Secondary Modes
As a stand-alone panel, the NV9606 has no secondary modes.
When it is an NV9607 extension, the secondary modes are:
• Source preview mode — exists (in any operating mode) when you press a ‘Source Preview’
button. In source preview mode, the display shows the source you select in the ‘Preview’ col-
umn of the display. Further, in source preview mode, pressing a ‘Take’ button is required for
the completion of takes. When the panel is not in source preview mode, pressing a source
button is enough to complete a take.
• Self-test mode — where the NV9606 is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the net-
work. In this mode, you can perform certain panel tests. See Self-Test on page 38.
• Menu mode — pressing a menu button places the NV9606 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.
There is nothing in the menu that concerns operators except button brightness. An operator
may use the menu to set button brightness. Administrators and configurers may use the
menu to view or change the panel ID, or to determine the software and firmware revisions.
See the NV9607 User’s Guide for more information.
When the panel is not in setup mode or menu mode, we say it is in normal mode. “Normal”
means the panel is functioning in one of the 4 operating modes.
Button Legends
There are about 22 different button functions. Some might not be available on your panel
depending on the operating mode in which it was configured. It is possible for buttons to have
graphic or text legends that are plastic inserts placed under the clear button caps. Because the
buttons of the NV9606 are small, it is not easy to create legend inserts. There is room above the
buttons for customers to place adhesive-backed legends.
Buttons are also color-coded to a limited degree. Green represents sources. Amber represents
destinations. Those colors are used for other functions, however. High-tally (bright) buttons are
those that are selected; low-tally (dim) buttons are those that are not selected. Dark (white or
gray) buttons are those that are disabled. Red indicates that either a destination is locked or
protected or that the panel is locked.
Operating Concepts
Source Shift
Source shift applies in all modes.
Each source button can represent two sources. A ‘Source Shift’ button selects which of the two
sources the source button will select. (The concept is similar to the shift key or the ‘caps lock’ key
on a keyboard.)
A source shift button is a toggle that enables either the first or second source of source buttons.
The source shift button is low-tally when it has enabled the first source. It is high-tally when it
has enabled the second source.
A source shift button toggles all source buttons.
