X-Y Mode; Secondary Modes - GRASS VALLEY NV9000 User Manual

Operation
Modes of Operation
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.
In MD mode, all the LCD buttons are normally green — and high-tally green when selected.
When you preset a source for an MD destination, then the button turns yellow.
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 source name in reverse text.
You can preset multiple MD destinations each, with its own source, and press 'Gang Take' to
execute a simultaneous route to all selected destinations.
 The panel might be configured so that it becomes locked after a timeout period in MD
mode. If your panel times out, simply press any active function button to release the
lock.

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 usually amber. It usually displays the text "X - Y" and
"Dest" to remind you that the panel is in X-Y mode. It is red when the destination is locked
(or when someone else has protected it).
The remaining LCD buttons show the levels. When the panel is in source mode, all the level
buttons are green — and high-tally when selected. The level buttons turn yellow if you have
preset a source for 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.
When the panel is in destination mode (i.e., you are selecting a destination) all the LCD
buttons are amber and high-tally when selected. This is a fairly obvious indication that the
panel is in destination mode. In addition, the destination button (at the left or top left)
shows the destination you are selecting on the top line of text. Because destination
selection uses categories and suffixes, the pending destination name will appear partially
completed as you continue to "build" the destination name using category/suffix buttons.
Breakaway is possible in X-Y mode. You may select the levels on 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.) You cannot select a level that does not apply to the
selected destination.
Operators perform a take by selecting a destination, (optionally) selecting levels, selecting a
source, and pressing the take button under any of the selected LCD buttons. The operator
uses the function buttons to select a source and to select a destination.

Secondary Modes

Secondary modes are:
• Source mode — exists briefly while you are choosing a source.
• Destination mode — exists briefly while you are choosing a destination.
