Case 4 — Multi-Destination Mode
Takes in multi-destination mode are all-level. Source buttons in multi-destination mode specify
the destination to which the source is routed. Follow these steps:
6 Optionally press ‘Source Preview’ to turn on source preview mode.
7 If source preview mode is off, press a source button to complete the take. (Optionally press
‘Source Shift’ to toggle between the source sets.) The ‘Status’ field of the display shows the
source you chose and the ‘Destination’ field of the display shows the destination assigned to
that source button. You might have to scroll the display to locate the destination (and its
source).
8 If source preview mode is on, press a source button. (Optionally press ‘Source Shift’ to toggle
between the source sets.) The ‘Preview’ field of the display shows the source you chose and
the take button turns red. If that is the correct source, press a ‘Take’ button. If it is not the cor-
rect source, you can press another source and then press a ‘Take’ button. You might have to
scroll the display to locate the destination (and its pending source).
The way the source buttons on the panel are organized is important to knowing which destina-
tion is assigned to any particular source button. See
Multi-Destination Operations , next.
Multi-Destination Operations
A panel that is configured in multi-destination mode has source buttons that represent 2
sources and a destination. Pressing a source button selects the source and the destination and
performs an immediate take
— to the destination assigned to the source button. (A source shift
button switches between the two sources of the source buttons.) There are no destination
buttons.
Potentially, all 116 buttons of a NV9607 could be source buttons, each having a unique destina-
tion. Thus, at that extreme, a panel in multi-destination mode could represent 116 destinations
and give operators the choice of two sources for each destination.
A more typical multi-destination configuration will present fewer destinations, organized in
button clusters on the panel. This organization, for example, provides 12 destinations and up to
16 sources available for each one, with 20 buttons assigned to other functions:
