Configuration
Button Definitions
Destination
Lock
Sets or removes a “lock” on the current destination device. The lock can be
removed only by the user that originally set the lock, or by a panel that has
“Force Release” enabled.
In MD mode, an “L” appears next to the destination when it is locked.
In X-Y mode, an “L” appears next to selected levels when they are locked.
Destination
Protect
Sets or removes a “protect” on the current destination device. The protect can be
removed only by the user that originally set the protect, or by a panel that has
“Force Release” enabled.
Note: a protect prevents others from routing to a destination; a lock prevents
anyone
—
even the user who issued the lock
—
from routing to the destination.
In MD mode, a “P” appears next to the destination when it is protected.
In X-Y mode, a “P” appears next to selected levels when they are protected.
Free Source
Defines a phantom device that can be used to release or “free” devices on the
data (control) level. A free source is also used with tielines to free the tieline for
others to use. The free source is configured in the Level Set Details page of
NV9000-SE Utilities.
[Forward]
The panel software can introduce a “forward” button if an automatically gener-
ated list has more entries than can fit on a page.
A ‘Forward’ displays and activates the next button page in an automatically
generated sequence.
There is no explicit ‘Forward’ button type; configurers cannot create forward
buttons explicitly.
Global
Navigate
A global navigation button is very much like a navigation button to the operator.
However, during configuration, it selects a previously defined “global naviga-
tion” template. The template itself may have structure that ordinary button
pages have. It can include any button type except additional global navigate
buttons. See
Hold
In multi-destination mode, Hold retains destination selections after a take. In X-Y
mode, Hold retains breakaway levels after a take. (There are other effects. See
on page 35.)
Information The information button displays auxiliary information about level mapping and
perhaps other matters. The operator presses the information button once to see
the information and again to hide the information.
Level Map
Cross-connects levels (in the same physical router). The function is typically used
to shuffle audio channels, for example, to connect AES1/2 to AES3/4.
The Level Map mode is cancelled when the next normal take is performed
involving the selected destinations.
Menu
This button puts the NV9642 panel in menu mode and displays a menu on the
LCD buttons that provides access to a variety of panel options. The button is
required if you want the user to have access to the menu.
By pressing certain LCD buttons, the user makes menu selections and may enter
data (such as panel ID) or change LCD brightness values. The LCD button text
varies greatly with context in menu mode. See
on page 63.
