Introduction
Panel Organization
In X-Y mode, the status column represents the levels of a source or the levels of multiple
sources under breakaway. These are called the current source(s). The presence of ‘--------’ in
the status or preset columns means that that particular level is not defined for the destina-
tion. Therefore, no source selection for that level is possible. The illustration above shows
that levels HD and ‘TimeCode’ are not defined for VTR 1.
In MD mode, the status column represents the sources routed to each of the destinations in
the ‘Level/Dest’ column. Again, these are the current sources.
• Preset.
The preset column indicates what source will be routed to a destination when the operator
presses the ‘Take’ button.
In X-Y mode, the preset column represents the levels of a source or the levels of multiple
sources under breakaway. These are called the preset source(s). After the take, they disappear
from the preset column and re-appear in the status column, reflecting that the preset
sources have now become current sources.
In MD mode, the preset column indicates the sources that will be routed to selected destina-
tions in the ‘Level/Dest’ column. These are the preset source(s). After the take, they disappear
from the preset column and re-appear in the status column, reflecting that the preset
sources have now become current sources.
The display fields can show either names from a name set or system mnemonics for devices
depending on (1) the state of the ‘Name Set Toggle’ button (if the panel has one), (2) the default
name set (3) the existence of name sets in the NV9000 configuration. (An alias is a name defined
in a name set.)
Flags
The display also shows flags of different kinds next to the sources and destinations.
Selection Marks
At the far right of the display are marks (rectangles) that turn on to indicate selections.
In X-Y mode, the marks turn on to indicate that a level is selected. They are not visible otherwise.
(The operator makes level selections using the selection buttons below the display.)
In MD mode, a mark appears to the right of the currently selected destination (and of all the
currently selection destinations when the panel is in hold mode).
Other Signs
A plus sign (+) indicates that additional information is available. There is an ‘Info’ button that
operators may press to view the additional information.
In MD mode, an asterisk (*) directly after a source name indicates a breakaway on that destina-
tion. In X-Y mode, an asterisk (*) directly after the destination name indicates a breakaway on
that destination.
An ‘L’ indicates that a device has been locked. A ‘P’ indicates that a device has been protected.
NV9601 operators may lock, protect or release sources and destinations if the panel configura-
tion allows it. It is important for operators to know that other operators may lock, protect, or
release sources and destinations.
