Button Types
These are the button types available for NV9607 configurations:
Type
Modes Description
Broadcast
X
With respect to the machine control level, the button enables a broad-
cast take to an additional controlled device, after a broadcast route has
been initiated with a “source is master” control-level take to the first
controlled device.
The button definition has no fields to configure.
A broadcast button is useful in dubbing applications or when a
backup (redundant) device is in use. See
See also the
button, following.
Chop
All
When a chop function is supported by a router, the button is a toggle
that enables and disables rapid switching of the selected destination
device between the current source and the preset source. This chop
function is used to test system timing.
The button definition has no fields to configure.
Default state
S, B, X
The button returns the panel to its most recent power-up state. That is
called the default state.
The button definition has no fields to configure.
Destination
X
The button selects a destination. The destination name appears in the
‘Destination’ display. The destination is the target of an upcoming
take, which will route a source to that destination.
When you assign a destination button, two drop-down menus appear:
‘Destination Device 1’ and ‘Destination Device 2’. These correspond to
the two destination pages. If there is a ‘Destination Shift’ button on
the panel, the operator can switch between the two pages. When the
first page is selected, pressing the button selects device 1. When the
second page is selected, pressing the button selects device 2.
Destination
Lock
S, B, X
The button 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.
The button definition has no fields to configure.
The NV9607 provides no explicit indication, during operation, whether
a destination is locked or unlocked.
