Secondary Modes; Button Legends; Operating Concepts - GRASS VALLEY NV9605 User Manual

Secondary Modes

Secondary modes are:
• Source mode — exists (in limited X-Y mode) when you press a 'Source/Dest Toggle'
button.
Source mode and destination mode affect the operation of 'Source/Destination'
buttons.
• Destination mode — exists (in limited X-Y mode) when you press a 'Source/Dest Toggle'
button.
• Setup mode — where the NV9605 is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the
network. In this mode, the configurer can preset the NV9605's panel ID and perform a
few diagnostic tasks.
Usually, only configurers need be concerned with setup mode.
See
• Menu mode — pressing a menu button places the NV9605 in "menu" mode. In menu
mode, the buttons lose their normal functions and become part of a menu that
changes as needed during menu operation.
There is nothing in the menu that concerns operators except button brightness. An
operator may use the menu to set button brightness. Administrators and configurers
may use the menu to view or change the panel ID, or to determine the software and
firmware revisions.
See
When the panel is not in setup mode or menu mode, we say it is in normal mode. "Normal"
means the panel is functioning in one of the 4 operating modes.

Button Legends

There are about 18 different button functions. Some might not be available on your panel
depending on the operating mode in which it was configured. Typically, buttons have
graphic or text legends that are plastic inserts placed under the clear button caps.
There are button templates available. Use these or your own to create button graphics.
Print the graphics on clear plastic, cut the button graphics apart and insert these under the
button caps.
Buttons are also color-coded to a limited degree. Green represents sources. Amber
represents destinations. Those colors are used for other functions, however. High-tally
(bright) buttons are those that are selected; low-tally (dim) buttons are those that are not
selected. Dark (white or gray) buttons are those that are disabled.

Pages
The NV9605 has 4 "pages" of sources and destinations. You can scroll from page to page
using the scroll buttons immediately to the right of the panel's display. The name of the
current page is always present in the bottom line of the display.
Pages are available in either mode.
Setup Mode on page 44.
Menu Mode on page 42.
