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.
