NV9603A Panel Description
The NV9603A is a revision of the NV9603. The NV9603 has been obsolete for several years.
NV9000-SE Utilities means the NV9603A wherever it says NV9603.
The NV9603A is a 1RU panel. 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 only.
An equivalent virtual panel
—
the NV9603AV
—
is available.
The function buttons select sources or destinations, or perform some task such as locking a
destination. 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 by default. Using the
scroll buttons, the operator can sequence through devices within a category.
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).
At the rear are power, serial, and network connectors:
Function Buttons
The NV9603A has an array of 30 function buttons on the left and 4 function buttons on the right.
Each button has three operational levels: high and low tally (green or amber), and off. (The
button material is actually white or gray.)
The function buttons each have clear plastic keycaps under which you may place plastic inserts
for button legends. Buttons of the NV9603AV (virtual panel) have automatically generated
button legends.
