Other NV9604 Functions

The NV9604 is a 1RU control panel, slightly over 9” deep, overall. It has 32 backlit function
buttons.

The NV9604 can operate either by itself as a stand-alone panel or as a extension of an NV9602
control panel. By itself, it can operate in one of two modes. As an extension to an NV9602, it can
operate in any of the 4 modes configured for that particular NV9602. See Modes of Operation
following.

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

When the panel is stand-alone, the function buttons either select sources or select destinations.
When the panel is used as an NV9602 extension, the buttons can execute a small set of addi­tional functions. (When the panel is used as an extension of an NV9602) physical source
selection buttons represent one of two sets of sources. Physical destination selection buttons (if
present) represent one of two sets of destinations. An operator can toggle between the two
sets.

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

Fig. 2-2: NV9604 Rear

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

Introduction

Panel Organization

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

(The Ethernet port is 10baseT. The NV9000 supports 10baseT as well as 100baseT.)

Panel Organization

Function Buttons

The NV9604 has an array of 32 function buttons. There is a limited set of button functions when
the panel is stand-alone. When it is an NV9602 extension, the buttons’ functions are slightly
different in each of the 4 operating modes of the NV9602. (See Modes of Operation

When the panel is an NV9602 extension, source buttons represent one of two sets of sources.
Destination buttons (if present) represent one of two sets of destinations. The panel can be
configured with a ‘Source Shift’ button that toggles between the two source sets and a ‘Destina­tion Shift’ button that toggles between the two Destination sets.

When the panel is stand-alone, each source button represents a single source and each destina­tion button represents a single destination.

Each button has three operational levels: high and low tally (green or amber), and off. Config­urers can adjust the high- and low-tally levels in increments of 10%. 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.

, next.)

Modes of Operation

By itself, the NV9604 operates in one of 2 modes:

• Single-Destination Mode.

• Limited X-Y Mode.

An NV9602 can operate in one of 4 modes:

• Single-Destination Mode.

• Single-Destination Mode with Breakaway.

• Limited X-Y Mode.

• Multi-Destination Mode.

As a NV9602 extension, the NV9604 can operate in any mode configured for the NV9602. The
NV9604 has limited use when the NV9602 is in multi-destination mode.

The modes (or behavioral models) are determined at configuration for both the NV9604 and the
NV9602. The operator cannot switch between different modes.

NV9604

User’s Guide

Single-Destination Mode

In single destination mode, the panel’s destination is the configured default destination and
there are no destination buttons. Takes are performed on all levels.

When the panel is an NV9602 extension, operators can use a ‘Source Shift’ button on the
NV9602 to toggle between two sets of sources.

Takes occur as soon as a source button is pressed.

Under NV9602 Control

The single destination is the one configured for the NV9602. The default destination for the
NV9604 is ignored.

Single-Destination Mode with Breakaway

This mode is an extension of single-destination mode that includes level buttons on the NV9602
panel. This mode is not available when the NV9604 is stand-alone.

Here too, the single destination is configured as the default destination for the NV9602. The
default destination for the NV9604 is ignored. There are no destination buttons.

The NV9602’s level buttons selected the levels on which the take is to occur. Takes occur on all
levels when either no levels are selected or when all levels are selected.

Operators can use a ‘Source Shift’ button to toggle between two sets of sources.

Levels selected on the NV9602 affect sources selected on either the NV9602 or NV9604.

Limited X-Y Mode

In limited X-Y mode, takes occur from a single source to a single destination. Destinations are
selectable.

Takes are all level. Pressing a source button completes the take.

When the panel is an NV9602 extension, operators can use a ‘Source Shift’ button to toggle
between two sets of sources. Similarly, operators can use a ‘Destination Shift’ button to toggle
between two sets of destinations.

Under NV9602 Control

Both sources and destinations can be selected on the NV9604. The ‘Source Shift’ button and the
‘Destination Shift’ button of the NV9602 affect source and destination selections on the NV9604.

Multi-Destination Mode

This mode is not available when the NV9604 is stand-alone. In this mode, source buttons of the
NV9602 are configured with destinations as well as sources.

Each NV9602 source button completes a route to an individual destination. If each button had a
different destination, it would be possible to route to 38 destinations. The typical NV9602
configuration would have fewer destinations.

The NV9604’s source buttons do not support multi-destination operations. The only button
functions available in this mode are salvo buttons.

5

Introduction

Other NV9604 Functions

Takes are all-level.

Operators can use a ‘Source Shift’ button to toggle between two sets of sources.

Under NV9602 Control

The NV9604 can be used only for salvo buttons when it is under control of a NV9602 configured
in multi-destination mode.

Secondary Modes

The NV9604 of itself has no secondary modes.

The NV9604 has a limited self-test capability, but no setup mode in which to change its panel ID.
To change the panel ID, you must use NV9000-SE Utilities. See Self-Test

Other NV9604 Functions

The NV9604 can be configured to perform the following additional functions:

• Previous source.

• System salvos.

Installation

Installation

Installation

Follow these steps to install a NV9604 control panel:

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

The NV9604 is designed to mount in a 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 NV9604.

3 Connect power.

Installing Software and Documentation

This document is available through the Miranda web site.

You must use NV9000-SE Utilities to configure the NV9604 control panel. Contact Miranda 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 NV9604 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

Your NV9604 will go through a brief initialization sequence as it starts up.

If your panel has been configured and has a panel ID, it will reach its operating state in a few
seconds. If the panel ID is wrong, the second button in the lower row will light:

When the panel ID is correct and the panel is connected to the system controller, the first button
in the lower row will light momentarily:

While the panel establishes communication with the system controller, both of those buttons
will light:

After that, if all is well, the panel buttons will illuminate as they have been configured.

8

Otherwise, the second button will remain amber, indicating a panel error. These are the poten­tial panel errors:

Error Solution

The panel ID is incorrect Set the panel ID in NV9000-SE Utilities.

The panel is disconnected from the NV9000 sys­tem

The panel has a panel ID already assigned to
another panel.

You can now prepare an NV9604 configuration in NV9000-SE Utilities and upload the configura­tion to the NV9604. You need a panel ID to create a NV9604 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.

Setting the Panel ID

NV9604

User’s Guide

Make sure that the panel is connected to an Ether­net switch that supports 10baseT and that the
Ethernet switch is connected to the systemk con­troller’s panel and router net.

Set the panel ID in NV9000-SE Utilities.

 It is not possible to set the panel ID of an NV9604 at the panel itself. You must use NV9000-SE

Utilities to set the panel ID.

Follow these steps to set the panel ID.

1 If you have more than one NV9604 to set up, choose one of them.

2 Apply power to the panel. Connect one panel to the appropriate panel/router network of

your system controller.

3 In NV9000-SE Utilities, click ‘System Management’ in the navigation pane. Click the “+” sign

next to the icon for the applicable system in the ‘System management’ tree at the left. Doing
that expands the information “tree” associated with the system. Then click the
‘Control Panels ...’ entry in the tree.

Panel Error

Message

Setting the Panel ID

The control panels page appears:

4 Observe the ‘Panel Network Errors’ list in that window. You should see a network error mes-

sage for the NV9604 you have connected.

This example shows a panel ID of 0. Usually, NV9604 panels from the factory have an ID of 0.

5 Right-click that list entry. You will get a message allowing you to change the panel ID:

6 Click ‘Change ID’. A window appears in which you can enter a new panel ID:

7 Change the panel ID to a suitable value. Make a note of the value.

8 Now click ‘Configuration’ in the navigation pane. Under ‘Configuration’, choose ‘Control Pan-

els’.

9 Click ‘Add Control Panel’ in the ‘Control Panels’ page to create an NV9604 control panel con-

figuration. It is important to give it the panel ID you just assigned to the NV9604. You do not
have to complete the configuration at this time.

10 Return to the ‘System Management’ page for your system. Click ‘Write Configuration ...’ to

write the updated configuration to the NV9000. The NV9000 will now include a panel config­uration for, and an panel ID for, the NV9604.

10

Testing

NV9604

User’s Guide

If you view the system’s control panel page, the ‘Current Panel Status’ list shows the panel
you just added.

11 Repeat steps 2 through 10 for any additional NV9604s.

 You must set the panel ID of only one NV9604 at a time. If you connect multiple NV9604s

(that do not have proper panel IDs) to the system controller, it cannot determine to which
NV9604 you want to assign a panel ID.

 You can also right-click the panel entry in the ‘Current Panels’ list (under ‘System Manage-

ment’) if you want to change its ID again. If you change its ID, you will have to create another
panel configuration with that panel ID. The easiest way to do that is to create a copy of the
old configuration that has the new panel ID.

A panel test function is available when the NV9604 is disconnected from the system controller.
Run the test to determine the health of your NV9604. See Self-Test

on page 28 for detail.

These are points to consider after you install your NV9604 control panel(s):

1 Do the buttons illuminate? When an NV9604 powers up, one or more of its buttons are sup-

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

2 When the NV9604 powers up and it is connected to the system controller, it should initialize

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 the panel has a single high-tally amber button lit (the second button in the lower row),
there is a problem.

 The NV9604, 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.

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?

6 If the NV9604 is intended to be an extension to an NV9602, ensure that in its configuration,

the ‘Use as Slave Panel’ checkbox is checked and that an NV9602 has been selected.

You can test a take using the NV9602/NV9604 pair. Press a destination or a source on the
NV9604 to see if the destination or source is identified in the display of the NV9602.

This chapter addresses configurers. Operators and other persons not interested in NV9604
configuration need not read this chapter.

The NV9604 is a relatively simple panel. It has 32 function buttons. It can operate stand-alone as
a single-destination panel or as a limited X-Y panel. It can also operate as an extension to an
NV9602 control panel. As an extension, it follows the mode in which the NV9602 was config­ured. The NV9602 has 4 operating modes:

• Single-Destination Mode.

• Single-Destination Mode with Breakaway.

• Limited X-Y Mode.

• Multi-Destination Mode.

NV9000-SE Utilities is the software with which to configure the NV9604. Figure 4-1, following,
shows the default NV9604 panel configuration page from NV9000-SE Utilities.

Adding a Panel to an NV9000 Configuration

You must create configurations for the NV9604 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.

13

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:

14

Choose “NV9604” from the ‘Type’ field. In the ID field, enter the panel ID you assigned to the
panel in the ‘System Management’ page. (You can change the panel ID of an NV9604 only 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.

NV9604

User’s Guide

In the first and third cases, you will create a new configuration file whose name you designate.
The file extension for an NV9604 configuration file is

.604. Click ‘Next’ or ‘Finish’ to proceed.

Click ‘Previous’ to go back the previous page. Click ‘Cancel’ to terminate the entry operation.

 There are 2 other buttons, ‘Suffix’ and ‘Navigate’, both dim (disabled). These do not apply to

the NV9604.

Return to the ‘Control Panels’ page to view your new entry. To edit an NV9604 configuration,
double-click its list entry:

You will then see the panel configuration page for the selected NV9604.

NV9604 Panel Configuration Page

This is the default NV9604 panel configuration page in NV9000-SE Utilities:

Fig. 4-1: NV9604 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

Above the ‘Revert to Saved’ and ‘Save’ buttons (always present) there are 4 main regions:

• A graphic representation of the NV9604 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

Options, following.

Configuration Tasks

The person configuring an NV9604 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.

, following.

16

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

• Determine whether the panel will run as an NV9602 extension.

• Determine in which mode the panel with this configuration will run.

• Select panel options.

• Assign functions to buttons.

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:

box, a drop-down menu appears in which you can select the
NV9602 to which this NV9604 will be an extension. If there are no
entries in the drop-down menu, you cannot use the NV9604 as an
extension.

Button Specification

The button definition section configures the button you have selected in the image of the
NV9604:

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.

When the NV9604 is used as an NV9602 extension, the use of the buttons depends on the mode
in which the NV9602 is configured.

18

NV9604

User’s Guide

Four such modes (or behavioral models) apply. These letter codes identify, below, the NV9602
modes in which a button can operate:

S

— single-destination mode

B

— single-destination mode with breakaway

X

— limited X-Y mode

M

— multi-destination mode

Any

— any mode

When the NV9604 is used by itself, the NV9604 has no modes, but can operate either as single­destination panel (using the default destination) or as an X-Y panel.

Button Types

These are the button types available for NV9604 configurations:

Type Modes Description

Destination X The button selects a destination.

When the panel is an NV9602 extension, the destination name
appears in the ‘Destination’ display of the NV9602. The destination is
the target of a pending take, which will route a source to that
destination.
The nature of destination buttons differs according to your
configuration:

• Stand-alone panel.

When you assign a source button, one drop-down menus appear:
‘Destination Device’.

• NV9602 extension (you have checked ‘Use as Slave Panel’).

When you assign a destination button, two drop-down menus
appear: ‘Destination Device 1’ and ‘Destination Device 2’. These
correspond to the two destination sets. If there is a ‘Destination
Shift’ button on the NV9602 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.

Note that when an NV9602 is in multi-destination mode, the only
operable buttons on the NV9604 are salvo buttons.

Previous
Source

S, B, X 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.
The button type is not available unless you have checked ‘Use as Slave
Panel’.

19

Configuration

Button Definitions

Type Modes Description

Salvo Any The salvo button executes a system salvo immediately.

During configuration, when you assign a salvo button, a drop-down
menu appears: ‘Salvo’. Choose a salvo from the list. The ‘None’ entry is
merely a placeholder. Do not choose ‘None’.
The button type is not available unless you have checked ‘Use as Slave
Panel’.

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

display. Pressing a source button completes a take.
When the panel is an NV9602 extension, the source name appears in
the ‘Status’ display of the NV9602.
The nature of source buttons differs according to your configuration:

• Stand-alone panel.

When you assign a source button, one drop-down menus appear:
‘Source Device’.

• NV9602 extension (you have checked ‘Use as Slave Panel’).

When you assign a source button, two drop-down menus appear:
‘Source Device 1’ and ‘Source Device 2’. These correspond to the
two source sets. 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.

Note that when an NV9602 is in multi-destination mode, the only
operable buttons on the NV9604 are salvo buttons.

Undefined Any 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).

Operating Concepts
Self-Test

This chapter is intended specifically for the NV9604 panel operator.

As an NV9604 operator, you will be confronted initially with a relatively small and simple panel
— just 32 buttons (and no display). The NV9604 can operate either as a stand-alone panel or as
an extension to an NV9602. As an NV9602 extension, it follows the mode and methods of the
NV9602.

The panel’s buttons can have arbitrary legends (using plastic inserts under the button caps). A
button’s legend should indicate its function. Operators and configurers will have to communi­cate about the meaning of the buttons.

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.

Modes of Operation

As a stand-alone panel, the NV9604 has no modes, but can operate either as a single-destina­tion panel (using the default destination) or it can operate as an X-Y panel.
As an NV9602 extension, it operates in one of 4 modes (or behavioral models) of the NV9602:

• Single-Destination Mode.

• Single-Destination Mode with Breakaway.

• Limited X-Y Mode.

• Multi-Destination Mode.

The panel’s set of button functions varies slightly with the mode (or behavioral model).

Generally, to operate the panel, you press a destination button and then press a source button.
Choosing a source for a destination completes a take. This paradigm has slight variations in the
different modes.

 There is no ‘Take’ button in any mode.

21

Operation

Summary

Single-Destination Mode

In single destination mode, the panel’s destination is configured as the default destination and
there are no destination buttons. You cannot select a destination

Takes are performed on all levels of the currently selected destination.

When the panel is an NV9602 extension, you can use a ‘Source Shift’ button to toggle between
two sets of sources. For a stand-alone NV9604, a source button represents a single source.

Takes occur as soon as a source button is pressed.

— it is already selected.

Single-Destination Mode with Breakaway

 This mode requires the NV9604 to be an NV9602 extension.

This mode is a variant of single-destination mode that includes level buttons on the NV9602 and
that allows breakaway.

The single destination is configured as the default destination and you cannot select a destina­tion because it is already selected.

Level buttons select the levels on which the take is to occur. Takes occur on all levels when either
no levels are selected or when all levels are selected.

You can use a ‘Source Shift’ button (on the NV9602) to toggle between the two sets of sources.

Limited X-Y Mode

In limited X-Y mode, takes occur from a single source to a single destination. Destinations are
selectable.

Takes are all level. Pressing a source button completes the take.

When the panel is an NV9602 extension, operators can use a ‘Source Shift’ button (on the
NV9602) to toggle between two sets of sources. Similarly, operators can use a ‘Destination Shift’
button (on the NV9602) to toggle between two sets of destinations.

Multi-Destination Mode

 This mode requires the NV9604 to be an NV9602 extension.

Although an NV9602 can be configured in multi-destination mode, the buttons of the NV9604
do not function as multi-destination buttons.

When the NV9602 is in multi-destination mode (and the NV9604 is its extension), it is possible to
use the NV9604 for salvo buttons, but nothing else.

Takes are all-level.

Button Legends

The NV9602 has about 20 different button functions. The NV9604 has at most 4. Some might not
be available on your panel depending on the operating mode in which it was configured. Typi­cally, buttons have graphic or text legends that are plastic inserts placed under the clear button
caps.

There are button templates. 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.

22

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

When the NV9604 is a stand-alone panel, the only possible operation is to perform a take:

• In single-destination mode, by pressing a source button.

• In X-Y mode, by pressing a destination button, then a source button.

The following concepts stem from the NV9602 and apply only when the NV9604 is an NV9602
extension.

Source Shift

Each source button can represent two sources. A ‘Source Shift’ button selects which of the two
sources the source 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 that enables either the first or second source of source buttons.
The source shift button is low-tally when it has enabled the first source. It is high-tally when it
has enabled the second source.

A source shift button toggles all source buttons

NV9604

User’s Guide

— on the NV9602 and NV9604.

Destination Shift

Destination shift applies only in ‘Limited X-Y’ mode. The concept is much like source shift.

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

A destination shift button is a toggle that enables either the first or second destination of desti­nation buttons. The destination shift button is low-tally when it has enabled the first
destination. It is high-tally when it has enabled the second destination.

A destination shift button toggles all destination buttons

— on the NV9602 and NV9604.

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.

23

Operation

Operating Concepts

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

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.)

— on different levels.

Hold

Hold mode (and hold buttons) apply in ‘Single Destination with Breakaway’ mode and ‘Limited
X-Y’ mode.

Breakaway

In single-destination mode with breakaway, a hold button retains breakaway levels after a take.

Simply press the hold button at any time before the take.

A hold button is a toggle. Press it once to put the panel in hold mode; press it again to remove
hold mode.

Limited X-Y

In limited X-Y mode, this button allows you to perform a gang (or “dub”) switch. In hold mode,
destination selections are cumulative, and not mutually exclusive.
Follow these steps to route a source to more than one destination:

1 Select the first destination to which you want to route the source. Use a ‘Destination Shift’

button if necessary to access the destination. The destination tallies bright amber and its
name appears in the destination display.

2 Press the hold button. If the panel is in hold mode, the hold button will be high-tally. (Press

the hold button again if it is not.)

3 Select the additional destinations you require. As you select each destination, its name

appears in the destination display. You can toggle these additional destinations on or off.

4 Select a source. Use a ‘Source Shift’ button if necessary to access the source. The take to the

multiple destinations is immediate.

5 As long as hold remains enabled, you can route other sources to the same group of destina-

tions.

To cl ea r h o l d m o de :

1 Press the hold button. If it does not go low-tally, press it again.

2 Select any destination.

NV9604

User’s Guide

Buttons

As an NV9602 extension, the NV9604 has 4 button types:

• Destination

• Previous Source

• Salvo

• Source

If your NV9604 is a stand-alone panel, it can have only two button types: source and destination.

Just for comparison, the NV9602 has 21 button types, not including “undefined” which is not an
actual button type:

Broadcast Free Source Previous Source

Chop Hold Salvo

Default State Level Source

Destination Menu Source is Master

Destination Lock Name Set Toggle Source/Destination

Destination Protect None/All Source/Dest Toggle

Destination Shift Panel Lock Source Shift

In the following few function descriptions, the modes in which the functions operate are indi­cated (to the left) as follows:

S

— single-destination mode

B

— single-destination mode with breakaway

X

— limited X-Y mode

M

— multi-destination mode.

Any

— any mode.

X Destination

The button selects a destination. If the NV9604 is an NV9602 extension, the destination name
appears in the ‘Destination’ display of the NV9602. The destination is the target of an upcoming
take, which will route a source to that destination.
The nature of destination buttons differs according to the panel’s configured operating mode:

• Stand-alone panel, X-Y operation only.

A destination button selects a destination.

• NV9602 extension, limited X-Y mode only

A destination button can select one of two destinations. The first destination belongs to des­tination set 1 and the second destination belongs to destination set 2. Pressing a ‘Destina­tion Shift’ button (on the NV9602) toggles the panel between destination set 1 and set 2.

• NV9602 extension, multi-destination mode

Multi-destination mode applies only when the NV9604 is an NV9602 extension and the
NV9602 is in multi-destination mode. However, the NV9604 has no buttons that perform
multi-destination operations. When the NV9602 is in multi-destination mode, only the
NV9604’s salvo buttons are available.

25

Operation

Operating Concepts

S, B, X Previous Source

Any Salvo

Any 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.

The salvo button executes a system salvo immediately.

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

The nature of source buttons differs according to the panel’s configured operating mode:

• Stand-alone panel, single-destination operation or X-Y operation

A source button selects a source.

• NV9602 extension, single-destination, with or without breakaway, and limited X-Y modes

A source button can select one of two sources. The first source belongs to source set 1 and
the second source belongs to source set 2. Pressing a ‘Source Shift’ button (on the NV9602)
toggles the panel between source set 1 and set 2.

• NV9602 extension, multi-destination mode

Multi-destination mode applies only when the NV9604 is an NV9602 extension and the
NV9602 is in multi-destination mode. However, the NV9604 has no buttons that perform
multi-destination operations. When the NV9602 is in multi-destination mode, only the
NV9604’s salvo buttons are available.

26

Any 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.

NV9604

User’s Guide

It is possible that you will find one or more sources locked or protected because other control
panels can lock or protect sources and destinations. The NV9604 does not provide lock or protect
functions. An NV9604 cannot lock, unlock, protect, or unprotect any source or destination.

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.

Take s

The NV9604 can operate by itself as a stand-alone panel or as an extension to an NV9602. As an
extension to an NV9602, it operates according to the mode in which the NV9602 is configured.

Pressing a source button completes a take, in all cases. Following are brief instructions on how
to perform a take under 4 cases.

Case 1 — Stand-Alone Panel, Single-Destination Mode

The single destination is the one defined as the default destination. Takes all-level.

Press a source button to perform (and complete) a take.

Case 2 — Stand-Alone Panel, X-Y Mode

Takes all-level. Follow these steps:

1 Press a destination button.

2 Press a source button to perform (and complete) a take.

Case 3 — NV9602 Extension, Single-Destination Mode

Takes in single-destination mode are all-level. Follow these steps:

1 Verify that the default destination appears in the ‘Destination’ field of the NV9602 display.

2 Optionally press ‘Source Shift’ (on the NV9602) to toggle between the source sets.

3 Press a source button on the NV9602 or NV9604 to complete the take. The ‘Status’ field of

the NV9602 display shows the source you chose.

Case 4 — NV9602 Extension, Single-Destination Mode, Breakaway

Takes in single-destination mode with breakaway are meant to be on selected levels. Follow
these steps:

1 Verify that the default destination appears in the ‘Destination’ field of the NV9602 display.

2 Press one or more level buttons on the NV9602 to select the levels you want to route. The

levels that are available are those of the default destination. If your panel has a ‘None/All’
button, you can press that button to toggle between all levels being selected and no levels
being selected.

3 Optionally press ‘Source Shift’ (on the NV9602) to toggle between the source sets.

4 Press a source button on the NV9602 or NV9604 to complete the take. The ‘Status’ field of

the NV9602 display shows the source you chose.

27

Operation

Self-

test

Self-Test

 A take is all-level when all the level buttons are selected (high-tally) or when none of the

level buttons are selected.

 If your NV9602 has a ‘Hold’ button, you can use it to preserve the chosen breakaway levels

after the take. Hold “mode” is active when the hold button is high-tally. When hold mode is
inactive, the destination reverts to all levels after the take.

Case 5 — NV9602 Extension, Limited X-Y Mode

Takes in limited X-Y mode are all-level. Follow these steps:

1 Optionally press ‘Destination Shift’ (on the NV9602) to toggle between the destination sets.

2 Press a destination button on the NV9602 or NV9604 to start the take. The ‘Destination’ field

of the NV9602 display shows the destination you chose.

3 Optionally press ‘Source Shift’ (on the NV9602) to toggle between the source sets.

4 Press a source button on the NV9602 or NV9604 to complete the take. The ‘Status’ field of

the NV9602 display shows the source you chose.

Case 6 — NV9602 Extension, Multi-Destination Mode

Takes in multi-destination mode are all-level. Source buttons in multi-destination mode specify
the destination to which the source is routed. Follow these steps:

1 Optionally press ‘Source Shift’ (on the NV9602) to toggle between the source sets.

2 Press a source button on the NV9602 to complete the take. The ‘Status’ field of the NV9602

display shows the source you chose and the ‘Destination’ field of the display shows the des­tination assigned to that source.

 The NV9604 has limited use in multi-destination mode. Only its salvo buttons are usable.

Self-Test

You can perform a short test of the NV9604 when it is disconnected from its network and
powered up.

The panel powers up with 1 button illuminated in green. Here we call it the “self-test” button:

Press the self-test button to proceed to the color test. This test has 4 parts:

• All buttons turn low-tally amber.

• All buttons turn high-tally amber.

• All buttons turn low-tally green.

• All buttons turn high-tally green. This is an example:

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 NV9605 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 NV9605 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 NV9605’s tally interface. The tally

interface is called the “GPI Interface” at the rear of the NV9605.

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)
