Configuration
Button Definitions
Destination
Lock
Sets or removes a “lock” on the current destination device. The lock can be
removed only by the user that originally set the lock, or by a panel that has
“Force Release” enabled.
In MD mode, an “L” appears next to the destination in the display when it is
locked. In X-Y mode, an “L” appears next to selected levels in the display when
they are locked.
Destination
Mode
Places the panel in destination mode. In destination mode, category buttons
that do not represent destinations become momentarily disabled (dark) and the
remaining enabled category buttons select destinations.
Note that the function of ‘Lock’ and ‘Protect’ buttons depend on whether the
panel is in destination mode or source mode.
Destination
Protect
Sets or removes a “protect” on the current destination device. The protect can be
removed only by the user that originally set the protect, or by a panel that has
“Force Release” enabled.
Note: a protect prevents others from routing to a destination; a lock prevents
anyone
—
even the user who issued the lock
—
from routing to the destination.
In MD mode, a “P” appears next to the destination in the display when it is
protected. In X-Y mode, a “P” appears next to selected levels in the display when
they are protected.
Free Source
Defines a phantom device that can be used to release or “free” devices on the
data (control) level. A free source is also used with tielines to free the tieline for
others to use. The free source is configured in the Level Set Details page of
NV9000-SE Utilities.
Hold
Toggles the panel in and out of “hold” mode. In multi-destination mode, hold
mode retains destination selections after a take. In X-Y mode, hold mode retains
breakaway levels after a take. (There are other effects. See
on
Information The information button displays auxiliary information about level mapping and
perhaps other matters. The operator presses the information button once to see
the information and again to hide the information.
Level Map
Cross-connects levels (in the same physical router). The function is typically used
to shuffle audio channels, for example, to connect AES1/2 to AES3/4.
The Level Map mode is cancelled when the next normal take is performed
involving the selected destinations.
Lock
The button locks (or unlocks) a source when the panel is in source mode and
locks (or unlocks) a destination when the panel is in destination mode.
Menu
This button puts the NV9601 panel in menu mode and displays a menu on the
LCD buttons that provides access to a variety of panel options. The button is
required if you want the user to have access to the menu.
By pressing certain LCD buttons, the user makes menu selections and may enter
data (such as panel ID) or change LCD brightness values. The LCD button text
varies greatly with context in menu mode. See
on page 52.
