Free Source; Gang Take; Hold; Information - GRASS VALLEY NV9000 User Manual

Operation
Buttons
 The panel provides no explicit indication, in X-Y mode, of which levels are protected or
unprotected and in fact no indication of which destinations you have protected or
unprotected.
In MD mode, the protect affects all selected MD destinations. The buttons for those
destinations turn red and their legends read "Protect by ‹user›" where ‹user› is the user
name assigned to your panel. The button representing that destination on other users'
NV9616s or NV9608s turns red with the same legend.
 Note: a protect prevents others from routing to a destination; a lock prevents anyone —
even the user who issued the lock — from routing to the destination.
 You may lock a protected destination, but you cannot change a locked destination to a
protected destination directly. You must first unlock it.

Free Source

The button selects a pre-defined phantom device that can be used to release or "free"
devices on the data (machine control) level. A free source is also used with tielines to free
the tieline for others to use. The actual free source used is defined in the NV9000
configuration.
Use this button as if it were a source button.

Gang Take

When the panel is in MD mode, the 'Gang Take' executes a simultaneous take for all
selected MD destinations.
When the panel is in X-Y mode, the gang take button acts like an ordinary take button.

Hold

The button is a toggle; press it once to place the panel in "hold mode. " Press it again to
cancel "hold mode. " (The panel might or might not be configured to power up in hold
mode.)
In single-destination mode with breakaway, this button retains breakaway levels after a
take.
In limited X-Y mode, this button allows you to perform a gang (or "dub") switch. In hold
mode, destination selections are cumulative, and not mutually exclusive. See
page 32.
The 'Destination' field of the display shows the most recently selected destination under
hold mode.
The button definition has no fields to configure.

Information

An 'Information' button does nothing.
