  • Page 15: Button Functions (Server Mode)

    When the panel is in LCD XY/MD mode, the 28 function buttons form a “button page” in a hierarchical structure of button pages. Button Functions (Server Mode) When the NV9649 is operating under the ‘Panel Server’ model, its buttons have additional functions: When the operator presses the ‘Manage Configs’ button of the panel’s menu, the left group of 12 buttons function as a matrix of “panel setup”...

    When the panel is in “server” mode, it operates in conjunction with a number of NV9648s. The NV9649 is the “server” and the NV9648s are the “clients. ” The NV9649 and the NV9648s combine to form, in essence, a larger panel — actually a cluster of many small control units.

    NV9648 (7) 3 Panel Sections (7x) In this example, there are 21 control sections in addition to the controls of the NV9649. At any moment, the operator can route to 21 destinations. The operator can assign different destinations to the control units at any time. The function buttons in each individual control unit apply only to the destination assigned to that control unit.

    • Hold mode — when the operator has pressed a ‘Hold Preset’ button. See Selection Buttons, on page 65. Other NV9649 Functions The NV9649 can be configured to perform the following additional functions: • Previous source and free source. • System salvos. • Lock/protect/release for destinations.

  • Page 21: Installation

    Depending on your order, the NV9649 items that can ship include: • One or more NV9649 control panels. • One or two power supplies for each NV9649, with straps that secure the AC power cords to the power supplies. • One or more rack-mounting kits (NV9649-48-RMK).

  • Page 22: Installation

    The NV9649 is designed to mount in a 19© rack. Rack-mounting is not a requirement. The NV9649 is a 2RU half-width panel: you can install two of them side by side in a rack. Rack mounting (either one or two NV9649s) requires a rack mounting bracket such as the one in Grass Valley’s NV9649-48-RMK (rack-mounting kit).

    Valley if you need to obtain the latest version of this NV9000 configuration software. You may use the Panel IP Configuration Utility if you want to your NV9649 to have a static IP address (with respect to the NV9000) or to use DHCP. The panel, as it comes from the factory, defaults to DHCP.

  • Page 24: Testing

    These are points to consider after you install your NV9649 control panel(s): 1 Do the buttons illuminate? When an NV9649 powers up, one or more of its buttons are supposed to turn green or amber. Does it pass the panel test mentioned above? 2 When the NV9649 powers up and it is connected to the system controller, it should initialize completely.
  • Page 25 NV9649 User’s Guide  The NV9649, by default, acquires its IP address through DHCP on the NV9000’s panel/router network. You can use the Panel IP Configuration Utility to force the panel to have a static IP address. If (in setup mode) you do not see your designated panel ID in the ‘Preset’ display field, you have either not initialized the panel or no configuration has been created for your panel in NV9000-SE Utilities.

    Buttons and Button Legends Each of the NV9649’s 28 LCD buttons has 1, 2, or 3 lines of text, 8 characters per line. When there are one or two lines of text, the characters are large; when there are 3 lines of text, the characters are smaller.
