Control Panels
NV9606
The serial port is for local diagnostics, as it is for all control panels.
The NV9606 uses external PS0001 power supplies. One will suffice. Two provide redundancy.
The GPIO connector supports the panel’s GPIO functions: 4 outputs and 8 inputs. See
Function Buttons
The NV9606 has 2 rows of 34 function buttons. The total is 68 function buttons. The set of
buttons differ in each of the 4 operating modes. (See
, following.)
Physical source buttons represent one of two sets of sources. Physical destination buttons (if
present) represent one of two sets of destinations. The panel can be configured with a ‘Source
Shift’ button that toggles between the two source pages and a ‘Destination Shift’ button that
toggles between the two destination pages.
Each button has three operational levels: high and low tally (green or amber), and off. (Their
material is actually white or light gray.)
The function buttons each have clear plastic keycaps under which you may place plastic inserts
for button legends. Buttons of the NV9606V (virtual panel) have automatically generated button
legends.
Tally Interface
At the rear of the panel is a DB25 connector that provides 8 tally inputs and 4 tally outputs. (The
outputs are solid state relay outputs.) Both inputs and outputs are optically isolated.

Modes of Operation
By itself, the NV9606 operates in a very limited X-Y mode.
As an NV9607 extension, the NV9606 can operate in any of the modes configured for the
NV9607.

Single-Destination Mode with Breakaway
•
The panel’s set of button functions varies with the mode.
The modes (or behavioral models) are determined at configuration for both the NV9606 and the
NV9607. The operator cannot switch between different modes.
Limited X-Y Mode
In limited X-Y mode, takes occur from a single source to a single destination (selectable).
Pressing a source button completes a take unless the corresponding NV9607 has a ‘Source
Preview’ button and it is active (high-tally).
Breakaway is possible in this mode if the panel has level buttons. Level buttons selected the
levels on which the take is to occur. Takes occur on all levels when either no levels are selected
or when all levels are selected.
