User’s Guide
Take
In normal mode, a take button routes the preset source to the selected destination on selected
level or levels.
In salvo mode, a take button executes a selected salvo.
A take button is disabled (and dark) until it becomes possible for the operator to execute a take.
Undefined
An undefined button cannot be used and appears dark (unlit) on the panel. The term “unde-
fined” has meaning primarily to the configurer.
Lock, Protect, and Release
In a multi-user system, routes made by one user can be made safe from being accidentally or
maliciously change by another user.
Definitions
Owner The user ID of a panel where a lock or protect was issued.
Source lock No one can use the source.
Source protect No one but the owner can use the source.
Destination lock No one can route to the destination.
Destination protect No one but the owner can route to the destination.
Release To remove a lock or protect.
Some control panels can lock or protect both sources and destinations. However, The NV9603A
provides locks and protects for destinations only.
A forced release is when the lock or protect is removed by someone other than the owner. A
forced release can be performed:
• At any panel configured with release mode set to “forced release”.
• At any other panel with “force release” enabled.
The ‘Destination Lock’ and ‘Destination Protect’ buttons are toggles. Press the lock (or protect)
button to lock (or protect) a destination. Press the button again to release the lock (or protect).
 Note: a protect prevents others from routing to a destination; a lock prevents anyone — even
the user who issued the lock — from routing to the destination.
 You may lock a protected destination, but you cannot change a locked destination to a
protected destination directly. You must first unlock it.
Locks and Protects with Breakaway
Use this method to lock or unlock selected levels in limited X-Y mode under breakaway:
1 Optionally press ‘Source Shift’ to toggle between the source sets.
2 Optionally press a source button. The source currently routed to that destination might
already be what you want. Pressing the source performs a take.
3 Select the levels you want to lock or unlock. Selected levels are high-tally. If your panel has a
‘None/All’ button, you can use it to select either no levels or all levels.
4 Press a ‘Destination Lock’ button.
