Operation
Operating Concepts
 If you have chosen a destination whose basic levels are grouped, the panel’s selection
buttons show only the basic level names. (Other panels can show level group names.)
We discuss level groups — a feature of the router control system — only to state that the NV9649
does not have support for level groups.
Hold
Under the LCD XY/MD model, hold mode (and hold buttons) apply in both X-Y mode and multi-
destination mode.
Breakaway
In X-Y mode, a hold button retains breakaway levels after a take.
Simply press the hold button at any time before the take.
A hold button is a toggle. Press it once to put the panel in hold mode; press it again to remove
hold mode.
Multi-Destination Mode
In multi-destination mode, hold mode allows you to select more than one MD destination at a
time.
Category Selection
In the NV9000 system, devices are assigned to categories, where the devices within the catego-
ries are either numbered or identified by alphanumeric suffixes. For instance, a category
representing cameras might be CAM and the cameras in the category might be named CAM1,
CAM2, and so on.
NV9649 category buttons can represent a source category or a destination category. When you
press a category button to begin device selection, the panel displays a list of all devices in that
category. You can scroll through multiple pages of devices using ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’
buttons to find the device you want.
You can also use the panel’s knob to perform device selection by category. The panel will be in
either source mode or destination mode. Turning the knob scrolls through categories. Pressing
the knob selects the category displayed in the ‘Preset’ display. When you press the knob, the
panel allows you use the knob to scroll through devices within the selected category or to
append suffixes to the category mnemonic, using a “keypad,” to form the desired device name.
The device so named becomes the selected device.
The knob is used only when the panel is operating under the ‘Panel Server’ model.
