Behavioral Models; Panel Server' Mode - GRASS VALLEY NV9649 User Manual

Behavioral Models

The panel can operate according to 3 behavioral models (or operating modes):
• Server mode.
• NV9609 mode.
• 'LCD XY/MD' mode.
Your panel will operate in only one of these modes. It is not possible to change modes
except by reconfiguration. It is not likely that your panel will be reconfigured often.

'Panel Server' Mode

When the panel is in "server" mode, it operates in conjunction with a number of NV9649s.
The NV9649 is the "server" and the NV9649s are the "clients. " The NV9649 and the NV9649s
combine to form, in essence, a larger panel — actually a cluster of many small control units.
The NV9649, being the server, can control which sources and destinations the NV9649s can
select.
Each NV9649 has 3 identical sections and each section functions as a complete and
separate control unit, unrelated to any other NV9649 section. Each section controls a
destination you choose at the NV9649. The section's display usually shows that destination.
The NV9649 can also assign sources to the source buttons of individual NV9649 control
units.
Here is an example of a system with an NV9649 and 7 NV9649 clients:
NV9649 (1)
NV9649 (7)
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. You can assign different
3 Control Units (7x)
