Control Panels

NV9607

An NV9606 control panel can operate as an extension of the NV9607. That is, an NV9607 and an
NV9606 together form a larger panel with more buttons.

An equivalent virtual panel

the NV9607V

is available.

The NV9607 can operate in one of 4 modes:

Limited X-Y mode.

Single-destination (SD) mode.

Single-destination mode with breakaway.

Multi-destination (MD) mode.

See

Modes of Operation

, following.

The function buttons are configurable. They select sources or destinations, or they execute func-
tions. Physical source selection buttons represent one of two sets of sources. Physical
destination selection buttons (if present) represent one of two sets of destinations. An operator
can toggle between the two sets.

The sets of functions differ in the different operating modes.

At the rear of the panel are power, serial control, Ethernet, and GPIO connectors:

You connect the NV9607 to the NV9000 system using the Ethernet connector.

The serial port is for local diagnostics, as it is for all control panels.

The NV9607 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

page 197.

Function Buttons

The NV9607 has 4 rows of function buttons. The upper two rows have 24 buttons. The lower two
rows have 34 buttons. The total is 116 function buttons. The set of button functions differ in
each of the 4 operating modes. (See

Modes of Operation

, 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, amber, and sometimes red),
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 NV9607V (virtual panel), however, have automatically gener-
ated button legends.
