Glossary
form functions such as (1) forced release on a control panel that is configured for normal release or
(2) changing the ID of a control panel.
Port A port is the physical connection on a router. A port can only be an input port or an output port.
Primary level The primary level is the virtual level on a device with the lowest display index in the level set. Note
that virtual levels that do not exist on a device cannot be the primary level for that device.
Salvo A salvo is a stored group of commands that can be recalled and executed at a NV9000 control
panel.
Source/
Destination The term “source device” is used interchangeably with “source” and the term “destination device”
is used interchangeably with “destination.” A source is a device that is connected to one or more
input ports. A destination is a device that is connected to one or more output ports. An example of
such a device would be a monitor.
A device can be both a source and destination. An example of such a device is a VTR.
Suffix Suffixes are an optional extension to the category/index device selection mechanism. A device can
be selected in two steps:
1 Selecting a category
2 Keying in a sequence of suffixes.
Each suffix consists of 1–4 alphanumeric characters. The NV9000 router control system allows up
to 8 suffixes in a single device selection.
Synchronous As it applies to the AES routers, “synchronous” means switched in relation to the sync obtained
from a video reference signal. The AES routers perform certain functions when in “synchronous”
mode, namely (1) outputting an AES stream at 48kHz, and (2) switching mono channels.
System admin-
istrator The system administrator is the person responsible for installing, configuring, and maintaining a
router control system.
Tally (1) High or low button illumination.
(2) Tally interface to be defined.
Virtual level Virtual levels allow the system administrator to define a single physical router level as multiple lev-
els. Within a physical level, any port can be mapped to any virtual level. For example, an AES
matrix could be divided into AES 1/2 and AES 3/4 virtual levels.
X-Y (mode) A mode on a control NV9000 control panel that switches one destination at a time, in contrast to
multi-destination mode. In X-Y mode, some panels can display the virtual levels for the selected
destination. Operators using those panels can perform breakaway level selection and level map-
ping.
