Button Legends - GRASS VALLEY NV9000 User Manual

• Setup mode — where the NV9616 is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the
network. In this mode, the configurer can preset the NV9616's panel ID and perform a
few diagnostic tasks.
Usually, only configurers need be concerned with setup mode.
See
• Salvo mode — pressing a salvo button places the NV9616 in salvo mode, where it is
expected that you will choose a salvo and then press the 'Take' button to execute the
salvo. (The duration of a salvo is indeterminate, but usually short.)
• Menu mode — pressing a menu button places the NV9616 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
• Hold mode — when hold mode is active in X-Y mode, a breakaway level selection
remains in effect until the operator turns hold mode off. In MD mode, when hold mode
is active, the operator may select multiple destinations.
• Save Preset mode — pressing a 'Save Preset' button, in MD mode, while you have a
preset source pending, places the panel in "save preset" mode in which you can name,
and save, a the current presets. You can then retrieve a named preset by pressing a
'Load Preset' button. See
• Load preset mode — pressing a 'Load Preset' button places the panel in a temporary
mode in which you can select a saved preset selection.
When the panel is not in setup mode, salvo mode, menu mode, we say it is in normal mode.
Normal mode might or might not include level mode.

Button Legends

There are about 26 different button functions. Typically, function buttons have graphic or
textual 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 buttons are those that are disabled.
The legends on the LCD buttons change dynamically and represent different things in
different contexts:
• In MD mode, the LCD buttons each represent a destination. All the LCD buttons work
the same way. The top line of text is the current source for the destination. The middle
line of text is the preset source for the destination. The middle line of text is blank when
you have not preset a source. The bottom line of text is the destination name.
