Summary
The NV9648 is a relatively simple panel. It has 27 function buttons, 3 small displays, and a GPIO
(tally) interface. The displays and function buttons are organized into 3 groups, each group
having 1 display and 9 function buttons.
Each display shows 8 characters.
Each function button has a color LCD, 64×32, that provides up to 3 lines of text, 8 characters per
line, in several colors and at two levels, bright (high-tally) and dim (low-tally). When a button is
undefined, unassigned, or momentarily disabled, its LCD is off and we say the button is “dark.”
The NV9648 panel can be configured to operate under 3 behavioral models (or operating
modes):
• ‘Panel Client’ mode.
When the panel is in “client” mode, it operates in conjunction with an NV9649 and other
NV9648s. The NV9649 is the “server” and the NV9648s are the “clients.” The NV9649, being
the server, can control which sources and destinations the NV9648s can select. To some
extent, it can control the functioning of the clients.
• ‘Panel Standalone’ mode.
When the panel is in “standalone” mode, it functions much the way it does in “client” mode,
but with a slightly different function set. In standalone mode, an NV9649 is not required.
• ‘LCD Min XY/MD’ mode.
In this mode, the panel also operates standalone, but has a richer function set. The panel’s
buttons are used in a hierarchical fashion: pressing a ‘navigation’ button causes the panel to
display a new set of button functions or a “button page.” There can be many such pages,
organized in a configurable tree structure.
