Summary
The NV9604 is a 1RU control panel, slightly over 9” deep, overall. It has 32 backlit function
buttons.
The NV9604 can operate either by itself as a stand-alone panel or as a extension of an NV9602
control panel. By itself, it can operate in one of two modes. As an extension to an NV9602, it can
operate in any of the 4 modes configured for that particular NV9602. See
following.
The panel is organized as shown in figures 2-1 and 2-2:

When the panel is stand-alone, the function buttons either select sources or select destinations.
When the panel is used as an NV9602 extension, the buttons can execute a small set of addi-
tional functions. (When the panel is used as an extension of an NV9602) physical source
selection buttons represent one of two sets of sources. Physical destination selection buttons (if
present) represent one of two sets of destinations. An operator can toggle between the two
sets.
At the rear are power, serial, and network connectors:
