Grass Valley NV9601 v.2.0 - Manual (Page 13)

NV9601 Control Panel • User’s Guide 3
1. Introduction
Modes of Operation
assigned to levels HD, SD and TC, you can select to route to only HD. By default, all valid levels
are selected for a “take.” To route to only a subset—to “breakaway”—the levels must be specifi-
cally selected. For more information, see
Breakaways on page 33.
Multi-Destination (MD) Mode
MD mode enables you to route one or more sources to multiple destinations at one time. In this
mode, you (1) choose a destination, (2) choose a source, and (3) using the
Hold
button select addi-
tional destinations. When
Take
is pressed, the source is routed to all selected destinations (see
Multi-Destination Mode – Take on page 51).
The display area shows only the primary level so that additional destinations can be viewed instead.
Takes are “all levels” and breakaways cannot be performed. “All levels” means that when
Take is
pressed, the control panel automatically matches as many of the source levels as possible to the
available destination levels; a subset of levels cannot be chosen. Individual destinations are selected
by using the selection buttons located below the display area.
Up to eight destinations appear in the display area at any one time. Use the
Page Up
and
Page Down
buttons to view any additional destinations.
Other Modes
The control panel has modes for managing control panel settings (Menu mode), executing salvos
(Salvo mode), setting up the panel (Setup mode), and viewing system messages (Info mode).
Menu Mode
Pressing the Menu button places the NV9601 in Menu mode. Usually Menu mode is used for
changing panel settings, such as assigning the panel an ID number or controlling button brightness.
For more information, see
Viewing and Updating Panel Settings on page 19.
In this mode, the following menu options are available:
1 Software. Displays information about the application loaded onto the control panel.
2 User. Displays the user name and user ID.
3 Panel. Displays panel name, ID, configuration file, host name, and IP address.
4 Illumination. Changes the illumination of the buttons. See
Changing Button Illumination on
page 20.
5 Salvo. Enables you to start, pause or cancel a salvo record; save a salvo, or clear a local salvo.
See Salvos on page 47.
6 Force Release. Enables or disables the ability to force a release of locks or protects. See Force
Release on page 39.
7 [not used]
8 Exit. Press to exit the currently displayed menu screen. If at the initial screen, pressing the but-
ton exits menu mode.
Setup Mode
This mode activates automatically when the NV9601 is first powered up, but is still disconnected
from the network. In this mode, the Firmware menu appears and the NV9601’s panel ID can be set.
For instructions on setting a panel ID, see
Initializing the Control Panel on page 27.
