Modes Of Operation; Multi-Destination Mode; X-Y Mode - GRASS VALLEY NV9000 User Manual

Introduction

Modes of Operation

The ordering of suffixes and mnemonics on these fixed buttons is arbitrary. See
Selection
The other 14 function buttons can be assigned any available function.
The set of available functions (28) is the same in X-Y mode and MD mode.

Modes of Operation

The panels can operate in one of 2 modes:

• X-Y mode.

• Multi-destination (MD) mode.
The panels can be configured so that either mode is selectable by the operator.

Multi-Destination Mode

The panel supports up to 512 MD destinations. The NV9616 displays 16 at a time on the LCD
buttons. The NV9608 displays 8 at a time.
Operators perform a take by (optionally) scrolling to an MD page, pressing an LCD button
to select a destination, selecting a source, and pressing the take button under the selected
LCD button. The operator uses the function buttons to select a source. See
Selection
In MD mode, the LCD buttons are generally green — and high-tally when selected. They
become yellow when you have selected a source and red when you have locked or
protected a destination.
Breakaway is not directly possible in MD mode, but when the operator performs breakaway
in X-Y mode and then switches to MD mode, the destination(s) for which breakaway
occurred show the device name in reverse text.
X-Y Mode
The LCD buttons represent a single selected destination and the levels for that destination.
The destination appears on the top left LCD button (for the NV9616). On the NV9608, it is
simply the left button. This button is generally amber. It also displays the text "X - Y" and
"Dest" to remind operators that the panel is in X-Y mode. The button is red when the
destination is locked.
The remaining LCD buttons show the levels. The level buttons are generally green — and
high-tally when selected. Level buttons turn yellow when you have selected a source on
those levels. If there are fewer levels than available buttons, the extra buttons are blank. If
there are more levels than available buttons, the operator can scroll through the pages of
levels using the scroll buttons. The destination button remains in its fixed position
regardless of the page.
Breakaway is possible in X-Y mode. Operators may select the levels for which the take is to
occur by pressing the individual LCD buttons that represent the levels. (Scrolling might be
necessary to view all the levels.)
