User’s Guide
The buttons display a menu if the operator presses a menu button. When the operator make a
menu selection, viewable data are displayed on the buttons.
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 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
NV9647V 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 either the names of a name set or the system mnemonics.
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 buttons display desti-
nations and sources. Select a destination using selection buttons, choose a source, and
repeat for all desired routes. Then press ‘Take’. Takes are “all level,” and breakaways cannot be
performed.
• Single-destination mode.
Single-destination” mode is not a distinct mode, but it is a mode on some other panels and
can be simulated on the NV9647V.
