User’s Guide
Configurers can define ‘Selection’ buttons that select a level during a breakaway setup. (Config-
urers must do so if the operator is to make such selections.)
Scrolling is necessary when a list of items — for instance, source devices — exceeds the number
of buttons available for the items. Panels that use multi-destination mode will probably require
‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ buttons.
Alphanumeric Display
The 4×22 alphanumeric display provides feedback for the operators as they press buttons to
execute takes and other operations. The panel functions in either X-Y or multi-destination
mode.
Because the display has 4 rows, operators might need to scroll the display frequently to see
additional information. (The up and down buttons, right next to the display, are for scrolling the
display.)
The display has 2 columns:
• Level/Dest.
In X-Y mode, this column identifies the levels of the currently selected destination. That des-
tination is identified as the first entry in the column.
In MD mode, the ‘Level/Dest’ column presents all the MD destinations defined in the
NV9642 configuration.
• Status.
The status column indicates what source was routed to a destination.
In X-Y mode, the status column represents either the levels of a source or the levels of multi-
ple sources under breakaway.
In MD mode, the status column represents the sources routed to each of the destinations in
the ‘Level/Dest’ column.
In X-Y mode, the display uses its top row to show the selected destination. Therefore, in X-Y
mode, the display scrolls 3 lines at a time.
In multi-destination (MD) mode, the display uses all 4 lines to show MD destinations. In MD
mode, the display scrolls 4 lines at a time.
The display fields can show the names of the name set or the system mnemonics.
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.
See GPIO on page 197.
Modes of Operation
The primary modes of operation are:
• X-Y mode — individual control of all router levels. Choose a destination, optionally choose
desired breakaway levels, choose a source, and press ‘Take’ to complete a desired route.
• Multi-destination mode — lets you control multiple destinations. The LCD buttons display
destinations and sources. You can scroll through destination lists using the ‘Page Up’ and
‘Page Down’ buttons. Select a destination using selection buttons, choose a source, and
