Operation

Name Sets

A take can occur in 4 ways:
• You have selected a destination and then a source. A 'Take' button lights and you press
the 'Take' button.
• You have selected a destination and press a 'Quick Source' button (or a 'Src/Dst'
button). The take occurs immediately.
• There is a default destination (or a destination assigned by an NV9649) and you select a
source. A 'Take' button lights and you press the 'Take' button.
• There is a default destination (or a destination assigned by an NV9649) and you press a
'Quick Source' button (or a 'Src/Dst' button). The take occurs immediately.

Immediate takes on 'Src/Dst buttons' is a panel option that can be enabled or disabled.
Name Sets
NV9000-SE Utilities allows configurers to define multiple name sets. Each name set contains
aliases (alternate names) for any and all devices in the NV9000 system. The aliases can
appear in the displays of your panel. Whichever name set you are currently using is the
active name set.
There is always a 'System Name' set. That name set includes the device names defined
within the NV9000 configuration. Any other name sets are optional.
Device selection using categories and suffixes requires that you enter device names using
the system name set. However, the display shows the device name as it is represented in the
active name set.
For example, suppose the system name for a destination is "VTR_42" and its alias is
"Prod_A. " Follow these steps to select the device using category selection:
• Switch to destination mode if necessary.
• Press a VTR category button. (Suffix buttons become enabled.)
• Press 4, then 2. The device is selected, but the name appearing in the destination
display is "PROD_A. "
Note that when the panel is displaying aliases, and a device does not have an alias, the
panel displays the system name.

The panel might use a name set. The panel option is available only under the LCD
XY/MD model. You cannot switch between the specified name set and the default
name set.

Broadcast Routes

It is easy and normal to route a source to multiple destinations for audio and video routers.
In contrast, machine control routes are typically point-to-point. Therefore, to control
multiple machines requires that you perform a "broadcast" operation using a 'Broadcast'
button.
During broadcast, the source device controls one or more destination devices.
