It is in the panel's 'Manage Config' sub-menu (if the panel has a menu button) that an
operator can select one of the defined setups. This sub-menu uses the 12 buttons at the left
side of the panel. The upper left button is always reserved for the default setup. Some of the
other 11 buttons might be blank.
Operators may press the 'Recall Set-Up' button to activate one of the available setups.
Operators may press the 'Clear Set-Up' button to revert one of the available setups to its
originally configured condition. That is, the clients revert to the sources and destinations
defined for them in the NV9000 configuration, as specified in NV9000-SE Utilities.
Operators may press the 'Save Set-Up' button to save the current setup as one of the
named setups, overwriting the previous assignments of that named setup.
Whenever you recall, save, or clear any named setup, that setup becomes the current
setup. Subsequent source and destination assignments are recorded in the current
setup and other setups are not affected.

Levels
In NV9000-SE Utilities and in the NV9000 router control system, routes occur on levels. A
level is typically SD, HD, analog video, AES, analog audio, or machine control. Various
devices are defined as sending and receiving signals on certain levels. The set of levels
handled by a device belong to what is called a level set.
A source can be routed to a destination if it has the same set of levels, i.e., it belongs to the
same named level set. A source can be routed to a destination in a different level set if the
NV9000 configuration has the appropriate mapping.
Levels are usually called "virtual levels" in NV9000-SE Utilities.
The effect of this is that when you, the operator, choose a destination, the NV9000
recognizes which source devices are allowed to be routed to the destination and limits your
selection to those sources.
Breakaway
Routes can be "all-level" in which case they are taken on all levels defined for the
destination. The acceptable sources for a route have the same levels as, or some configured
mapping to, the levels of the destination.
A breakaway is where you take different sources to the same destination — on different
levels.
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. (Routers are not mixers.)
Level Mode
As stated earlier, you can switch the panel in and out of level mode (if the panel has a 'Level
Mode' button). Level mode allows you to select exactly one of the destination's levels (by
scrolling). A take in level mode is a single-level breakaway.
