Panel Organization Function Buttons The NV9641 has an array of 16 LCD buttons. Each has 3 lines of text (up to 8 characters per line). The buttons can display one of seven colors dynamically: nominally red, green, blue, purple, amber, yellow, or grey. An eighth color exists — “dark” — when the LCD is off. -
Page 15: Up/Down Buttons
During configuration, you can prescribe NV9641 behavior that depends on the tally inputs. What you connect to the tally interface is, of course, up to you. Miranda provides a breakout cable (WC0053) for the tally connector as a purchase option. -
Page 16: Modes Of Operation
Salvo mode tends to be very brief. • Menu Mode — pressing a Menu button places the NV9641 in “menu” mode. In menu mode, the LCD button array becomes a menu that changes as needed during menu operation. -

Page 22: Testing
These are points to consider after you install your NV9641 control panel(s): 1 Do the buttons illuminate? When an NV9641 powers up, its two leftmost LCD buttons are sup- posed to turn green. Does it pass the panel test mentioned above? 2 When the NV9641 powers up and it is connected to the system controller, it should initialize completely. -
Page 23: Configuration
The software with which to configure the NV9641 is NV9000-SE Utilities. Figure 4-1, following, shows the default NV9641 panel configuration page from NV9000-SE Utilities. The Panel IP Configuration Utility is also available if you want the NV9641 to take a static IP address. -
Page 24: Adding A Panel To A Nv9000 Configuration
Adding a Panel to a NV9000 Configuration Adding a Panel to a NV9000 Configuration You must create configurations for the NV9641 using NV9000-SE Utilities. We assume that you are familiar enough with NV9000-SE Utilities that you can understand the following material. It is not difficult material, but some of the concepts might not be familiar to everyone. - Page 25 Adding a Panel to a NV9000 Configuration Choose “NV9641” from the ‘Type’ field. Enter the panel ID you assigned to the panel (during ini- tial power-up) in the ID field. Give a name to the panel in the name field and select a user.

4. Configuration Button Definitions Check box “Place this button on all child pages.” When the operator presses a ‘Navigate’ button, its target page appears on the buttons. Any page can have multiple navi- gate buttons and therefore multiple target pages. If you check this option, the but- ton you are defining will occur, in the same position, on all pages in the subtree under the navigation button. - Page 37 In MD mode, the button of a locked destination appears bright red and its button legend is ‘Locked by ‹user›’ and the ‘X-Y Display’ button turns dark red.

Page 55: Operation
This chapter is intended specifically for the NV9641 panel operator. Summary As an NV9641 operator, you will be confronted initially with a small panel — 16 buttons of various colors with brief legends and certain color codes. Your NV9641 will be configured according to one of two behavioral models: •... -
Page 56: Modes Of Operation
Single-destination mode is typically an application of ‘Quick Source’ buttons. Secondary modes are: • Setup mode — where the NV9641 is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the network. In this mode, the configurer can preset the NV9641’s panel ID and perform a few diagnostic tasks. -
Page 57: Button Legends
5. Operation Summary • Menu mode — pressing a menu button places the NV9641 in “menu” mode. In menu mode, the LCD button array becomes a menu button panel that changes as needed during menu operation. The menu button is for operators. There is nothing in the menu that concerns operators except LCD brightness. -

Page 59: Lists
Operating Concepts Lists The NV9641 can display devices, categories, and salvos in automatically generated lists under the XY/MD model. There are three kinds of lists: • Generated during configuration of a navigation button. These lists are characterized by the pres- ence of “Back”... -
Page 60: Back
You can scroll the pages using back and forward buttons. If you press ‘Back’ while on the first page of the list, the NV9641 returns to the page con- taining the category button. -
Page 61: Chop
However, it is possible for a suffix page to have fewer buttons. When you press a category button, the NV9641 displays the first of perhaps several pages of device buttons. You can scroll the pages using the up and down buttons. If you press ‘Up’ while on the first page of the list, the NV9641 returns to the button page containing the category. -
Page 62: Destination Lock
5. Operation Operating Concepts Destination Lock * This button is a toggle that sets or clears a lock on the current destination. The lock can be removed at the panel that originally set the lock, at a panel that has the same user ID, or by a forced release at any panel. -

Page 66: Selection
5. Operation Operating Concepts Selection Operators use selection buttons to select and unselect levels in X-Y mode and to select and unselect MD destinations in MD mode. A button page that has selection buttons will have up to 8 of them. X-Y Mode When the panel is in X-Y mode, a selection button presents a virtual level that corresponds to the display index for the button and the preset source or destination device. -
Page 67: Source
An undefined button cannot be used and appears dark (unlit) on the panel. X-Y Display * The ‘X-Y Display’ button displays status — in either X-Y mode or MD mode. It also displays other messages in other circumstances, as required. Pressing this button has no effect. NV9641 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 NV9641 pro- vides locks and protects for destinations only.

Page 69: Single-Destination Mode
Implicit in the ‘Broadcast’ button is the “source is master” mode. It is not necessary to press ‘Source is Master’ repeatedly. The reason you must press ‘Source is Master’ the first time is that “broadcast mode” is not yet active. NV9641 Control Panel • User’s Guide... -

Page 77: Configuring Inputs
An event is signalled when a transition occurs on the input from on to off or from off to on. You can configure the NV9641 to recognize either occurrence on any of the 8 inputs, and specify one of 4 behaviors for each event or both: 1 Execute a salvo. - Page 78 Its 8 inputs can be switched on or off by your external devices. When an input transitions on or off, the NV9641 can respond with one of 4 actions, such as executing a salvo. (It is the system that actu- ally executes the salvo.)
