Configuration
Button Definitions
These are the button types available for NV9654 configurations:
Type Description
Back The ‘Back’ function places the predecessor of the current button page on the
panel.
The panel software can introduce a “back” button if an automatically generated
list has more entries than can fit on a page.
Broadcast On the machine control level, the button enables a broadcast take to an addi-
tional 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 74.
See also the Source Master button, following.
Category Displays a category’s device list.
When you assign a category button, two additional drop-down menus appear:
‘Src Category’ and ‘Dst Category’. Choose a category from one of the category
lists. When you choose a source category, the destination categories become
inaccessible and vice versa: a category button must be either a source category
or a destination category. You must choose ‘None’ in either category list to
switch to the other category list.
When you choose either ‘Src Category’ or ‘Dst Category’, the ‘Use global suffix
page to select devices’ checkbox becomes enabled and a ‘Suffix Page’ drop-
down menu appears. You can select a suffix template in the drop-down menu.
If you choose a suffix template, when the operator clicks the category button,
the suffix page appears. If you do not, a list of devices in the category appears.
See
Global Navigation on page 44 for further detail.
The default button text will be the category name. You can override the default
text.
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’.
