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.

2. Introduction

Modes of Operation

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.)

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:

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.

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.

4. Configuration

Chapter 4 provides configuration instructions for the NV9616 or NV9608. It presents the following
topics:

• Summary

• Adding a Panel to an NV9000 Configuration

• NV9616 Panel Configuration Page

• Commitment Buttons

• Panel Options

• Button Definitions

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.

4. 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.
