5. Operation
Chapter 5 provides operating instructions for the NV9616 and NV9608 control panels. It presents
these topics:
• Summary
• Operating Concepts
• Salvo Mode
• Menu Mode
• Setup Mode
This chapter is intended specifically for the NV9616 panel operator.
Summary
As an NV9616 or NV9608 operator, you will be confronted initially with a relatively complex
panel
—16 (or 8) LCD button units, 24 backlit function buttons, and 2 backlit scroll buttons.
The panel’s function buttons can have arbitrary legends (using plastic inserts under the button
caps). A button’s legend should indicate its function. Some buttons can be applied differently in
other modes (such as menu mode). Operators and configurers will have to communicate about the
meaning of the buttons.
The LCD buttons show the status of takes (pending or completed) under normal circumstances. The
LCD buttons present information or menu items in certain cases.
At any particular time, some of the buttons are enabled or disabled. Some are high-tally; some are
low-tally; and some might be undefined. Active function buttons are of two colors, green and
amber. Active LCD buttons are green, amber, yellow, or red. (Red indicates a lock or a protect.)
S Please refer to the NV9000-SE Utilities User’s Guide (or the NV9000-SE Utilities help files) if
you are unfamiliar with the concepts used in this chapter.
Modes of Operation
The panels can operate in one of 2 modes:
• X-Y mode.
• Multidestination mode.
The panels can be configured so that you can select either mode.
