Button Legends
There are many different button function types (about 31) and the legend that appears on any
button varies with the type and depends on the configurer’s intentions. Button legends have 3
lines of 8 characters. One or more lines of a button legend can be blank.
Buttons are also color-coded. The colors are specified in the NV9642 configuration. In most
cases, buttons that are high-tally (bright) are active or selected. Buttons that are low-tally
(muted) are inactive or unselected. Buttons that are dark either have no function or are momen-
tarily disabled. As an example, a ‘Take’ button is disabled until you have a destination and a
source selected. Then, the ‘Take’ button goes high tally (red, by default).
By default, category buttons show the category mnemonic and source buttons show the source
device mnemonic. By default, destination buttons show the destination device mnemonic and
salvo buttons show the salvo mnemonic.
Of particular interest are the legends on the selection buttons and the ‘X-Y Display’ button in
both X-Y and multi-destination modes. These buttons carry 3 lines of important information.
Levels
In X-Y mode, a set of selection buttons presents a set of virtual levels that you can select and
deselect for breakaway takes. Call them “level” buttons for the sake of simplicity. You can also
use the level buttons to perform level-mapping. See the
Level Map function on page 54.
If you have more levels than buttons, you can use ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ scroll selection
buttons to view all the levels. (Those buttons are disabled when there is nothing to scroll.)
The display shows 4 levels at a time, as determined by the current destination:
X–Y Dest VTR––1 X–Y Dest VTR––1
–––––––– HD –––––––– HD
CAM––1 SD CAM––1 SD
CAM––1 AUDIO 1 CAM––1 AUDIO 1
The display shows the current destination at the
top. Here, it is VTR--1. The left column shows the
current source. The right column shows the level
names for the current destination.
The symbols at the very right of the display indi-
cate whether a level is selected. Here, levels HD
and timecode are not selected.
It might be necessary to scroll the display to
view all levels.
The preset source(s) — those that are pending a
take — are viewable on selection buttons, but not
on the display.
