Operation
Operating Concepts
is still on when you press ‘Take’, the selected destinations remain selected and the display
reflects the selected destinations. The buttons for the selected destinations remain high-tally.
Without hold enabled, the panel has no destinations selected after an MD take and the buttons
for the selected destinations go low-tally.
When hold is active, all selected MD destinations get the source you selected most recently (in
case you change your mind and selected another source).
X-Y Mode
In X-Y mode, the hold button causes breakaway levels to be retained after a take. The levels you
selected (and deselected) remain lit (or unlit) as they were before the take.
Information
The ‘Information’ button presents auxiliary information on the alphanumeric display. Such infor-
mation might be level-mapped sources.
The default button text is “Info” but the button can have any legend.
Level Map
The ‘Level Map’ button cross-connects levels (typically in the same physical router). The function
is typically used to shuffle audio channels, for example, to connect AES1/2 to AES3/4.
Follow these steps to create a level mapping:
1 Select a preset source. Here, the source is CAM-14:
2 Press ‘Level Map’. The button goes bright and the ‘XY Display’ button tells you to “Select
Source Level.”
Press a level (selection) button.
3 The the ‘XY Display’ button now says “Select Dest Level.”
Press another level (selection) button.
4 At this point, the level mapping is complete.
5 You can view the mapping using an ‘Information’ button. After you view the information,
press the ‘Information’ button again to return to the X-Y display.
6 Finally, press ‘Take’. After the take, a plus sign appears in the status column next to the
mapped level. You can review the level mapping after the take.
You can create multiple level mappings. Level mappings are typically used for AES levels.
The level map mode is cancelled when the next normal take is performed involving the selected
devices.
The default button text is “Level Map” but the button can have any legend.
Menu
The button puts the NV9642 panel in menu mode and places a small menu on the LCD buttons,
that provides access to a variety of panel options.
By pressing any of the menu buttons, you may enter data (such as panel ID) or change LCD
brightness values or you can view panel data. The LCD button text varies with context in menu
mode.
See Menu Mode on page 63 for more detail.
