Summary
The NV9603A
1
is a 1RU panel, slightly over 9” deep, overall. It has 2 sets of backlit function
buttons and a small display. The display has 3 distinct LED readouts each having 8 characters.
The NV9603A operates in X-Y mode.
The panel is organized as shown in figures 2-1 and 2-2:

The function buttons select sources or destinations, or perform some task such as locking a
destination. All of the function buttons are configurable. The 10 buttons at the lower left are
category buttons, by convention.
The two buttons immediately to the left of the display are scroll buttons (‘Page Up’ and ‘Page
Down’) by default. Using the scroll buttons, the operator can sequence through devices within a
category. See
Device Selection by Category on page 27.
The operator can select one of two sets of sources using a configured ‘Source Shift’ button.
Thus, every source button potentially represents 8 sources, depending on the page in use and
the state of the ‘Source Shift’ button. There is a similar ‘Destination Shift’ function.
The scroll buttons are also used when the panel is in menu mode (to change the illumination of
the buttons). See
Menu Mode on page 39.
