Button Types
These are the button types available for NV9601 configurations:
Type Description
Broadcast On the data (control) level, the button enables a broadcast take to an additional
controlled device, after a broadcast route has been initiated with a “source is
master” control-level take to the first controlled device.
The button is useful in dubbing applications or when a backup (redundant)
device is in use. See
Broadcast Routes on page 49.
See also the Source Master button, following.
Category Displays a category’s device list.
When you assign a category button, 4 additional drop-down menus appear:
‘Level Set Filter’, ‘Source Category’, ‘Destination Category’, and ‘Suffix’.
The level set filter allows you to restrict the list of categories according to the
level set to which the categories’ devices belong. Choose one of the level set
names in the drop-down list.
Each category button can represent a source category, a destination category,
and a suffix. When the panel is in source mode, the category button will select its
source category. When the panel is in destination mode, the category button will
select its destination category.
After a category has been selected, the suffixes on the category buttons come
into play. All of the panel’s category buttons that provide suffixes activate when
a category has been selected.
To configure the button, choose a source category and a destination category.
You can choose ‘None’ for either.
Finally, and optionally, choose a suffix from the drop-down list for suffixes.
Generally, suffixes are the numerals 0–9, but they can also be alphanumeric and
up to 4 characters in length. (You can review the available suffixes in the
‘Suffixes’ table under ‘Views’ in NV9000-SE Utilities.)
Chop When a chop function is supported by the router, the button is a toggle that
enables and disables rapid switching of the selected destination device between
the current source and the preset source. This chop function is used to test
system timing.
Clear Preset Erases preset entries, while leaving the panel in the same mode. We recommend
you use this button because it is a “safety” feature.
The clear preset button has the side effect of switching off ‘Save Preset’ mode.
Default State Returns the panel to its most recent power-up state. That is called the default
state.
Destination Selects a destination.
When you assign a destination button, a drop-down menu appears: ‘Destination
Device’. Choose a device from the list.
The ‘None’ entry is merely a placeholder. Do not choose ‘None’.
