Panel Organization Modes of Operation Other NV9603A Functions

The NV9603A1 is a 1RU panel, slightly over 9” deep, overall. It has 2 sets of backlit function buttons and a small display. The display has 3 distinct LED readouts each having 8 characters.

The NV9603A operates in X-Y mode.

The panel is organized as shown in figures 2-1 and 2-2:

Fig. 2-1: NV9603A Front

The function buttons select sources or destinations, or perform some task such as locking a destination. All of the function buttons are configurable. The 10 buttons at the lower left are category buttons, by convention.

The two buttons immediately to the left of the display are scroll buttons (‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’) by default. Using the scroll buttons, the operator can sequence through devices within a category. See Device Selection by Category

The operator can select one of two sets of sources using a configured ‘Source Shift’ button. Thus, every source button potentially represents 8 sources, depending on the page in use and the state of the ‘Source Shift’ button. There is a similar ‘Destination Shift’ function.

The scroll buttons are also used when the panel is in menu mode (to change the illumination of the buttons). See Menu Mode

Introduction

Ethernet Serial port (RS-232)Power (AC)

Panel Organization

At the rear are power, serial, and network connectors:

Fig. 2-2: NV9603A Rear

The ports labeled 10base2 and RS-422 are non-operational and are covered. Only the serial port and the Ethernet port are available.

 The AC connector has a compartment in which you can find a spare fuse.

(The Ethernet port is 10baseT. The system controller supports 10baseT as well as 100baseT.)

Panel Organization

Function Buttons

The NV9603A has an array of 30 function buttons on the left and 4 function buttons on the right.

Each button has three operational levels: high and low tally (green or amber), and off. Operators can adjust the low tally levels in increments of 10% using the panel’s menu. Buttons that are turned off are said to be “dark.” (Physically, they are actually white or gray.)

 Generally, green represents a source or a source function and amber represents a destina-

tion or a destination function.

The function buttons each have clear plastic keycaps under which you may place plastic inserts for button legends. It is a simple matter to change button legends.

Alphanumeric Display

The display has 3 display fields.

Display Fields

The display has 3 fields of 8 characters:

• Status.

The ‘Status’ field always shows the source that was routed to the currently selected destination, which is identified in the ‘Destination’ field.

• Preset.

The ‘Preset’ field shows the source that is pending a take. After the take, this source becomes the current source and appears in the ‘Status’ field.

• Destination.

The ‘Dest’ field shows the current destination.

The ‘Status’, ‘Preset’, and ‘Dest’ fields can show either names belonging to a name set or system names depending on (1) the state of the ‘Name Set Toggle’ button (if the panel has one), (2) the default name set (3) the existence of name sets in the NV9000 configuration.

Flags

When a destination is in breakaway, the ‘Source’ field indicates the breakaway with an asterisk in its eighth character position.

 The asterisk will obscure the last character of the source name if the name has 8 characters.

Modes of Operation

The NV9603A operates in X-Y mode.

Additional but secondary modes of panel operation are:

• Salvo mode — pressing a salvo button places the NV9603A in salvo mode where the opera-

tor may select and execute a salvo from a salvo list.

• Setup mode — where the NV9603A is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the net-

work. In this mode, you can preset the NV9603A’s panel ID and perform a few diagnostic tasks.

• Menu mode — pressing a menu button places the NV9603A in “menu” mode. In menu

mode, the buttons lose their normal functions and become part of a menu that changes as needed during menu operation.

When the panel is not in setup mode or menu mode, we say it is in normal mode.

Installation

Follow these steps to install a NV9603A control panel:

1 Mount, and secure, the panel in the rack.

The NV9603A is designed to mount in a standard 19” rack. Rack-mounting is not a requirement.

2 We assume that you have an Ethernet switch connected to the “Panel and Router Network”

port of your system controller. Connect an Ethernet cable from that switch to the RJ-45 port at the rear of the NV9603A.

3 Connect power.

Installing Software and Documentation

This document is available through the Grass Valley web site.

You must use NV9000-SE Utilities to configure the NV9603A control panel. Contact Grass Valley if you need to obtain the latest version of this NV9000 configuration software.

You may use the Panel IP Configuration Utility if you want to your NV9603A to have a static IP address (with respect to the system controller) or to use DHCP. The panel, as it comes from the factory, defaults to DHCP.

Initialization

Before your system controller can communicate with an NV9603A, you must give it a panel ID. Follow these steps for each NV9603A you are installing:

1 Power up the NV9603A. Do not connect its Ethernet cable. (Disconnect it if it is connected.)

2 Press the setup button. The panel now allows you to enter the panel ID using buttons at the

After a few seconds, the display will show ‘ACQ IP’ at the top and show the panel’s current panel ID. The top right button is high-tally green:

We call that the “setup” button while the panel is disconnected from the network.

left that function as a numeric keypad. The numbers of the keypad a printed on the panel. They range from 0 (at the left) to 9:

Enter the panel ID using the keypad. Then press the setup button again.

Testing

0 Cancel

NV9603A

User’s Guide

3 The panel displays a confirmation message:

Press the left-most button to cancel your entry; press the button to the right of it to save your entry.

4 Press the setup button once again and continue to press the setup button until the panel

displays ‘ACQ IP’ once again as in step 1.

5 After you enter the panel ID, reconnect the Ethernet cable. The system controller will detect

your panel in a few seconds. (All panel IDs must be distinct.)

You can now prepare an NV9603A configuration in NV9000-SE Utilities and upload the configuration to the NV9603A. You need the panel ID to create a NV9603A configuration. When you upload the configuration, the panel ID you entered in NV9000-SE Utilities designates the actual panel to which the upload will occur. If no actual panel has that ID, the upload cannot occur.

A panel test function is available when the NV9603A is disconnected from the system controller. Run the test to determine the health of your NV9603A. See Setup Mode

on page 42 for detail.

You can also view the software version numbers under setup mode.

These are points to consider after you install your NV9603A control panel(s):

1 Do the buttons illuminate? When an NV9603A powers up, one or more of its buttons are

supposed to turn green or amber. Did it pass the panel test mentioned above?

2 When the NV9603A powers up and it is connected to the system controller, it should initial-

ize completely. (That takes a few seconds.) The NV9000 system should load whatever configuration exists for that panel and the buttons appropriate for its configuration should light.

If you continue to see “No Server,” “ACQ IP,” or “Locating Network,” you have a problem. Reboot everything and try again.

 The NV9603A, by default, acquires its IP address through DHCP on the system controller’s

panel/router network. You can use the Panel IP Configuration Utility to force the panel to have a static IP address.

If (in setup mode) you do not see your designated panel ID in the ‘Preset’ display field, you have either not initialized the panel or no configuration has been created for your panel in NV9000-SE Utilities.

3 Is the system controller actually running? With the typical noise levels in a facility, it can

sometimes be difficult to tell. Use the ‘System’ pages of NV9000-SE Utilities to make the determination.

4 Is NV9000-SE Utilities installed and operating? If so, can you upload a configuration to the

specified panel?

5 Does the configuration actually work? Is it useful? Can the operator perform takes and per-

form other operations?

Adding a Panel to an NV9000 Configuration

You must create configurations for the NV9603A using NV9000-SE Utilities. We assume that you are familiar enough with NV9000-SE Utilities that you can understand the following material. It is not difficult material, but some of the concepts might not be familiar to everyone.

It takes only a few seconds to add a new panel configuration.

Configuration

Adding a Panel to an NV9000 Configuration

After launching NV9000-SE Utilities, choose ‘Control Panels’ from the Configuration pane in the navigation area. The ‘Control Panels’ configuration page appears:

Click ‘Add Control Panel’ at the bottom of the configuration page. The ‘Add Control Panel’ page appears:

Choose “NV9603”

from the ‘Type’ field. In the ID field, enter the panel ID you assigned to the panel while it was in setup mode. (You can change the panel ID in NV9000-SE Utilities.) Give a name to the panel in the name field and select a user.

When you are creating a panel configuration you have 3 options. These options are presented in the ‘Configuration Options’ area:

1 Make a copy of an existing configuration file, giving it a new file name.

2 Use an existing configuration file. (This allows several panels to share a single configuration.)

3 Create an entirely new configuration file.

1. This means the NV9603A.

This is the default NV9603A panel configuration page in NV9000-SE Utilities:

Fig. 4-1: NV9603A Configuration Page (Default)

After you configure buttons the appearance of the panel buttons will have changed. The panel buttons on this page will show legends, determined from the button type assigned to the button. (The panel’s actual buttons have clear plastic keycaps that you can remove and insert button legends, graphic or text, of your own design.)

At the bottom of the page are two important configuration buttons: ‘Revert to Saved’ and ‘Save’. The ‘Save’ button commits modifications you have just made. The ‘Revert to Saved’ button restores the last saved version of the panel configuration, canceling any changes you just made.

Regions of the Configuration Page

There are 3 main regions:

• A graphic representation of the NV9603A panel.

Configurers must click a button “proxy” to select the button for configuration.

• Button definitions.

In this section, configurers make button assignments, using its pull-down menus and text fields. See Button Definitions

• Panel options.

In this section, configurers may specify the behavioral characteristics of the panel. See Panel

Configuration Tasks

The person configuring an NV9603A panel will want to consider how best to use the buttons to support the devices and routers in the router control system at hand. Trade-offs must be made.

In support of that effort, the configurer will do the following:

• Select panel options.

• Assign functions to buttons.

We have no strong recommendations for button types on your panel, but it is likely that a ‘Take’ button will be needed. It is also probable that you will need 10 category buttons for selection of sources and destinations by category.

Source Shift and Destination Shift

The NV9603A provides 2 sets of sources and 2 sets of destinations. Operators use a ‘Source Shift’ button to switch between the 2 pages of sources and use a ‘Destination Shift’ button to switch between the 2 pages of destinations.

When you are configuring a source button, the button definition region includes fields for ‘Source 1’ and ‘Source 2’. When you are configuring a destination button, the button definition region includes fields for ‘Destination 1’ and ‘Destination 2’.

Commitment Buttons

Two buttons at the bottom of the configuration page are self-explanatory and appear on most configuration pages:

• Revert to Saved. Press this button if you want to discard any recent changes you have made.

• Save. Press this button to commit all your recent changes.

Neither of these actions is reversible.

Panel Options

The panel options section, at the right of the configuration page, has two parts: drop-down menus and checkbox options. These are the drop-down menus:

Configuration

Panel Options

These are its drop-down menu options:

Release Mode Normal Release This panel can release “locks” and “protects” set by the designated

user (at this panel or any other panel).

Force Release This panel can release locks and protects set by any user.

Default Destination

Preset Monitor None The preset source video is not sent to a monitor.

Status Monitor None The current source video is not sent to a monitor.

Data Routing Mode

None After a reset, the panel has no default destination and displays no

destination device. (This is not recommended.)

‹device› The panel uses the specified device as the destination after a reset.

(The ‘Default State’ button also returns the panel to this destination.)

‹device› The preset source video for the selected destination appears on

the specified monitor (device).

‹device› The current source video for the selected destination appears on

the specified monitor (device).

Automatic If a control (data) level is involved in the route, make the route on

the control level even if the control port is in use on the source or destination device.

Semi-automatic (recommended)

Manual A take on the data level must be performed manually as a break-

If the control port is in use on the source or destination device, take all levels except control and allow the user to perform the control level route by pressing ‘Take’ a second time. If ‘Take’ is not pressed again, the route is cancelled.

If the control port is not in use, the control level take occurs automatically.

away on the control level. The control level will never switch as part of a multi-level take.

Salvo List [none] Salvo lists appear in the drop-down menu. A salvo list, as you might

think, is a list of salvos. The salvos in the list you choose are the salvos the operator can choose in salvo mode.

Salvo lists are defined, in NV9000-SE Utilities, under the ‘Views’ pane, using the ‘Salvo Lists’ table and the ‘Salvo List Details’ table.

The NV9000 configuration might not have any salvo lists, in which case ‘None’ is the only entry in the drop-down menu.

Default Name Set System Name A list of “name sets” appears in the drop-down menu. The name

sets can be defined under the System Management pane of NV9000-SE Utilities. Choose ‘System Name’ in this list if you do not want, or do not care about, alternate device names. Do not choose ‘System Name’ if you are configuring any ‘Name Set Toggle’ buttons.

Checkbox Options

The checkbox options section is just below the panel options section, enclosed in the same region:

A check in the box enables the option. Clearing the checkbox disables the option.

By default, all the check box options are clear.

The following items are the checkbox options:

• User-Programmable ID.

Allows the Panel ID to be changed locally at the control panel (in menu mode).

• Source Master Default.

Makes a control-level source the controlling device (or master device) by default. Otherwise, the destination is the master, by default. (The option is specifically for use with NVISION series machine control routers.)

“Source is master” is used for duplication, or broadcast routing, on a machine control level. “Destination is master” is for machine-to-machine editing. If you do not select the “source master default” option, you can place a ‘Source is Master’ button on the panel.

 Note: a ‘Source is Master’ button is a toggle that reverses the direction of data routing

for devices used in data level (machine control) takes.

• Hide sources not configured on this panel.

Causes the names of source devices that are not presently configured for this particular panel to be effectively hidden. When another panel changes the source to one not configured for this panel, this panel displays asterisks instead.

• Use continuous scrolling.

If you check this box, the panel will scroll source or destination devices continuously (or indefinitely). That is, the display will show the first device in the list following the last when you are scrolling up, and will show the last device after the first if you are scrolling down.

If you leave this box unchecked, the panel will stop scrolling when it reaches either the beginning or end of the list.

This option does not affect scrolling of salvos when the panel is in salvo mode or levels when the panel is in level mode.

Configuration

Button Definitions

There are three classes of button functions:

• Dedicated functions, such as ‘Default State’ or ‘Chop’.

• Variable functions, such as ‘Source’ or ‘Destination’.

• Special functions, such as ‘Menu’ and ‘Salvo’.

Note

During configuration, certain button fields contain a colon (:) and number after the data in the field. The number is the record ID of the object in the NV9000 configuration database. The record IDs can be ignored but might be of some use when the configurer is searching for items in the configuration database.

Button Specification

The button definition section configures the button you have selected in the image of the NV9603A:

When you choose a button type, additional drop-down menus can appear, depending on the button type, allowing you to further specify the button’s behavior. Available options and selections vary from button type to button type.

Button Types

These are the button types available for NV9603A configurations:

Type Descript ion

Broadcast On the data (machine control) level, the button enables a broadcast take to an

additional controlled device, after a broadcast route has been initiated with a “source is master” control-level take to the first controlled device. The button definition has no fields to configure. A broadcast button is useful in dubbing applications or when a backup (redundant) device is in use. See Broadcast Routes See also the Source Master

Category A category button has 3 functions:

button, following.

• Select a source category and initiate device selection for that category.

• Select a destination category and initiate device selection for that category.

• During the process of device selection, append a suffix to the pending

device name. A category button can provide any or all of these functions. When you assign a category button, 3 additional drop-down menus appear: ‘Source Category’, ‘Destination Category’, and ‘Suffix’. A category button can represent a suffix. Once a category is selected, operators press suffix buttons to select a device within the category. Not all category buttons necessarily select categories and not all category buttons represent suffixes. If your category button does not represent a suffix, select ‘None’ in the ‘Suffix’ field. If your category button does not represent a source category, select ‘None’ in the source field. If your category button does not represent a destination category, select ‘None’ in the destination field. Category buttons are affected by source mode and destination mode. Only source categories are available in source mode; only destination categories are available in destination mode.

on page 37.

Chop When a chop function is supported by a router, the button is a toggle that

enables and disables rapid switching of the selected destination device between the current source and the preset source. This chop function is used to test system timing. The button definition has no fields to configure.

Clear The button reverts to the most recent preset. You may think of this as a “back-

space key.” During category device selection, it erases the suffixes you entered under category select in reverse order.

Destination The button selects a destination. The destination name appears in the ‘Destina-

tion’ display. The destination is the target of an upcoming take, which will route a source to that destination. When you assign a destination button, two drop-down menus appear: ‘Level Set Filter’ and ‘Destination Device’. Select the device for this button from the list that appears in the ‘Destination Device’ field. The button is not available in multi-destination mode.

Destination Lock

The button sets or removes a “lock” on the current destination device. The lock can be removed only by the user (at this panel or at another) that originally set the lock, or by a panel that has “Force Release” enabled. The button definition has no fields to configure. The NV9603A provides no explicit indication, during operation, whether a destination is locked or unlocked. This button is available, but does not operate, in multi-destination mode. It is present on the configuration page as a future feature.

Destination Protect

The button sets or removes a “protect” on the current destination device. The protect can be removed only by the user that originally set the protect, or by a panel that has “Force Release” enabled.

Note: a protect prevents others from routing to a destination; a lock prevents anyone

— even the user who issued the lock — from routing to the destination.

The button definition has no fields to configure. The NV9603A provides no explicit indication, during operation, whether a destination is locked or unlocked. This button is available, but does not operate, in multi-destination mode. It is present on the configuration page as a future feature.

Destination Mode

The button places the panel in destination mode, in which category selection buttons select destination categories. If the panel is not in destination mode, it is in source mode.

Destination Shift

The button toggles between the first and second sets of destinations. The button definition has no fields to configure. The button affects the operation of any destination button. Destination buttons represent two destinations. One belongs to one destination set and the other belongs to the other destination set.

Free Source The button selects a pre-defined phantom device that can be used to release or

“free” devices on the data (machine control) level. A free source is also used with tielines to free the tieline for others to use. The free source is defined in the Level Set Details page of NV9000-SE Utilities. The button definition has no fields to configure. The free source button must be used in conjunction with machine control router(s). Otherwise, it fails with an ‘Inv Src’ message briefly appearing in the ‘Status’ field of the display. This button is available, but does not operate, in multi-destination mode. It is present on the configuration page as a future feature.

NV9603A

User’s Guide

Type Descript ion

Level The button selects a level.

The button definition has one field to configure: the level. (Do not choose ‘None’ for the level.) Your panel can have multiple level buttons, one for each level you want the operator to control. The operator selects multiple levels for a breakaway and then presses a source to complete the take. When all levels are deselected, or when all levels are selected, a take is “alllevel.” When one or more level buttons are selected, a take occurs on just those levels. The level buttons for selected levels are high-tally.

 When the operator first selects a destination, all levels for that destination

are automatically selected. If the operator presses any level button when all

levels are selected, the result is that all other levels become deselected and

that level remains selected.

 If your panel does not have level buttons that represent all levels of a desti-

nation, it is impossible to reselect all levels after deselecting some levels.

The remedy is to reselect the destination. Doing so causes the pending take

to become all-level once again.

Menu This button puts the NV9603A panel in menu mode and displays a menu that

provides access to certain panel functions. Without the button, the operator has no access to the menu functions. By pressing certain buttons, the operator makes menu selections and may enter data (such as panel ID) or change button brightness values. When the panel is in menu mode, the menu button cycles through the functions of the menu. See Menu Mode

on page 39.

The button definition has no fields to configure.

 Configurers should not locate the menu button on any of the buttons used

to change the illumination or to change the panel ID. To view those loca-

Name Set Togg le

tions, see Panel ID

The button toggles the panel between its default name set and the “system name” set. One or the other becomes the active name set.

on page 40 and Button Illumination on page 41.

The button definition has no fields to configure. If the default name set is the system name set, the button would be a no-op. Therefore configurers should not create a ‘Name Set Toggle’ button if the default name set is ‘System Names’. The status, preset, or destination displays use the active name set

— either the

default name set (aliases) or the system name set. However, that when the panel is displaying aliases, and a device does not have an alias, the panel displays the system name.

Configuration

Button Definitions

Type Descript ion

Page Down The button scrolls down through the device list of the currently selected

category. The device selected appears in the ‘Preset’ field of the display.

 The term “page” does not have any meaning here.

‘Page Down’ moves to the next lower device in the category’s device list. (Example: if the current device is CAM_4, the next lower device would probably be CAM_3, subject to the device definitions in the NV9000 configuration.) Scrolling devices is possibly only when a category selection is in progress. Whether the list wraps around at the beginning or end is governed by the ‘Use Continuous Scrolling’ panel option. The button definition has no fields to configure.

Page Up The button scrolls up through the device list of the currently selected category.

The device selected appears in the ‘Preset’ field of the display.

 The term “page” does not have any meaning here.

‘Page Up’ moves to the next higher device in the category’s device list. (Example: if the current device is CAM_3, the next higher device would probably be CAM_4, subject to the device definitions in the NV9000 configuration.) Scrolling devices is possibly only when a category selection is in progress. Whether the list wraps around at the beginning or end is governed by the ‘Use Continuous Scrolling’ panel option. The button definition has no fields to configure.

Panel Lock The button prevents accidental changes to the panel settings, especially router

crosspoints. When the panel is locked, the button array becomes blank except for the Panel Lock button which becomes high tally amber. Pressing the panel lock button again reverts the panel to its previous state. The button definition has no fields to configure.

Previous Source

The button presets the previously routed source to the currently selected destination. The operator must next press ‘Take’ to restore the previous route. This function is useful when an operator makes a route in error. The button definition has no fields to configure. The button does not restore the previous destination. If the user changed the destination and presses ‘Previous Source’, the take will not restore the previous route. This button type can be used in either mode.

Salvo The salvo button places the panel in salvo mode where the operator can scroll

through the salvo list assigned to the panel (as a panel option). When the operator finds the salvo of interest, he or she presses the ‘Take’ button to execute the salvo. After the salvo executes, the panel returns to its normal mode. The salvo name appears in the ‘Preset’ field of the display. The button definition has no fields to configure. Pressing the salvo button again while the panel is in salvo mode resets the salvo selection to nothing. Pressing any other button while the panel is in salvo mode returns the panel to its normal mode.

User’s Guide

Type Descript ion

Source The button selects a source. The source name appears in the ‘Preset’ display.

When you assign a source button, two drop-down menus appear: ‘Source Device 1’ and ‘Source Device 2’. These correspond to two sets of sources. If there is a ‘Source Shift’ button on the panel, the operator can switch between the two sets. When the first set is selected, pressing the button selects device 1. When the second set is selected, pressing the button selects device 2.

Source Master

Means “source is the master” and makes the source device the master. Otherwise, the destination is the master. This button (and these concepts) apply only to machine control routes. The button definition has no fields to configure. The button is a toggle: Press it once to make the source the master (it goes high-tally); press it again to make the destination the master (the button is lowtally). A panel option allows you to make “source is master” the default. In this case, the button still toggles between “source is master” and “destination is master,” and the button, if present, is high-tally by default.

Source Mode The button places the panel in source mode, in which category selection

buttons select source categories. If the panel is not in source mode, it is in destination mode.

Source Shift The button toggles between the first and second sets of sources.

The button definition has no fields to configure. The button affects the operation of any source button (in either limited X-Y mode or multi-destination mode). Source buttons represent two sources. One belongs to one source set and the other belongs to the other source set. This button type can be used in either mode.

Src/Dst Mode The button toggles between source and destination modes. Category selec-

tions in source mode select source devices. Category selections in destination mode select destination devices. A single ‘Src/Dst Mode’ button does the work of a pair of ‘Source Mode’ and a ‘Destination Mode’ buttons.

Take In normal mode, a take button routes the preset source to the selected destina-

tion on selected level or levels. In salvo mode, a take button executes a selected salvo. A take button is disabled (and dark) until it is possible for the operator to execute a take. Configurers should provide the operator a ‘Take’ button. The button definition has no fields to configure.

Undefined This button type is a placeholder: during configuration, it makes the button

undefined and inactive. On the actual panel, the undefined button remains unlit (dark).

Configuration

Single-Destination Configuration

It is possible to configure the panel for single-destination operation.

The default destination (a panel option) is the single destination. There would be no destination buttons supporting other destinations.

Operating Concepts Setup Mode

This chapter is intended specifically for the NV9603A panel operator.

As an NV9603A operator, you will be confronted initially with a relatively small and simple panel — 34 buttons with a display having three 8-character fields.

The panel’s buttons can have arbitrary legends (using plastic inserts under the button caps). A button’s legend should indicate its function. Some buttons can be applied differently in other modes (such as menu mode). Operators and configurers will have to communicate about the meaning of the buttons.

The alphanumeric display (3 lines of 8 characters) shows the status of completed and pending takes under normal circumstances. The display presents information or menu items in other cases. See Alphanumeric Display

Physically, you will find

• Function buttons (e.g., select a source or lock a destination).

• Source, destination, and category buttons (and other button types).

• The name of the selected destination, its current source and its pending source.

At any particular time, some of the buttons are high-tally; some are low-tally; and some might be undefined. Active buttons are of two colors, green and amber. Green generally represents sources and source functions; amber generally represents destinations and destination functions, but the colors are also used for other functions.

 Please refer to the NV9000-SE Utilities User’s Guide (or the NV9000-SE Utilities help files) if you

are unfamiliar with the concepts used in this chapter.

Modes of Operation

The NV9603A usually operates in X-Y mode. You can also operate the panel in menu mode or salvo mode.

Generally, to operate the panel, you choose a destination, (possibly) choose desired breakaway levels, choose a source, and press ‘Take’.

Takes generally occur from a single source to a single destination. Destinations are selectable.

Operation

Summary

Takes are all level unless your panel has level buttons. If your panel has level buttons, you can select the level(s) on which the take is to occur. The sources of levels not selected remain unchanged.

Single-Destination Operation

Your panel might have been configured to have a single destination. If that is the case, then it is not necessary (or possible) to select a destination. It was pre-selected when the panel was configured.

Secondary Modes

Secondary modes are:

• Source mode — exists when you press a ‘Source Mode’ button or a ‘Src/Dst Mode’ button.

• Destination mode — exists when you press a ‘Destination Mode’ button or a ‘Src/Dst Mode’

button.

• Setup mode — where the NV9603A is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the network.

In this mode, the configurer can preset the NV9603A’s panel ID and perform a few diagnostic tasks. Usually, only configurers need be concerned with setup mode.

See Setup Mode

• Menu mode — pressing a menu button places the NV9603A in “menu” mode. In menu

mode, the buttons lose their normal functions and become part of a menu that changes as needed during menu operation.

There is nothing in the menu that concerns operators except button brightness. An operator may use the menu to set button brightness. Administrators and configurers may use the menu to view or change the panel ID, or to determine the software and firmware revisions.

See Menu Mode

• Salvo mode — pressing a salvo button places the NV9603A in “salvo” mode. In salvo mode,

the buttons lose their normal functions and display a list of salvos from which to choose.

When the panel is not in setup mode, menu mode, or salvo mode, we say it is in normal mode.

on page 42.

on page 39.

Button Legends

There are about 24 different button functions. Some might not be available on your panel. Typically, buttons have graphic or text legends that are plastic inserts placed under the clear button caps.

There are button templates available. Use these or your own to create button graphics. Print the graphics on clear plastic, cut the button graphics apart and insert these under the button caps.

Buttons are also color-coded to a limited degree. Green represents sources. Amber represents destinations. Those colors are used for other functions, however. High-tally (bright) buttons are those that are selected; low-tally (dim) buttons are those that are not selected. Dark (white or gray) buttons are those that are disabled.

Operating Concepts

Source Shift and Destination Shift

Each source button can represent two sources. A ‘Source Shift’ button selects which of the two sources the button will select. (The concept is similar to the shift key or the ‘caps lock’ key on a keyboard.)

A source shift button is a toggle: it is low-tally when it has enabled the first source. It is high-tally when it has enabled the second source.

Similarly, each destination button can represent two destinations. A ‘Destination Shift’ button selects which of the two destinations the button will select.

A source shift button affects all source buttons and a destination shift button affects all destination buttons.

Device Selection by Category

Although your panel might have dedicated source buttons and destination buttons, the panel does not have enough space to accommodate the hundreds or thousands of sources and destinations common in many installations.

Device categories exist to solve that problem. A device belongs to a named category and has an identifier within that category. Typically a category name is short (e.g., CAM, VTR) and the identifier is a number. However, the identifier can also be defined as an alphanumeric suffix (e.g, A, DF).

In the NV9000 system, device names are concatenations of the category name and one or more identifiers. There can be an underbar or similar character in between the category name and the identifiers (i.e., suffixes), for example:

CAM_5, CAM_7, VTR_12, VTR_83, VS134, VS135, ST_A7, ST_B12

Device names are limited to 8 characters, so it is not possible to use very many or very long suffixes.

The set of category buttons on your panel allow you to specify a device name in parts. The buttons can do any or all of 3 things:

• Select a source category and initiate category selection. When you press such a category

button (in source mode) the category name becomes the start of the device name and appears in the ‘Preset’ field of the display.

• Select a destination category and initiate category selection. When you press such a cate-

gory button (in destination mode) the category name becomes the start of the device name and appears in the ‘Preset’ field, and the ‘Destination’ field of the display.

• Append a suffix (numerical or alphanumeric) to the pending device name.

The panel’s category buttons will probably be labeled. It is up to you, the operator, to understand the labels.

Operation

Operating Concepts

Making a Category Selection

1 Put the panel in source mode or destination mode as required. (Note: you must select a des-

tination first, then the source, then press ‘Take’— panel where the destination is always pre-selected.)

2 Press a category button that will initiate a category selection. The category name will appear

in the ‘Preset’ field of the display.

3 Press one more category buttons that append a suffix to the device name in the ‘Preset’

field.

4 Stop when your device name is complete. Proceed with other operations.

Example: To select the device SAT_A12, press a ‘SAT’ category button, followed by an ‘A’ suffix button, followed by a ‘1’ suffix button and a ‘2’ suffix button. The underbar would be automatically generated. Depending on the NV9000 configuration, other such fill characters might be used.

unless your panel is a single-destination

Source and Destination Modes

Category device selection is affected by source mode and destination mode. In source mode, only source categories are selectable. In destination mode, only destination categories are selectable. (Some devices, such as VTRs, are both sources and destinations.) There are 3 button types that affect category device selection:

• Source Mode — places the panel in source mode.

• Destination Mode — places the panel in destination mode.

• Src/Dst Mode — toggles the panel between source mode and destination mode.

It is likely that your panel will have a ‘Src/Dst Mode’ button and neither of the other two.

Levels

In NV9000-SE Utilities and in the NV9000 router control system, routes occur on levels. A level is typically SD, HD, analog video, AES, analog audio, or machine control. Various devices are defined as sending and receiving signals on certain levels. The set of levels handled by a device belong to what is called a level set.

A source can be routed to a destination if it has the same set of levels, i.e., it belongs to the same named level set. A source can be routed to a destination in a different level set if the NV9000 configuration has the appropriate inter-level set mapping.

The effect of this is that when you, the operator, choose a destination, the NV9000 software recognizes which source devices are allowed to be routed to the destination and limits your selection to those sources.

Breakaway

Routes can be all-level in which case they are taken on all levels defined for the destination. The acceptable sources for a route have the same levels as, or some configured mapping to, the levels of the destination.

A breakaway is where you take different sources to the same destination most cases, you would take only certain levels of a new source to a destination that already has a source on its various levels.

— on different levels. In

NV9603A

User’s Guide

It is not possible to take different sources to the destination on the same level. For instance, you cannot take SD from two different sources. The outcome would be noise even if you could do it. (That is because routers are not mixers.)

Level Selection

If your panel has level buttons, you can select or deselect levels. To select a level, press a level button. To deselect it, press the button again.

 There is an exception to this: when you first select a destination, all levels for that destination

are automatically selected. If you press any level button when all levels are selected, the result is that all other levels become deselected and that level remains selected.

If your panel does not have level buttons that represent all levels of a destination, it is impossible to reselect all levels after deselecting some levels. The remedy is to reselect the destination. Doing so causes the pending take to become all-level once again.

Buttons

The NV9603A has 3 classes of button functions:

• Dedicated functions, such as ‘Default State’ and ‘Chop’.

• Variable functions, such as ‘Category’, ‘Source’, or ‘Destination’. A category button initiates or

carries out device selection. A source button selects a specific source. A destination button selects a specific destination.

• Special functions, such as ‘Menu’ and ‘Salvo’.

At present, there are 24 button types, not including “undefined” which is not a true button type:

Broadcast

Category Free Source Salvo

Chop Level Source

Clear Menu Source is Master

Destination Name Set Toggle Source Mode

Destination Lock Page Down Source Shift

Destination Mode Page Up Src/Dst Mode

Destination Protect Panel Lock Tak e

(If a button on your panel is undefined, it will remain dark and will not operate.)

Destination Shift Previous Source

Broadcast

A broadcast button applies to a data (or machine control) level only. The button assigns one controlling device (the master) to multiple controlled devices (the slaves). The function is useful in dubbing applications. See Broadcast Routes

 Pressing the ‘Broadcast’ button turns off the ‘Source is Master’ button and vice versa.

on page 37 for more information.

Chop

When a “chop” function is supported by a router, the button is a toggle that enables and disables “chop.” Chop is a rapid switching of the current destination device between one source and another source.

The chop function is used to test system timing and would not be used during normal operation.

The use of the chop function varies according to the operating mode. See Chop

on page 38.

Clear

The ‘Clear’ button reverts the panel to the most recent preset. (It does not cause any changes to the routers, control system, or its signals.)

You may think of this as a “backspace” or “cancel” key. During category/suffix device selection, it erases the suffixes you entered in reverse order.

Destination

The button selects a destination. The destination name appears in the ‘Destination’ display. The destination is the target of an upcoming take, which will route a source to that destination. A destination button represents two destinations. The destination selected when you press the button is affected by whether your panel has a ‘Destination Shift’ button and its state: whether it is selected or not.

User’s Guide

Destination Lock

This button is a toggle that sets or clears a lock on the current destination. The lock can be removed at the panel that originally set the lock, at a panel that has the same user ID, or by a forced release at any panel.

Unless your panel is configured for forced release, you cannot unlock or unprotect a destination locked or protected by someone else. The display will show “NotOwner” briefly.

You cannot take a source to a locked destination. The display will read “Locked” and show the user’s name.

Locks and protects apply to the currently selected destination in limited X-Y mode. They are not available in multi-destination mode.

When you lock a destination, the ‘Destination Lock’ button goes high-tally amber. If you have a ‘Destination Protect’ button, it will also go high-tally amber.

 Locks can apply to selected levels in limited X-Y mode.

 The NV9603A provides no explicit indication, during operation, whether a destination is

locked or unlocked.

Destination Protect

This button is a toggle that sets or clears a protect on the current destination device. The protect can be removed at the panel that originally set the protect, at any panel that has the same user ID, or by a forced release at any panel.

Unless your panel is configured for forced release, you cannot unlock or unprotect a destination locked or protected by someone else. The display will show “NotOwner” briefly.

You cannot take a source to a protected destination if someone else protected it. The display will read “Protect” and show the user’s name. However, you can take a source to a protected destination if you protected it or it is protected at another panel that has your user name. Doing so does not remove the protection.

Locks and protects apply to the currently selected destination in limited X-Y mode. They are not available in multi-destination mode.

When you protect a destination, the ‘Destination Protect’ button goes high-tally green. Any ‘Destination Lock’ button remains unaffected. Note that you cannot protect a locked destination.

 Protects can apply to selected levels in limited X-Y mode.

 The NV9603A provides no explicit indication, during operation, whether a destination is

locked or unlocked.

Destination Mode

The ‘Destination Mode’ button places the panel in destination mode, where category selection buttons select destination categories. If the panel is not in destination mode, it is in source mode, where category buttons select source categories.

Note that not all category buttons necessarily select categories. Some might represent only category suffixes. See Device Selection by Category

on page 27.

Operation

Operating Concepts

Destination Shift

The ‘Destination Shift’ button toggles between the first and second sets of destinations. The button affects the operation of any destination button.

Free Source

The button selects a pre-defined phantom device that can be used to release or “free” devices on the data (machine control) level. A free source is also used with tielines to free the tieline for others to use. The actual free source used is defined in the NV9000 configuration.

Use this button as if it were a source button.

Level

The button selects or deselects a level.

The button exists only when your panel is configured for limited X-Y mode. Presumably, it will have several level buttons, one for each level you need to control.

You will select one or more levels for a breakaway and then press a source button to complete the take. When all level buttons are deselected, or when all level buttons are selected, a take is “all-level.” When one or more level buttons are selected, a take occurs on just those levels.

You must select levels before selecting the source.

The color of the level buttons reflect the levels of the current destination in a limited way.

Name Set Toggle

An ‘Name Set Toggle’ button toggles the panel between its default name set and the “system name” set. Whichever name set you select becomes the “active” name set.

Page Down

The button scrolls down. The meaning of scrolling varies with context:

• Scrolling devices within a category: ‘Page Down’ moves to the next lower device in the cate-

gory’s device list. (Example: if the current device is CAM_4, the next lower device would probably be CAM_3, subject to the device definitions in the NV9000 configuration.)

Scrolling devices is possibly only when a category selection is in progress. The device name appears in the ‘Preset’ field of the display.

Scrolling devices is subject to the “continuous scrolling” panel option. If continuous scrolling is enabled, the device list will wrap around at the beginning or the end of the list. Otherwise, scrolling stops at the beginning or end of the list.

NV9603A

User’s Guide

• Scrolling salvos in salvo mode: ‘Page Down’ moves to the salvo with the next lower index in

the panel’s salvo list. (It is expected that if the panel has a salvo button, the NV9000 system also has a salvo list.)

Scrolling salvos is not subject to the “continuous scrolling” panel option. Scrolling stops at the beginning or end of the salvo list.

Page Up

The button scrolls up. The meaning of scrolling varies with context:

• Scrolling devices within a category: ‘Page Up’ moves to the next higher device in the cate-

gory’s device list. (Example: if the current device is CAM_3, the next lower device would probably be CAM_4, subject to the device definitions in the NV9000 configuration.)

Scrolling devices is possibly only when a category selection is in progress. The device name appears in the ‘Preset’ field of the display.

• Scrolling salvos in salvo mode: ‘Page Up’ moves to the salvo with the next higher index in the

panel’s salvo list. (It is expected that if the panel has a salvo button, the NV9000 system also has a salvo list.)

Scrolling salvos is not subject to the “continuous scrolling” panel option. Scrolling stops at the beginning or end of the salvo list.

Panel Lock

The button prevents accidental changes to the panel settings, especially router crosspoints. When the panel is locked, the button array becomes blank except for the Panel Lock button which becomes high tally amber.

The button is a toggle: press the panel lock button again to revert the panel to its previous state.

Previous Source

The button presets the previously routed source to the currently selected destination. To restore the previous route, you must next press ‘Take’ assuming you have not changed the destination. This function is useful when you make a route in error.

The button does not restore the previous destination. If you changed the destination and press ‘Previous Source’, the take will not restore the previous route.

Salvo

The salvo button places the panel in salvo mode. In salvo mode, most buttons become disabled. In salvo mode, you can scroll through the salvo list assigned to the panel. When you find the salvo of your choice, press the ‘Take’ button to execute the salvo. After the salvo executes, the panel returns to its normal mode.

Pressing the salvo button again while the panel is in salvo mode to reset the salvo selection. Press any other button (such as ‘Clear’) while the panel is in salvo mode to return the panel to its normal mode without executing a salvo.

Operation

Operating Concepts

Source

The button selects a source. The source name appears in the ‘Status’ display.

A source button represents two sources. The source selected when you press the button is affected by whether your panel has a ‘Source Shift’ button and its state: whether it is selected or not.

Source is Master

Means “source is the master” and makes the source device the master. Otherwise, the destination is the master. This button (and these concepts) apply only to machine control routes.

The button is a toggle: Press it once to make the source the master (it goes high-tally); press it again to make the destination the master (the button is low-tally).

The ‘Source is Master’ button is also used to initiate “broadcast” machine control routes. See

Broadcast Routes

During data level (i.e., machine control) takes, this button makes the source device the master. Otherwise, the destination is the master.

The button is a toggle that reverses the direction of data routing. For example, if the destination is the master and the source is the slave, pressing a ‘Source is Master’ button reverses their roles. Pressing the button again reverses the roles.

The ‘Source is Master’ button is used to initiate “broadcast” control routes. See Broadcast Routes on page 37.

The panel can be configured so that “source is master” is the default state or so that “destination is master” is the default. The button still toggles between “source is master” and “destination is master.”

 Pressing the ‘Source is Master’ button turns off the ‘Broadcast’ button and vice versa.

on page 37.

Source Mode

The ‘Source Mode’ button places the panel in source mode, where category selection buttons select source categories. If the panel is not in source mode, it is in destination mode, where category buttons select destination categories.

Note that not all category buttons necessarily select actual categories. Some might represent only category suffixes. See Device Selection by Category

on page 27.

Source Shift

The ‘Source Shift’ button toggles between the first and second sets of sources. The button affects the operation of any source button.

Src/Dst Mode

The ‘Src/Dst Mode’ button toggles the panel between source mode and destination mode. If the panel is in source mode, category buttons select source categories. Otherwise, category buttons select destination categories.

Note that not all category buttons necessarily select actual categories. Some might represent only category suffixes. See Device Selection by Category

on page 27.

Take

In normal mode, a take button routes the preset source to the selected destination on selected level or levels.

In salvo mode, a take button executes a selected salvo.

A take button is disabled (and dark) until it becomes possible for the operator to execute a take.

Undefined

An undefined button cannot be used and appears dark (unlit) on the panel. The term “undefined” has meaning primarily to the configurer.

Lock, Protect, and Release

In a multi-user system, routes made by one user can be made safe from being accidentally or maliciously change by another user.

Definitions

Owner The user ID of a panel where a lock or protect was issued.

Source lock No one can use the source.

Source protect No one but the owner can use the source.

Destination lock No one can route to the destination.

Destination protect No one but the owner can route to the destination.

Release To remove a lock or protect.

Some control panels can lock or protect both sources and destinations. However, The NV9603A provides locks and protects for destinations only.

A forced release is when the lock or protect is removed by someone other than the owner. A forced release can be performed:

• At any panel configured with release mode set to “forced release”.

• At any other panel with “force release” enabled.

The ‘Destination Lock’ and ‘Destination Protect’ buttons are toggles. Press the lock (or protect) button to lock (or protect) a destination. Press the button again to release the lock (or protect).

 Note: a protect prevents others from routing to a destination; a lock prevents anyone — even

the user who issued the lock

 You may lock a protected destination, but you cannot change a locked destination to a

protected destination directly. You must first unlock it.

— from routing to the destination.

Locks and Protects with Breakaway

Use this method to lock or unlock selected levels in limited X-Y mode under breakaway:

1 Optionally press ‘Source Shift’ to toggle between the source sets.

2 Optionally press a source button. The source currently routed to that destination might

already be what you want. Pressing the source performs a take.

3 Select the levels you want to lock or unlock. Selected levels are high-tally. If your panel has a

‘None/All’ button, you can use it to select either no levels or all levels.

4 Press a ‘Destination Lock’ button.

Operation

Operating Concepts

Use this same method to protect or unprotect selected levels, using a ‘Destination Protect’ button instead.

Note that lock buttons are toggles. Therefore, if you select some levels that are already locked and some that are unlocked, pressing the lock button will invert their status. Locked levels become unlocked and those that were unlocked become unlocked. The same is true for protect buttons.

Takes

Press a ‘Take’ button to complete a take. The preset source is routed to the current destination on some or all levels. After the take, the preset source becomes the current source. Following are brief instructions on how to perform a take.

Follow these steps:

1 Press a destination button to start the take. Alternatively, select a destination using category

selection. The ‘Destination’ field of the display shows the destination you chose.

2 Press one or more level buttons to selected the levels you want to route. The levels that are

available are those of the default destination.

 A take with no levels selected is the same as a take with all levels selected. It occurs on all

levels. What the ‘None’ function does is allow you to clear the levels easily prior to selecting just one level or only a few levels.

 If your panel does not have level buttons that represent all levels of a destination, it is

impossible to reselect all levels after deselecting some levels. The remedy is to reselect the destination. Doing so causes the pending take to become all-level once again.

3 Optionally press ‘Source Shift’ to toggle between the source pages.

4 Press a source button. Alternatively, select a source using category selection. The ‘Preset’

field of the display shows the source you chose.

5 Press a ‘Take’ button. The ‘Status’ field of the display now shows the source you chose.

Name Sets

NV9000-SE Utilities allows configurers to define multiple name sets. Each name set contains alternate names for any and all devices in the NV9000 system. The alternate names can appear in the displays of your panel.

Further, your panel can have a ‘Name Set Toggle’ buttons that allows you to switch between the “default” name set and the “system name” set. Whichever name set you are currently using is the active name set.

There is always a ‘System Name’ set. That name set includes the device names defined within the NV9000 configuration. Any other name sets are optional.

Note that when the panel is displaying alternate names, and a device does not have an alternate name, the panel displays the system name.

User’s Guide

Broadcast Routes

It is easy to route a source to multiple destinations for audio and video routers. You place the panel in hold mode with the hold button. In contrast, machine control routes are typically point-to-point. Therefore, to control multiple machines requires that you perform a “broadcast” operation using a ‘Broadcast’ button.

In “broadcast mode,” the source device issues control commands to all destination devices but only one destination (the first one you connect to the source) can respond with status.

Broadcast routes can be performed in either mode.

 “Broadcast” routes are those that involve machine control. An NVISION series machine

control router such as the NV5256 is required.

Before You Begin

1 Ensure that all devices that you want to include in the route are not locked or protected —

and that their machine control levels can be acquired.

2 Ensure that the panel has a ‘Broadcast’ button. If it does not, broadcast routes are not possi-

ble. Consult your administrator.

3 Ensure that your data router has been configured as “data forward.” In this mode, the router

expects the source (e.g., playback device) to control the destination (e.g., recording device).

4 Cue your playback device. (After the take, you must manually start the playback.)

—

Performing a Broadcast Take

Follow these steps:

1 Select a destination and route a source to it. The source becomes the master because the

router is in data forward mode. This destination is the slave and communicates bidirectionally with the master on the machine control level.

2 Press ‘Broadcast’ (so that it is high-tally).

3 Choose a destination and route the same source to it. This destination only receives control

commands; it will not return status.

4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional slave destinations.

5 To remove one slave from the group, turn off ‘Broadcast’ and route a source to it that is not

the master (e.g., the free source). This new device must have a machine control connection.

6 To clear the entire broadcast route, turn off ‘Broadcast’ and select the master device as the

destination in a new route. (We recommend that you use the free source as the new source). The entire broadcast route is cleared, and data connections are removed from all slaves.

Important Points

• After you perform the complete take, you must start the playback of the source device man-

ually.

• The panel provides no way to determine which devices belong to the “broadcast group.” You

must keep track of this yourself.

• If another operator takes either your master device or the first slave device, the entire broad-

cast group collapses. Any other slave can be removed from the group, however, without collapsing the entire group. Only the primary pair is critical to the group’s integrity.

Operation

Operating Concepts

Data Routing

There are 3 data routing options that affect sources and destinations that have a machine control level (i.e., a data level). These options govern what happens when a source or destination device is to be used.

Automatic Data Routing

A take involving a machine control level occurs automatically, without intervention, regardless of who is using a device.

This option applies in all operating modes.

Manual Data Routing

A take involving a machine control level occurs on all levels except the machine control level. You must route the machine control level as a breakaway.

When a take involving a machine control level occurs, the status display shows the name of the machine control level and the destination display shows “In Use.” That is a signal that you need to take the machine control level as a breakaway.

This option applies only in limited X-Y mode.

Semi-Automatic Data Routing

A take involving a source or a destination having a machine control level might not occur immediately if the source or destination device is in use. This option applies in all operating modes.

If neither device is “in use” the take occurs immediately. Otherwise, you need to press the source button again to complete the take.

If the source device is in use, the ‘Status’ display shows “Src Used” and the destination display shows “Retry?”

If the source device is in use, the ‘Status’ display shows “DestUsed” and the destination display shows “Retry?”

If the source device is in use, the ‘Status’ display shows “BothUsed” and the destination display shows “Retry?”

If you do not press the (same) source button again, the take is canceled. (It will time out.)

Follow these steps:

1 Press a destination button.

2 Press a source button.

3Examine the display.

4 If the destination display shows “Retry,” press the source button again to complete the take.

The take will time out if you do not press the source button.

Chop

The chop function is a diagnostic function for routers that support chop. It allows you to switch rapidly between two sources at a particular destination. The chop interval is defined in the NV9000 configuration. The default chop interval is 6 fields.

Follow these steps:

To terminate the chop, (1) press the chop button again to turn it off, (2) select the destination you had chosen for the chop, then (3) select any source.

Salvo Mode

Your panel must be configured to have a salvo list and a salvo button. Otherwise, salvo mode does not function.

The salvo button places the panel in salvo mode where you can scroll through the panel’s salvo list. When you find the salvo of you choice, press the ‘Take’ button to execute the salvo. After the salvo executes, the panel returns to its normal mode.

Press the salvo button again while the panel is in salvo mode to reset the salvo selection to nothing.

Press any other button while the panel is in salvo mode to return the panel to its normal mode.

Glossary

AES/EBU (Audio Engineering Society/European Broadcasting Union). AES and EBU are standards

organizations.

Breakaway A condition where a destination has multiple sources on different levels.

Category A category represents a set of devices. (The concept of categories exists to make it easier to

select devices at a control panel.) A category can contain sources, destinations, or devices that are both sources and destinations. Each device in the category has a unique selection index within that category. Each category has a mnemonic ID associated with it.

The NV9603A does not support categories or category selection.

Data routing Data routing (a.ka., machine control routing) is a bidirectional form of routing. Routes are char-

acterized by a controlling device and controlled device(s). The NV9603A provides certain data routing options including a ‘Broadcast’ button.

Device A “device” is a grouping of input and output ports that define a logical entity. (The logical entity

often represents a real device, but it does not have to be a real entity.) For example, a system might have 3 levels: video, AES, and time code. A hypothetical device in this system is Camera 1, which consists of video on input port 1 of the video router, AES on input port 5 of the AES router, and time code on input port 8 of the time code router.

GPIO General Purpose Input and Output. A generic term for the NV9603A’s tally interface. The tally

interface is called the “GPI Interface” at the rear of the NV9603A.

Level set A level set is a group of virtual levels that are commonly used together when switching devices.

A level set also defines the mapping of each virtual level within the level set to a single physical level. All levels in a level set have a unique display index within that level set.

Multi-Destination (Mode)

Operator The term operator (a.k.a. user) usually refers to users other than the system administrator or
