‘LCD Min XY/MD’ Mode
When the panel is in LCD XY/MD mode, the panel also operates standalone, not requiring the
presence of an NV9649, and has a moderately richer function set. The panel’s buttons can be
used in a hierarchical fashion: pressing a ‘navigation’ button causes the panel to display a new
set of configured button functions, called a “button page.” There can be many such pages, orga-
nized in a configurable tree structure.
The operator can switch the panel between “X-Y mode” and multi-destination (MD) mode. In
X-Y mode, the operator can perform takes (and locks) on individually selected levels for a single
destination at a time. In MD mode, takes occur on all levels, but the operator can perform takes
to multiple destinations simultaneously.
Under the LCD XY/MD model, the 3 sections of the panel are integrated. The displays show,
respectively, from left to right, (1) the current source, (2) the preset source, and (3) the selected
destination. All 27 function buttons form a “button page” in a hierarchical structure of button
pages.
The panel supports the use of multiple ‘selection’ buttons. When the panel is in X-Y mode, the
selection buttons select levels. When the panel is in MD mode, the selection buttons select MD
devices (which are destinations). If there are more levels (or more MD devices) than there are
selection buttons, the operator can press a ‘Page Up’ or ‘Page Down’ button to scroll through
the list of levels (or, in MD mode, the list of MD devices).
Additional Modes
Additional but secondary modes of panel operation are:
• Setup mode — where the NV9648 is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the net-
work. In this mode, you can preset the NV9648’s panel ID and perform a few diagnostic tasks.
See Setup Mode on page 71.
• Menu mode — pressing a menu button places the NV9648 in “menu” mode. In menu mode,
the buttons lose their normal functions and become part of a menu that changes as needed
during menu operation.
See Menu Mode on page 68.
Other modes of operation are:
• Hold mode — when you press the ‘Hold’ button, hold mode becomes active and when you
press it again, hold mode becomes inactive. See Hold on page 61.
Hold mode is available when the panel is operating under the LCD XY/MD model.
Other NV9648 Functions
The NV9648 can be configured to perform the following additional functions:
• Previous source and free source.
• System salvos.
• Lock/protect/release for destinations.
• Device selection using categories and indexes or suffixes.
• Multiple- and single-level breakaways.
