, or by a forced release at any panel.
Operation Button Functions Menu This button puts the panel in menu mode and produces a menu on the buttons and in the displays that provides access to a variety of panel functions. Without the button, the operator has no access to the menu functions. By pressing certain buttons, you makes menu selections and enter data (such as panel ID) or change brightness values.
NV9648 User’s Guide Page Up The button scrolls up. The meaning of scrolling varies with context: • Scrolling devices within a category: ‘Page Up’ moves back in the list of devices. (Back means toward the beginning of the list of devices.) When the list of devices is at the beginning already, the ‘Page Up’...
Operation Button Functions The button legend is typically the salvo name. Selection Any button page available at the panel might have one or more selection buttons. The buttons are typically arranged in a row or matrix that would make sense when you scroll entries displayed on the selection buttons.
NV9648 User’s Guide Quick source and source buttons are similar, except that the quick source performs a take. Be aware of which buttons are quick sources so you do not perform an accidental take. Normally, the button text is the source device’s mnemonic, but the configurer can assign any text to the button.
Operation Operating Methods Operating Methods Operating the NV9648 in either standalone mode or LCD XY/MD mode is straightforward. The standalone model is simple; the LCD XY/MD model is complex. The client model is also simple but not at all obvious because of the interaction between the NV9649 and the NV9648s.
NV9648 User’s Guide Procedure B — Preset a Source Using a Keypad To preset a source in the preset display of the NV9649 (server): 1 Ensure that the NV9649 is in source mode. Press a ‘Source Mode’ button or press a ‘SRC/DST Mode’...
Operation Menu Mode Note: because the NV9649 is in destination mode, the new destination mnemonic will immedi- ately appear in the display of the intended control unit. Procedure E — Takes Using Source Buttons To perform a take to a single destination using a NV9648 control unit having standard source buttons: 1 Press a source button in the control unit that corresponds to your intended destination.
