    NV9603A User’s Guide Configuration Tasks The person configuring an NV9603A panel will want to consider how best to use the buttons to support the devices and routers in the router control system at hand.

    Operation Chapter 5 provides operating instructions for the NV9603A control panel. Topics Summary ................25 Operating Concepts .

  • Page 36: Single-Destination Operation

    Operation Summary Takes are all level unless your panel has level buttons. If your panel has level buttons, you can select the level(s) on which the take is to occur. The sources of levels not selected remain unchanged. Single-Destination Operation Your panel might have been configured to have a single destination.

  • Page 37: Operating Concepts

    NV9603A User’s Guide Operating Concepts Source Shift and Destination Shift Each source button can represent two sources. A ‘Source Shift’ button selects which of the two sources the button will select. (The concept is similar to the shift key or the ‘caps lock’ key on a keyboard.) A source shift button is a toggle: it is low-tally when it has enabled the first source.

  • Page 38: Making A Category Selection

    Operation Operating Concepts Making a Category Selection 1 Put the panel in source mode or destination mode as required. (Note: you must select a des- tination first, then the source, then press ‘Take’— unless your panel is a single-destination panel where the destination is always pre-selected.) 2 Press a category button that will initiate a category selection.

  • Page 39: Level Selection

    NV9603A User’s Guide It is not possible to take different sources to the destination on the same level. For instance, you cannot take SD from two different sources. The outcome would be noise even if you could do it. (That is because routers are not mixers.) Level Selection If your panel has level buttons, you can select or deselect levels.

  • Page 40: Chop

    Operation Operating Concepts • Select a destination category and initiate device selection for that category. • During the process of device selection, add a suffix to the pending device name. A category button can provide any or all of these functions. A typical NV9603A configuration has a “keypad”...

  • Page 41: Destination Lock

    NV9603A User’s Guide Destination Lock This button is a toggle that sets or clears a lock on the current destination. The lock can be removed at the panel that originally set the lock, at a panel that has the same user ID, or by a forced release at any panel.

  • Page 42: Destination Shift

    Operation Operating Concepts Destination Shift The ‘Destination Shift’ button toggles between the first and second sets of destinations. The button affects the operation of any destination button. 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.

    NV9603A User’s Guide • Scrolling salvos in salvo mode: ‘Page Down’ moves to the salvo with the next lower index in the panel’s salvo list. (It is expected that if the panel has a salvo button, the NV9000 system also has a salvo list.) Scrolling salvos is not subject to the “continuous scrolling”...

  • Page 44: Source

    Operation Operating Concepts Source The button selects a source. The source name appears in the ‘Status’ display. A source button represents two sources. The source selected when you press the button is affected by whether your panel has a ‘Source Shift’ button and its state: whether it is selected or not.

  • Page 45: Take

    NV9603A User’s Guide Take In normal mode, a take button routes the preset source to the selected destination on selected level or levels. In salvo mode, a take button executes a selected salvo. A take button is disabled (and dark) until it becomes possible for the operator to execute a take. Undefined An undefined button cannot be used and appears dark (unlit) on the panel.

  • Page 46: Takes

    Operation Operating Concepts Use this same method to protect or unprotect selected levels, using a ‘Destination Protect’ button instead. Note that lock buttons are toggles. Therefore, if you select some levels that are already locked and some that are unlocked, pressing the lock button will invert their status. Locked levels become unlocked and those that were unlocked become unlocked.

  • Page 47: Broadcast Routes

    NV9603A User’s Guide Broadcast Routes It is easy to route a source to multiple destinations for audio and video routers. You place the panel in hold mode with the hold button. In contrast, machine control routes are typically point-to-point. Therefore, to control multiple machines requires that you perform a “broadcast”...

  • Page 48: Data Routing

    Operation Operating Concepts Data Routing There are 3 data routing options that affect sources and destinations that have a machine control level (i.e., a data level). These options govern what happens when a source or destina- tion device is to be used. Automatic Data Routing A take involving a machine control level occurs automatically, without intervention, regardless of who is using a device.

  • Page 49: Salvo Mode

    NV9603A User’s Guide Follow these steps: 1 Press a destination button. The ‘Destination’ field of the display shows the destination you chose. Scroll to the correct page if necessary. 2 Optionally press ‘Source Shift’ to toggle between the sets of sources. 3 Press a source button.
