LCD Button Array

The NV9616 has 16 LCD button units. The NV9608 has 8. Each unit comprises a large LCD button and a small ‘Take’ button below the LCD button. The LCD buttons each have 3 lines of text (up to 8 characters per line). The lines of the button are labeled “S,” “P,” and “D” on the panel:

CAM100 VTR 20 MON 4

In multi-destination mode, the 3 lines of text display status (S), preset (P), and destination (D), respectively. If breakaway applies to that destination, the status apppears in reverse text. A button can display other messages in other contexts.

Under each LCD button is a smaller white ‘Take’ button. Pressing the take button executes a take for the selected destination. The methods for selecting destinations and sources for the take are different in X-Y mode and multi-destination (MD) mode.

The LCD button array represents:

• Destinations (in multi-destination mode). The panels provide support for up to 512 MD destinations. You can select different “pages” of destinations using the scroll buttons.

• Levels (in X-Y mode). The button at the top left represents the selected destination. The remaining 15 buttons (or 7 buttons on the NV9608) buttons represent the levels of the selected destination.

• Menu functions (in menu mode). Some of the LCD buttons execute menu functions.

• Salvos (in salvo mode). The panels provide support for system salvos and local salvos on multiple pages of salvo buttons. You can select a “page” of salvos using the scroll buttons.

2. Introduction

Panel Organization

Scroll Buttons

There are two scroll buttons (called ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ in the configuration software).

These buttons scroll either through pages of MD destinations or through pages of salvos. The scroll buttons page through levels if you have more than 15 (or 7) levels defined.

Scrolling of MD destinations wraps around at the ends of the MD destination list if ‘Use Continuous Scrolling’ is enabled. At the head of the list, ‘Page Up’ causes the last page to display. At the end of the list, ‘Page Down’ causes the first page to display. If ‘Use Continuous Scrolling’ is not enabled, the pages stop scrolling at the ends of the list.

Continuous scrolling is a panel default.

Continuous scrolling does not apply to the salvo list and does not apply to levels in X-Y mode.

Shortcut

In MD mode, the panel’s category buttons allow you to enter a page number for multi-destination devices, instead of scrolling. This is a convenience ‘Page Up’ button presses when you know the number of the page you want.

Note:

• The shortcut is available only when no category device selection is pending (in MD mode).

• Only category buttons that have single-digit suffixes are enabled.

• The shortcut is not available for salvo pages.

— a shortcut that lets you avoid ‘Page Down’ or

Function Buttons

The NV9616 and NV9608 have an array of 24 function buttons on the right.

Of those, 10 buttons, arranged like a telephone keypad, have fixed functions. These 10 buttons are “category” buttons, representing category mnemonics or category suffixes or both:

The ordering of suffixes and mnemonics on these fixed buttons is arbitrary. See Category Selection on page 35 for more information.

The other 14 function buttons can be assigned any available function.

The set of available functions (28) is the same in X-Y mode and MD mode.

NV9616 Control Panel • User’s Guide 7

2. Introduction

Modes of Operation

The panels can operate in one of 2 modes:

•X-Y mode.

• Multi-destination (MD) mode.

The panels can be configured so that either mode is selectable by the operator.

Multi-Destination Mode

The panel supports up to 512 MD destinations. The NV9616 displays 16 at a time on the LCD buttons. The NV9608 displays 8 at a time.

Operators perform a take by (optionally) scrolling to an MD page, pressing an LCD button to select a destination, selecting a source, and pressing the take button under the selected LCD button. The operator uses the function buttons to select a source. See Category Selection information.

In MD mode, the LCD buttons are generally green yellow when you have selected a source and red when you have locked or protected a destination.

Breakaway is not directly possible in MD mode, but when the operator performs breakaway in X-Y mode and then switches to MD mode, the destination(s) for which breakaway occurred show the device name in reverse text.

— and high-tally when selected. They become

X-Y Mode

The LCD buttons represent a single selected destination and the levels for that destination.

The destination appears on the top left LCD button (for the NV9616). On the NV9608, it is simply the left button. This button is generally amber. It also displays the text “X - Y” and “Dest” to remind operators that the panel is in X-Y mode. The button is red when the destination is locked.

The remaining LCD buttons show the levels. The level buttons are generally green when selected. Level buttons turn yellow when you have selected a source on those levels. If there are fewer levels than available buttons, the extra buttons are blank. If there are more levels than available buttons, the operator can scroll through the pages of levels using the scroll buttons. The destination button remains in its fixed position regardless of the page.

Breakaway is possible in X-Y mode. Operators may select the levels for which the take is to occur by pressing the individual LCD buttons that represent the levels. (Scrolling might be necessary to view all the levels.)

Operators perform a take by selecting a destination, (optionally) selecting levels, selecting a source, and pressing the take button under any of the selected LCD buttons. The operator uses the function buttons to select a source and to select a destination. See Category Selection information.

Other Panel Functions

Secondary Modes

Additional but secondary modes of panel operation are:

• Setup mode this mode, you can preset the panel ID and perform a few diagnostic tasks.

• Salvo mode the operator will choose a salvo on the LCD button, possibly scrolling to find the salvo. (The duration of a salvo is indeterminate, but usually short.)

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

• Source mode where the operator can use category and suffix buttons to select a source.

• Destination mode tion mode, where the operator can use category and suffix buttons to select a destination.

• Hold mode effect until the operator turns hold mode off. In MD mode, when hold mode is active, the operator may select multiple destinations.

• Save preset mode and load preset mode temporary mode in which you can name and save a preset selection. Pressing a ‘Load Preset’ button places the panel in a temporary mode in which you can select a saved preset selection.

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

Other Panel Functions

The NV9616 and NV9608 can be configured to perform the following additional functions:

• Previous source and free source.

• System salvos and local salvos.

• Lock/protect/release for destinations.

• Multiple- and single-level breakaway.

• Broadcast data routing.

• “Gang” takes.

Additional Control Panel Features

The panel supports gang switching in multi-destination mode. The operator may route single or multiple sources to multiple destinations in a single operation.

The LCD buttons can be green (for sources), amber (for destinations), yellow, or red. Each button provides three levels of tally: off, low, and high. Through the menu, high tally can be set at high or medium brightness and low tally can be set at low or medium brightness, where high tally is constrained to be brighter than low tally.

The panel’s 24 function buttons and two scroll buttons are backlit. The buttons can be green or amber. Each button provides three levels of tally: off, low, and high. (You can adjust the levels of

low and high tally, through the menu. LED brightness levels range from 0% to 100%, in 10% increments, with high tally constrained to be brighter than low tally.)

If you assign an X-Y/Multi-Destination button on your panel, it is a toggle: press it once to place the panel in X-Y mode and press it again to place the panel in multi-destination mode. (It turns green for X-Y mode and amber for multi-destination mode.)

3. Installation

Chapter 3 provides installation and connection instructions. It presents the following topics:

• Package Contents

• Installation

• Installing Software and Documentation

• Installation

• Testing

Package Contents

If you have ordered one or more NV9616 or NV9608 control panels from Miranda, inspect the shipping container for damage. If you find any container damage, unpack and inspect the contents. If the contents are damaged, notify the carrier immediately.

As you unpack the shipping container, look for the packing slip and compare it against the contents to verify that you received everything as ordered. If anything is missing (or if you find equipment damage unrelated to shipping), please contact technical support. Refer to Technical Support Con-

tact Information on page iii.

Depending on your order, the items that can ship include:

• One or more NV9616 or NV9608 control panels.

• One or two power supplies for each panel, with straps that secure the AC power cords to the power supplies.

• Optional WC0053 breakout cable.

The package does not contain network cables, serial cables, or mounting screws.

You do not need to take any special precautions regarding ESD.

This document does not address the shipment or installation of any other equipment or software that can be used in conjunction with the panel (including the NV9000 system controller, NV915 system controller, other NV96xx control panels, EC9700 GUI, EC9710 GUI, and configuration programs such as UniConfig or NV9000-SE Utilities).

This document does briefly address the use of NV9000-SE Utilities and the Panel IP Configuration Utility as they pertain to panel configuration.

Installation

Follow these steps to install a NV9616 or NV9608 control panel:

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

The NV9616 and NV9608 are 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 panel.

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 NV9616 or NV9608 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 panel to have a static IP address (with respect to the NV9000) or to use DHCP. The panel, as it comes from the factory, defaults to DHCP.

Initialization

Before your NV9000 system controller can communicate with your panel, you must give it a panel ID. Follow these steps for each NV9616 you are installing:

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

After a few seconds, the LCD buttons will show ‘Acquire IP Address’ on the seond button and the panel’s current panel ID on the first button. The right-hand button is designated the menu button:

NV9616 PANEL ID 0

After you enter the panel ID using the keypad, press ‘Save’. You can press ‘Cancel’ if you make a mistake. The panel returns to the menu, at which point you should click ‘Exit’.

4 The second LCD button should display ‘Acquire IP Address’ once again as in step 1.

5 When you finish, reconnect the Ethernet cable. The NV9000 system controller will detect your

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

You can now prepare an NV9616 or NV9608 configuration in NV9000-SE Utilities and upload the configuration to the NV9616 or NV9608. You need the panel ID to create a panel 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.

CANCEL

SAVE

Testing

A panel test function is available when the NV9616 or NV9608 is disconnected from the system controller. Run the test to determine the health of your panel. See Setup Mode You can also view the software version numbers under setup mode.

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

1 Do the buttons illuminate? When an NV9616 or NV9608 powers up, one or more of its buttons

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

2 When the NV9616 or NV9608 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 you continue to see “No Server,” “Acquire IP Address,” or “Locating Network,” you have a problem. Reboot everything and try again.

S The panel, by default, acquires its IP address through DHCP on the NV9000’s panel/router

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

NV9616 Control Panel • User’s Guide 13

on page 54 for detail.

3. Installation

Testing

If (in setup mode) you do not see your designated panel ID on the first LCD button, you have either not initialized the panel or no configuration has been created for your panel in NV9000SE Utilities.

3 Is the NV9000 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 perform

other operations?

You might want to consider how well your operator interface works in addition to the basic question of whether it works.

This chapter addresses configurers. Operators and other persons not interested in NV9616 configuration need not read this chapter.

Summary

The NV9616 and NV9608 are relatively complex panels. Both have 24 configurable function buttons and 2 dedicated scroll buttons. The NV9616 has 16 LCD button units; the NV9608 has 8.

Among the function buttons is a fixed set of 10 category buttons. You cannot configure these buttons as any other type of button. You can create additonal category buttons however. Category buttons provide category mnemonics or category suffixes, or both, and support device selection using categories and suffixes for sources and for destinations.

The panels have dedicated take buttons. The NV9616 has 16 and the NV9608 has 8. The take buttons are part of the LCD button units. They operate differently in X-Y mode and MD mode.

NV9000-SE Utilities is the software with which to configure the NV9616. Figure 4-1, following, shows the default NV9616 panel configuration page from NV9000-SE Utilities.

Adding a Panel to an NV9000 Configuration

You must create configurations for the NV9616 and NV9608 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.

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 page. The ‘Add Control Panel’ page appears:

Choose “NV9616” or “NV9608” from the ‘Type’ field. This illustration shows the addition of an NV9616. 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.

The NV9608 configuration page is functionally identical, but instead of showing 16 LCD button proxies, it shows only 8.

After you configure buttons the appearance of the panel buttons will have changed. The panel buttons on the configuration page will show legends, determined from the button type assigned to the button. (The actual panel’s 26 small buttons have removable clear plastic keycaps under which you can insert button legends, graphic or text, of your own design.)

Commitment Buttons

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 panel (NV9616 or NV9608).

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

At the left are the 16 (or 8) LCD button proxies. These represent either MD destinations or salvos. You can click the line of text in the middle of this section to toggle between MD destination entry and salvo entry. The text changes accordingly:

If you are configuring more than 16 (or 8) MD destinations, you must click the ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ button proxies to scroll to a different page to select those MD destinations. Similarly you can scroll through pages of salvo button definitions.

At the right are the 24 function buttons. The 10 yellow buttons are fixed category buttons. You cannot change the button type of these buttons. The other 14 function buttons are completely configurable.

Configuration Tasks

The person configuring an NV9616 or NV9608 panel will want to consider how best to use the buttons to support the devices and routers in the router control system at hand. The task is non-trivial.

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

• 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.

Checkbox Options

The checkbox options section is at the bottom of the panel options section:

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

By default, all the check box options are clear except ‘Use Continous Scrolling’.

Panel Options

The following items are the checkbox options:

• User-programmable ID.

• Hold preset default.

• Enable destination lock.

• Enable destination protect.

• Source master default.

• Hide sources not configured on this panel.

• Deselect all destinations and turn off hold after take.

• Jump to multi-dest selection when switching to XY.

• Flip-flop source to preset after take.

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

Makes “hold” mode active when the panel reverts to its default state (after a ‘Default State’ button is pressed, or when the panel is restarted).

S Note: a ‘Hold’ button is needed only when you want the operator to be able to view or

change the mode.

Check ‘Enable Destination Lock’ so that any ‘Destination Lock’ button on the panel will function.

Check ‘Enable Destination Protect’ so that any ‘Destination Protect’ button on the panel will function.

Makes a machine-control-level source the controlling device (or master device) by default. Otherwise, the destination is the master device 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. Regardless of the default, you can place a ‘Source is Master’ button on the panel.

S 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.

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.

After selecting many MD destinations (with ‘Hold’ mode on), it can be time-consuming to find them all (and no others) to deselect them after a take. When you enable this option, the NV9616 does exactly that (and turns off hold mode).

You should not check this option unless you configure the panel with a ‘Hold’ button so the operator can turn hold mode back on.

Makes the currently selected multi-destination device the preset destination when you switch from MD mode to X-Y mode.

If you check this box, the panel will lock the current MD destination page after the panel is idle for the timeout period.

To clear the lock, operators can press any enabled function button.

See Setting the Timeout Value

• Clear preset when going from low tally to high tally.

If you check this box, the panel lets the operator clear a preset (in MD mode only) by deselecting and reselecting a destination. When you deselect the destination, it goes low-tally, and when you reselect it, it goes high-tally.

This method does the same thing a ‘Clear’ button does, but it does not require a ‘Clear’ button. This might be advantageous if you want some other button in place of a ‘Clear’ button.

• Use continuous scrolling.

If you check this box, the panel scrolls MD destinations continuously. That is, the MD destination pages wrap around at the beginning and at the end of the page list.

The LCD buttons will show the first page in the list following the last when you are scrolling down, and will show the last page following the first if you are scrolling up.

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

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

Button Definitions

There are three classes of button functions:

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

• Variable functions, such as ‘Category’ or ‘Source’. With this type of button, additional selections are needed to complete the button configuration.

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

Button Specification

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

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.

Note During configuration, certain button fields contain a colon (:) and a 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.

A broadcast button is useful in dubbing applications or when a backup (redundant) device is in use. See Broadcast Routes

5. Operation

Chapter 5 provides operating instructions for the NV9616 and NV9608 control panels. It presents these topics:

• Summary

• Operating Concepts

• Salvo Mode

• Menu Mode

• Setup Mode

This chapter is intended specifically for the NV9616 panel operator.

Summary

As an NV9616 or NV9608 operator, you will be confronted initially with a relatively complex panel

—16 (or 8) LCD button units, 24 backlit function buttons, and 2 backlit scroll buttons.

The panel’s function 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 LCD buttons show the status of takes (pending or completed) under normal circumstances. The LCD buttons present information or menu items in certain cases.

At any particular time, some of the buttons are enabled or disabled. Some are high-tally; some are low-tally; and some might be undefined. Active function buttons are of two colors, green and amber. Active LCD buttons are green, amber, yellow, or red. (Red indicates a lock or a protect.)

S 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 panels can operate in one of 2 modes:

•X-Y mode.

• Multidestination mode.

The panels can be configured so that you can select either mode.

NV9616 Control Panel • User’s Guide 31

5. Operation

Summary

Multi-Destination Mode

The panel supports up to 512 MD destinations. The NV9616 displays 16 at a time on the LCD buttons. The NV9608 displays 8 at a time.

In MD mode, all the LCD buttons are normally green

— and high-tally green when selected. When

you preset a source for an MD destination, then the button turns yellow.

You can preset multiple MD destinations each, with its own source, and press ‘Gang Take’ to execute a simultaneous route to all selected destinations.

S The panel might be configured so that it becomes locked after a timeout period in MD mode. If

your panel times out, simply press any active function button to release the lock.

X-Y Mode

The LCD buttons represent a single selected destination and the levels for that destination.

The destination appears on the top left LCD button (for the NV9616). On the NV9608, it is simply the left button. This button is usually amber. It usually displays the text “X - Y” and “Dest” to remind you that the panel is in X-Y mode. It is red when the destination is locked (or when someone else has protected it).

The remaining LCD buttons show the levels. When the panel is in source mode, all the level buttons are green source for those levels. If there are fewer levels than available buttons, the extra buttons are blank. If there are more levels than available buttons, the operator can scroll through the pages of levels using the scroll buttons. The destination button remains in its fixed position regardless of the page.

When the panel is in destination mode (i.e., you are selecting a destination) all the LCD buttons are amber and high-tally when selected. This is a fairly obvious indication that the panel is in destination mode. In addition, the destination button (at the left or top left) shows the destination you are selecting on the top line of text. Because destination selection uses categories and suffixes, the pending destination name will appear partially completed as you continue to “build” the destination name using category/suffix buttons.

Breakaway is possible in X-Y mode. You may select the levels on which the take is to occur by pressing the individual LCD buttons that represent the levels. (Scrolling might be necessary to view all the levels.) You cannot select a level that does not apply to the selected destination.

Secondary Modes

Secondary modes are:

• Source mode

• Destination mode

• Setup mode this mode, the configurer can preset the NV9616’s panel ID and perform a few diagnostic tasks.

Usually, only configurers need be concerned with setup mode.

See Setup Mode

• Salvo mode that you will choose a salvo and then press the ‘Take’ button to execute the salvo. (The duration of a salvo is indeterminate, but usually short.)

• Menu mode 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.

Summary

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

Button Legends

There are about 26 different button functions. Typically, function buttons have graphic or textual 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 buttons are those that are disabled.

The legends on the LCD buttons change dynamically and represent different things in different contexts:

• In MD mode, the LCD buttons each represent a destination. All the LCD buttons work the same way. The top line of text is the current source for the destination. The middle line of text is the

NV9616 Control Panel • User’s Guide 33

Operating Concepts

preset source for the destination. The middle line of text is blank when you have not preset a source. The bottom line of text is the destination name.

• In X-Y mode, the top left button of the NV9616 represents the selected destination. Similarly, the left button of the NV9608 represents the selected destination. Any remaining buttons represent levels. Not all levels necessarily apply to the selected destination. Those that do apply can be selected and those that are selected are high-tally.

The text on the destination button varies. The top two lines usually read “X - Y” and “DEST” respectively. The bottom line is the destination name.

The top line of buttons that represent levels is the current source for that level. The middle line is the preset source for that level. The middle line of text is blank when you have not preset a source. The bottom line is the level name.

• In menu mode, the button text varies according to the button function.

• In salvo mode, the button text is the salvo name.

Operating Concepts

Levels

In the 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 level mapping.

The effect of this is that when you, the operator, choose a destination, the NV9000 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

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 both X-Y mode and multi-destination mode.

A hold button is also called a ‘Hold Preset’ button.

34 Rev 1.0 • 18 Aug 10

5. Operation

Operating Concepts

Breakaway

In X-Y mode, 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.

Multi-Destination Mode

In multi-destination mode, Hold retains destination selection(s) after a take.

Category Selection

Your panel has 10 fixed category buttons and perhaps other optional category buttons. The fixed category buttons are arranged like a telephone keypad:

Although their position is fixed, their functions are not.

Every category button can represent up to three items: a source category, a destination category, and a suffix. By pressing category buttons in succession, you can construct a device name.

A category button selects a source category immediately after you place the panel in source mode by pressing a ‘Source Mode’ button (or a ‘Src/Dst’ button).

A category button selects a destination category immediately after you place the panel in destination mode by pressing a ‘Destination Mode’ button (or a ‘Src/Dst’ button).

After you select a category, the category name appears as the first part of a device name you are building. The category buttons you press subsequently select suffixes which are appended to the device name you have built so far. As you continue to append suffixes, the category buttons that no longer apply to the name you are building become disabled. In fact, at some point all the category buttons might become disabled.

Suffixes may be numeric or alphanumeric, and up to 4 characters in length. Any device may have up to 8 suffixes. However, device mnemonics are limited to 8 characters. Therefore, the usual

—

and default — suffixes are just the numerals 0–9.

Example: you want to select the source device

CAM_12.

1 Press ‘Source Mode’ or ‘Src/Dst’

2 Press the category button that selects category

CAM_____.

3 Press the category button for suffix 1. The LCD button for this source shows

CAM. The LCD button for this source shows

CAM__1 or a simi-

lar name.

4 Press the category button for suffix 2. The LCD button for this source now shows

CAM_12.

At this point, you could press a ‘Clear’ button — as you would a backspace key — to erase the most recent entries in the name. If you press ‘Clear’ once, it would erase the “2” you just entered.

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 NV9616 pro- vides 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.”

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).

In X-Y mode, a destination lock disables destination protect for a particular destination.

In X-Y mode, the destination button turns red when the destination is locked or when the destination is protected by someone else. If you have protected the current destination, there is no color change.

In MD mode, the button for a destination that is locked or protected turns high-tally red, and the phrase “Locked by ‹user›” or “Protect by ‹user›” appears on the button when it is selected. When the locked destination is not selected, it is low-tally red and shows the source and destination names. In MD mode, the lock button does not disable the protect button, but nevertheless, you cannot protect a locked destination.

Takes

Following are brief instructions on how to perform a take under different scenarios.

Scenario 1 — X-Y Mode, All Level

1 (If required) switch to X-Y mode.

2 (If required) select a destination.

2 Select a destination.

(Optionally) scroll the MD pages to locate the destination of choice.

Press the destination’s LCD button.

S After pressing the destination’s LCD button, you can optionally assign a new destination to

3 Select a source

You can also press a dedicated source button if you have one for that source.

The LCD buttons for preset source levels turn yellow. The name of the source appears in the preset line of those LCD buttons.

4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have selected, and preset, all the destinations you want.

5 Press the ‘Gang Take’ button (among the function buttons).

The take buttons under the LCD buttons do not perform gang takes.

Gang Takes

Gang takes occur in MD mode only. However, the ‘Gang Take’ button will perform ordinary takes when your panel is in X-Y mode.

In MD mode, the ‘Gang Take’ button performs takes to multiple MD destinations (which have presets) simultaneously. The gang take is the only way to perform simultaneous takes.

In X-Y mode, the gang take button acts like an ordinary take button. It just executes the take that any of the dedicated take buttons in the LCD button array would execute.

Operating Concepts

Buttons

The NV9616 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 identifies a specific category. A source button identifies a specific source. A destination button identifies a specific destination.

• Special functions, such as ‘Menu’, ‘Page Up’, and ‘Page Down’.

At present, there are 26 button types, not including “undefined” which is not a true button type:

Broadcast

Category Gang Take Previous Source

Chop Hold Salvo

Clear Information Save Preset

Clear Preset Level Map Source

Default State Load Preset Source is Master

Destination Lock Menu Source Mode

Destination Mode Name Set Toggle Src/Dst Mode

Destination Protect Panel Lock XY/MD Mode

These button types are available in both X-Y mode and MD mode.

Free Source Preset Release

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

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

The default button text is “Broadcast” but a broadcast button can have any legend.

on page 46 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 selected destination device between the current source and the preset source.

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

The default button text is “Chop” but a chop button can have any legend.

Select a preset source and press ‘Chop’ to start the chop function. Press ‘Chop’ again to stop the chop function.

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.

(If you are in level mode or in salvo mode, ‘Clear’ brings you back to normal mode.)

Clear Preset

The ‘Clear Preset’ button removes the preset source from a pending take. (It does not cause any changes to the routers, control system, or its signals.)

The preset source names appear on the middle line of text of applicable LCD buttons. When you press ‘Clear Preset’, the middle line of text becomes blank.

Default State

The ‘Default State’ button returns the panel to its most recent power-up state. That is called the default state. (It does not cause any changes to the routers, control system, or its signals.)

Destination Mode

40 Rev 1.0 • 18 Aug 10

5. Operation

Operating Concepts

Destination devices are represented on the ‘Destination’ display.

Categories that include both source and destinations appear in both source mode and destination mode.

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.

In X-Y mode, the destination button (left or top left) turns red when you lock the destination. You must select at least one level on which to lock the destination. To unlock a destination, select exactly those levels and press ‘Destination Lock’ again. The button reverts to amber when it is unlocked on all levels.

S The panel provides no explicit indication, in X-Y mode, which levels are locked or unlocked.

In MD mode, the lock affects all selected MD destinations. The buttons for those destinations turn red and their legends read “Locked by ‹user›” where ‹user› is the user name assigned to your panel.

The button representing that destination on other users’ NV9616s or NV9608s turns red with the same legend.

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.

In X-Y mode, the destination button (left or top left) does not change color on your panel when you protect the destination. The same destination does however turn red on other users’ NV9616s or NV9608s (and on certain other panels in your NV9000 system). You must select at least one level on which to protect the destination. To unprotect a destination, select exactly those levels and press ‘Destination Protect’ again. The button reverts to amber on other panels when it is unprotected on all levels.

S The panel provides no explicit indication, in X-Y mode, of which levels are protected or unpro-

tected and in fact no indication of which destinations you have protected or unprotected.

In MD mode, the protect affects all selected MD destinations. The buttons for those destinations turn red and their legends read “Protect by ‹user›” where ‹user› is the user name assigned to your panel. The button representing that destination on other users’ NV9616s or NV9608s turns red with the same legend.

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

user who issued the lock

destination directly. You must first unlock it.

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.

NV9616 Control Panel • User’s Guide 41

5. Operation

Operating Concepts

Gang Take

When the panel is in MD mode, the ‘Gang Take’ executes a simultaneous take for all selected MD destinations.

When the panel is in X-Y mode, the gang take button acts like an ordinary take button.

Hold

The button is a toggle; press it once to place the panel in “hold mode.” Press it again to cancel “hold mode.” (The panel might or might not be configured to power up in hold mode.)

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

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. See Hold

The ‘Destination’ field of the display shows the most recently selected destination under hold mode.

The button definition has no fields to configure.

on page 35.

Information

An ‘Information’ button does nothing.

Level Map

The ‘Level Map’ button cross-connects levels (typically in the same physical router). The function is typically used to shuffle audio channels, for example, to connect AES1/2 to AES3/4.

Level mapping is possible only in X-Y mode.

Follow these steps to create a level mapping:

1 Select a destination and preset a source. The ‘Level Map’ button becomes enabled.

2 Press ‘Level Map’. The button goes high-tally and the destination button tells you to “Select

Source Level.”

Press a level button.

3 The destination button now reads “Select Dest Level.”

Press another level (selection) button.

4 At this point, the level mapping is complete. The source level is mapped to the destination

level. The source level appears in the preset line of the button assigned to the destination level.

5 Finally, press ‘Take’.

You can create multiple level mappings. Level mappings are typically used for AES levels.

The level map mode is cancelled when the next normal take is performed involving the selected devices.

Load Preset

The ‘Load Preset’ button creates a preset for MD destinations using one of the presets the operator saved with a ‘Save Preset’ operation. See Saving and Loading Presets

The button does not operate in X-Y mode.

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.

S ‘Name Set Toggle’ buttons are disabled while a category selection is in progress.

S The panel requires that category/suffix device selection be performed using the names in the

system name set. However, it displays the device you selected using the active name set. We recommend that you switch to the system name set prior to category/suffix device selection and return to your preferred name set afterward.

on page 49.

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.

Preset Release

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.

Previous Source

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.

Operating Concepts

Save Preset

The ‘Save Preset’ button becomes enabled, in MD mode only, when you have selected a preset (or multiple presets) for a destination (or multiple destinations). When the operator presses ‘Save Preset’ the panel enters a “save preset” mode where the operator may enter a name under which the preset will be saved and which can be used later if the operator presses a ‘Load Preset’ button. See

Saving and Loading Presets

The button does not operate in X-Y mode.

on page 46.

Source

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

Selecting a source activates the ‘Take’ button, which you must press to complete the route.

Source Mode

The button places the panel in source mode. Category selections in source mode select source devices. Category buttons that are not source categories become disabled in source mode.

Categories that include both source and destinations appear in both source mode and destination mode.

In source mode, a category selection appears at the beginning of the ‘Preset’ display.

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 46.

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.”

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

on page 46.

Src/Dst Mode

The button toggles between source and destination modes. Category selections in source mode select source devices. Category selections in destination mode select destination devices.

Operating Concepts

XY/MD Mode

The button toggles the panel between X-Y mode and MD mode.

Undefined

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

Name Sets

NV9000-SE Utilities allows configurers to define multiple name sets. Each name set contains aliases (alternate names) for any and all devices in the NV9000 system. The aliases 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.

Device selection using categories and suffixes requires that you enter device names using the sys-

tem name set. However, the display shows the device name as it is represented in the active name set.

For example, suppose the system name for a destination is “VTR_42” and its alias is “Prod_A.” Follow these steps to select the device using category selection:

1 Switch to destination mode if necessary.

2 Press a VTR category button. (Suffix buttons become enabled.)

3 Press 4, then 2. The device is selected, but the name appearing in the destination display is

“PROD_A.”

In this example, you could press the ‘Name Set Toggle’ button a number of times to see that PROD_A and VTR_45 are, in fact, the same device.

If you are using aliases, we recommend that you switch to the system name set during device selection and switch back to your preferred name set afterward.

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

Broadcast Routes

It is easy and normal to route a source to multiple destinations for audio and video routers. 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.

During broadcast, the source device controls one or more destination devices.

Making Broadcast Routes

Follow these steps to broadcast control signals:

1 Ensure that the panel is in “source is master” mode. It is either in “source is master” mode by

default or you must press a ‘Source is Master’ button to activate the mode. The mode is active when the ‘Source is Master’ button is high-tally.

2 Select a destination and preset a source. Then press the ‘Take’ button.

3 Press the ‘Broadcast’ button.

4 Select another destination and preset the same source. Then press the ‘Take’ button.

5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 to add other machines to the set of controlled devices.

Implicit in the ‘Broadcast’ button is the “source is master” mode. It is not necessary to press ‘Source is Master’ repeatedly. The reason you must press ‘Source is Master’ the first time is that “broadcast mode” is not yet active.

Removing Broadcast Routes

To cancel a route, route the source to another destination normally.

To remove a destination from the set of broadcast destinations, route another source (e.g., the free source) to the destination.

Saving and Loading Presets

S This capability is not available for the NV915, although it is fully supported by the NV9000.

The NV9616 and NV9608 allow you to save complex multi-destination presets and retrieve them when needed. The ‘Save Preset’ and ‘Load Preset’ buttons are available for this purpose.

The concept of saving and reloading presets applies to MD mode only.

The ‘Save Preset’ button is enabled when you have selected at least one preset for at least one destination. Press the button to enter “save preset” mode in which you can name and save the presets.

When you press a load preset button, you can select the name of a saved preset and it will “load.” That means that all the destinations which you had selected and saved become selected once again and the sources that you had preset for these destinations become preset once again.

How to Save a Preset

1 (If required) switch to MD mode.

2 Select a destination and preset a source. Repeat, for any other destinations.

Glossary

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

tions.

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.

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

terized by a controlling device and controlled device(s). The NV9616 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 NV9616’s tally interface. The tally inter-

face is called the “GPI Interface” at the rear of the NV9616.

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 config-

form functions such as (1) forced release on a control panel that is configured for normal release or (2) changing the ID of a control panel.

Port A port is the physical connection on a router. A port can only be an input port or an output port.

Primary level The primary level is the virtual level on a device with the lowest display index in the level set. Note

that virtual levels that do not exist on a device cannot be the primary level for that device.

Salvo A salvo is a stored group of commands that can be recalled and executed at a NV9000 control

panel.

The term “source device” is used interchangeably with “source” and the term “destination device” is used interchangeably with “destination.” A source is a device that is connected to one or more input ports. A destination is a device that is connected to one or more output ports. An example of such a device would be a monitor.

A device can be both a source and destination. An example of such a device is a VTR.

Each suffix consists of 1–4 alphanumeric characters. The NV9000 router control system allows up to 8 suffixes in a single device selection.

from a video reference signal. The AES routers perform certain functions when in “synchronous” mode, namely (1) outputting an AES stream at 48kHz, and (2) switching mono channels.

The system administrator is the person responsible for installing, configuring, and maintaining a router control system.

(2) Tally interface to be defined.

els. Within a physical level, any port can be mapped to any virtual level. For example, an AES matrix could be divided into AES 1/2 and AES 3/4 virtual levels.

X-Y (mode) A mode on a control NV9000 control panel that switches one destination at a time, in contrast to

multi-destination mode. In X-Y mode, some panels can display the virtual levels for the selected destination. Operators using those panels can perform breakaway level selection and level mapping.

Setting the Timeout Value

The NV9616 has panel options that use a timeout value. You can set the timeout value in NV9000SE Utilities. Choose the ‘SysParams’ table from the ‘Tables’ folder under the ‘Views’ navigation pane. Click ‘Add’ and enter a timeout value as shown:

7. Misc. Topics

Setting the Timeout Value

Figure 7-1. SysParams Table (in NV9000-SE Utilities)

The name of the parameter must be exactly as you see it here. The timeout value (expressed in seconds) must be a non-negative value. A suggested value is 120 seconds (two minutes) or more. The default timeout value is 30 seconds.

S The timeout value applies to all panels in your NV9000’s panel and router network.

S If you do not add a timeout value to the ‘SysParams’ table, the timeout period will be the

default of 30 seconds.
