Introduction
Modes of Operation
Here is an example of a system with an NV9649 and 7 NV9648 clients:
In this example, there are 21 control sections in addition to the controls of the NV9649. At any
moment, the operator can route to 21 destinations. The operator can, of course, assign different
destinations to the control units at any time. The function buttons in each unit apply only to the
destination assigned to the unit.
Saved Client Assignments
Every time an operator assigns a destination to an NV9648 client or assigns a source to a source
button of a client, those assignments are recorded within the NV9000 system controller. There-
fore, if and when the system controller undergoes a power cycle, the source and destination
assigments of all the NV9648 clients are preserved.
The NV9649 (server) can be configured so that up to 12 different sets of client assignments (or
“set-ups” as they are called in the NV9649’s menu) can be defined, selected, redefined, and
otherwise managed as different operators choose.
A NV9649 always has a default setup and may have eleven other named setups.
‘Panel Standalone’ Mode
When the panel is in “standalone” mode, it functions much the way it does in “client” mode, but
it does not require the presence of an NV9649 and has a few added button function types, in
particular a destination section button.
In standalone mode, each of the panel’s 3 control sections functions as a complete and separate
control unit, unrelated to the other two sections. Each unit’s display shows the destination
chosen for its section. If the unit has no destination selected, the display reads “NO DEST.”
Each of the 3 units can be configured with a default destination.
