Secondary Modes
Additional but secondary modes of panel operation are:
• Setup mode — where the panel is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the network. In
this mode, you can preset the panel ID and perform a few diagnostic tasks.
• Salvo mode — pressing a salvo button places the panel in salvo mode, where it is expected that
the operator will choose a salvo on the LCD button, possibly scrolling to find the salvo. (The
duration of a salvo is indeterminate, but usually short.)
• Menu mode — pressing a menu button places the panel in “menu” mode. In menu mode, the
buttons lose their normal functions and become part of a menu that changes as needed during
menu operation.
• Source mode — pressing a source mode button places the panel temporarily in source mode,
where the operator can use category and suffix buttons to select a source.
• Destination mode — pressing a destination mode button places the panel temporarily in destina-
tion mode, where the operator can use category and suffix buttons to select a destination.
• Hold mode — when hold mode is active in X-Y mode, a breakaway level selection remains in
effect until the operator turns hold mode off. In MD mode, when hold mode is active, the oper-
ator may select multiple destinations.
• Save preset mode and load preset mode — pressing a ‘Save Preset’ button places the panel in a
temporary mode in which you can name and save a preset selection. Pressing a ‘Load Preset’
button places the panel in a temporary mode in which you can select a saved preset selection.
When the panel is not in setup mode, salvo mode, or menu mode, we say it is in normal mode.
Other Panel Functions
The NV9616 and NV9608 can be configured to perform the following additional functions:
• Previous source and free source.
• System salvos and local salvos.
• Lock/protect/release for destinations.
• Multiple- and single-level breakaway.

Additional Control Panel Features
The panel supports gang switching in multi-destination mode. The operator may route single or
multiple sources to multiple destinations in a single operation.
The LCD buttons can be green (for sources), amber (for destinations), yellow, or red. Each button
provides three levels of tally: off, low, and high. Through the menu, high tally can be set at high or
medium brightness and low tally can be set at low or medium brightness, where high tally is con-
strained to be brighter than low tally.
The panel’s 24 function buttons and two scroll buttons are backlit. The buttons can be green or
amber. Each button provides three levels of tally: off, low, and high. (You can adjust the levels of
