8 Click Execute. The take is performed. Click Cancel to leave the dialog without performing
any takes.
9 The affected entries in the ‘Status’ column of the displayed crosspoint matrix show the sta-
tus of each output switched.
Keep in mind that for the NV8500 hybrid routers, some video and audio ports in the list do not
actually exist. Takes to or from these ports are “no-ops.” For example, the 9th port of any disem-
bedder card is vacant. The 16 audio ports that would be associated with it do not exist.
Incrementing Takes Tab
Using the ‘Incrementing Takes’ tab, you can perform several automated take sequences that can
run simultaneously and for an indefinite period. These sequences are useful for testing.
This is a sample of the ‘Incremental Takes’ table.
In the Output/Destination section, you can indicate the starting output and whether a take
sequence increments or decrements from that point. If you choose ‘None’, the output for the
takes does not vary.
The ‘Input/Source’ section has the same controls as the ‘Output/Destination’ section.
The ‘Auto Timer’ section allows you to set the interval between takes (in seconds) and to start
the automated sequence. (You can step a sequence manually as long as you do not click ‘Start’.)
The ‘Level’ section has a drop-down menu in which you can select a level on which to perform a
take sequence.
The ‘Perform a Take’ section has a ‘take’ button with which you can manually step through the
take sequence (as long as the sequence is not running on a timer). When you click the take
button, MRC gives you the result next to the button:
Incremental takes let you to perform one or more takes output-by-output and input-by-input.
Each take can be performed manually (using the take button) or automatically using the timer.
