Panel Features
All NV9000 control panels, including software panels, share some common features. Following is
a description of some of those features.
Buttons
Some panels have backlit buttons. Generally those are 0.5” square, and appear in two or three
colors, green, amber and sometimes red. These buttons can be bright (high-tally), dim (low-
tally) or off.
The backlit buttons have clear plastic caps under which you can insert a plastic button legend.
Generally, green represents a source or a source function and amber represents a destination or
a destination function. However, amber and green can represent other functions too.
Some panels, in particular the newer panels such as the NV9640, have LCD buttons. These are
larger buttons with LCDs built into their face. Because the LCDs are 64x32 pixel matrices, the
buttons are dynamically re-legendable and show up to 3 lines of 8 characters. The LCD buttons
can appear in 7 colors, red, green, blue, purple, amber, yellow, or grey, and in 3 levels: high-tally,
low-tally, and off.
The buttons of virtual panels emulate the buttons of the matching hardware panels. These
buttons all use color and have dynamic legends.
Displays
Some hardware panels have alphanumeric displays — some larger, some small. Some panels
have no display.
The larger displays have 8 lines of 42 characters. The smaller displays have 4 lines of text. Some
other panels have limited display capability: from one to four 8-character LED readouts. Still
other panels emulate a display on their LCD buttons.
