Panel Organization Modes of Operation Other NV9654 Functions

The NV96541 is a hierarchical control panel featuring 54 LCD function buttons (illuminated in various colors and having 1 to 3 lines of text). The panel can be configured in either of two behavioral modes:

• All-Button mode

• ‘Display and Button’ mode

Under ‘Display and Button’ mode, the left-most 15 buttons function as an alphanumeric display. These buttons display the same information as some other panels that have displays, such as the NV9640. Under this mode, the panel operator can turn the “display” on and off. When the display is off, the 15 buttons can have other configured functions.

Under ‘All-Button’ mode, the panel provides no display. Note that under ‘Display and Button’ mode, the panel has 3 additional button functions that relate to the display.

The panel can operate in X-Y mode or in multi-destination (MD) mode. Operators can switch between modes at any time.

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

Panel Organization

At the rear, in addition to power, serial, and network connectors, is a 25-pin GPIO (i.e., tally) connector that supports 4 optically isolated relay outputs and 8 optically isolated inputs:

Fig. 2-2: NV9654 Rear

The NV9654 is a compact unit, being 2RU and having an overall depth of 3.2”.

The NV9654 provides a tree-structured (or hierarchical) button layout. Configurers can define a “tree” of button pages in such a way that each of the 54 LCD buttons can either (1) execute a function or (2) select a subtree (i.e., present an entirely new set of functions at a different level in the tree). The tree, with its subtrees, is not limited in size.

We use the term “button page” or “page” to mean the set of 54 button functions at any particular place in the tree. A panel that is configured in ‘Panel and Button’ mode shows the “display” only on the top level page of the button “tree.”

Configurers will use ‘Navigate’ buttons to create new button pages (subtrees). During operation, NV9654 users will press a ‘Navigate’ button to access a subtree. However, ‘Navigate’ buttons are typically not labeled “Navigate”; they would be labeled according to the specific function they perform in your system.

The panel can also display predefined button pages. For instance, a “category” button, when pressed, can display one or more pages of sources or destinations through which the operator may browse. A “menu” button presents a page of (pre-defined) menu options.

Panel Organization

Function Buttons

The NV9654 has an array of 54 LCD buttons. Each button has 1, 2, or 3 lines of text, 8 characters per line. When there are one or two lines of text, the characters are large; when there are 3 lines of text, the characters are smaller. (One or all of the lines of text might be blank). The buttons can display one of seven colors dynamically: nominally red, green, blue, purple, amber, yellow, or grey. We say a button is “dark” when its LCD is turned off.

During configuration, you can assign any of the 7 colors to a button.

Each LCD button has four levels of brightness: off, low, medium, and high, and supports three operational levels: high tally, low tally, and off. High tally can be either medium or high brightness and low tally can be either low or medium brightness. High tally is always constrained to be brighter than low tally. We say a button is “dark” when its LCD is turned off. See LCD Buttons page 93, for a color chart.

Although you can see a list of the pages in the tree during configuration, the structure of the tree is not evident on the panel itself. The panel operator must commit the tree structure to

memory to be able to use the panel. It is up to the person configuring the panel to design a usable tree structure.

Some buttons functions are assigned by the system depending on the context. For example. if a button page is to represent all sources in a category, and that list changes, the button subtree adjusts in size dynamically. The panel software adds a “forward” button and a “back” button if there are more sources than buttons. Pressing the ‘Forward’ button takes you to the next page of sources. Pressing the ‘Back’ button takes you to the previous page of sources.

Some button states depend on context. Many buttons remain unlit when their functions are disabled. For example, ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ buttons remain unlit until there is an opportunity to scroll up or down, respectively. By default, an XY/MD button turns green for X-Y mode and amber for multi-destination mode.

The LCD buttons display a menu if the operator presses a menu button. When the operator make a menu selection, the panel displays viewable data on the LCD buttons. In some cases, the operator can enter data (such as panel ID or LCD brightness) using buttons that allow data entry.

Configurers can define ‘Selection’ buttons that select a level or an MD device. (They must do so if the operator is to make such selections.)

Scrolling is necessary when a list of items

— for instance, levels or MD devices — exceeds the

number of buttons available for the items. Panels that use multi-destination mode will probably require ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ buttons.

Alphanumeric Display

The panel can be configured in ‘All-Button’ mode or ‘Display and Button’ mode. In ‘Display and Button’ mode, the left-most 15 buttons (a 5×3 array) form an alphanumeric display. (These buttons therefore provide a 40×9 matrix of characters.) The panel operator has the option of turning the display on or off. When the display is off, the 15 buttons can have other functions.

In ‘All-Button’ mode, the display is not present. In ‘Display and Button’ mode, the display is available only in the top-level button page.

The alphanumeric display provides real-time feedback for the operators as they make selections to execute takes and other operations. The panel functions in two modes: X-Y or multi-destination. The display changes according to those modes. This is an example for X/Y mode:

Fig. 2-3: X/Y Mode

This is an example for multi-destination mode:

Fig. 2-4: Multi-Destination Mode

In either case, the display has 9 lines (1 header and 8 lines of information) and its buttons are white. Operators might need to scroll the display to see additional information. (‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ buttons can be used to scroll the display.

(It is with the ‘Toggle Display’ button that the operator hides or reveals the display.)

Display Fields

The display has 5 columns:

• Information (the left-most column, which has no heading).

The first entry in this column is either “X - Y” or ‘MultiDest” unless the panel is in salvo mode, menu mode, or setup mode. See chapter 5 for those topics.

The bottom-most entry in this column is always the page number of the display, which can scroll.

In X-Y mode, the second entry is always the word “Dest” as a title for the third entry which identifies the destination currently selected. In Figure 2-3, the current destination is VTR--1.

In MD mode, there are no entries in this column other than the word “MultiDes” and the page number.

• Preset.

The preset column indicates what source will be routed to a destination when the operator presses the ‘Take’ button.

In X-Y mode, the preset column represents the levels of a source or the levels of multiple sources under breakaway. These are called the preset source(s). After the take, they disappear from the preset column and re-appear in the status column, reflecting that the preset sources have now become current sources.

In MD mode, the preset column indicates the sources that will be routed to selected destinations in the ‘Level/Dest’ column. These are the preset source(s). After the take, they disappear

NV9654

User’s Guide

from the preset column and re-appear in the status column, reflecting that the preset sources have now become current sources.

• Status.

The status column indicates what source(s) have been routed to the currently selected destination.

In X-Y mode, the status column represents the levels of a source or the levels of multiple sources under breakaway. These are called the current source(s).

In MD mode, the status column represents the sources routed to each of the destinations in the ‘Level/Dest’ column. Again, these are the current sources.

• LVL /DST.

(This stands for “level/destination.”)

In X/Y mode, this column identifies the levels of the currently selected destination. That destination is identified in first column, the information column. In Figure 2-3, ‘VTR 1’ is selected. Operators might need to scroll to see or select a level.

In MD mode, the ‘Level/Dest’ column presents all the MD devices (destinations) defined in the NV9654 configuration. (Actual destinations are defined in the NV9000 system configuration.) Operators might need to scroll to see or select a destination.

• S-I-L-B (Attributes).

This column represents 4 attributes of the levels or destinations present in the ‘LVL/DST’ column:

“S” stands for selected. An asterisk (*) in the “S” column means that the associated level (or destination) is selected. A blank space in the “S” column means that the level (or destination) is not selected.

In X-Y mode, an “*” indicates that a level is selected. In MD mode, an “*” indicates that an MD device is selected.

“I” stands for information. An asterisk in the “I” column means that the additional information regarding the associated level or destination is available. Press an ‘Information’ button to view the information.

“L” is the heading for locks and protects. An “L” in the “L” column means that the associated level (or destination) is locked. A “P” in the “L” column means that the associated level (or destination) is protected. A blank space in the “L” column means that the level (or destination) is neither locked nor protected.

 NV9654 operators may lock, protect or release destinations. It is important for operators

to know that other operators may lock, protect, or release sources and destinations.

 When we say a level is locked (or protected), we really mean that the currently selected

detination is locked on that level.

“B” stands for breakaway. In X/Y mode, an asterisk in the “B” column means that the associated level is a breakaway level. A blank space in the “B” column means that the level is not a breakaway level. In MD mode, an asterisk indicates a breakaway on the associated destination.

The display fields can show either names from a name set or system mnemonics for devices depending on (1) the state of the ‘Name Set Toggle’ button (if the panel has one), (2) the default name set (3) the existence of name sets in the NV9000 configuration. (An “alias” is a name defined in a name set.) See Panel Options

on page 21.

Introduction

Modes of Operation

Tally Interface

At the rear of the panel is a DB25 connector that provides 8 tally inputs and 4 tally outputs. (The outputs are solid state relay outputs.) Both inputs and outputs are optically isolated.

During configuration, you can construct expressions of Boolean logic that switch the outputs on or off. The terms of the logic expressions are states of the source and destination devices, etc., controlled by the NV9000 control system.

During configuration, you can define NV9654 behavior that will follow the tally inputs.

What you connect to the tally interface is, of course, up to you. Grass Valley provides a breakout cable (WC0053) for the tally connector

The NV9000-SE Utilities on-line help calls the tally interface a GPIO interface. On the rear of the panel, it is labelled a “GPI interface.”

See chapter 6, GPIO

Modes of Operation

The panel operates in either X-Y mode or multi-destination (MD) mode. The panel has a button type (XY/MD) that toggles between the modes. A third mode destination,” or “button-per-source” mode

The primary modes of operation are:

• X-Y mode — control of individual router levels. Choose a destination, optionally choose

desired breakaway levels, choosing source(s), and press ‘Take’ to complete a desired route.

• Multi-destination mode — lets you control multiple destinations. The LCD buttons display

destinations and sources. You can scroll through destination lists using the ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ buttons. Select a destination using selection buttons, choose a source, and repeat for all desired routes. Then press ‘Take’. Takes in MD mode are “all level,” and breakaways cannot be performed.

 A ‘Hold’ button allows you to select many MD destinations at once.

• Single-destination mode.

Single-destination” mode is not a distinct mode, but we mention it here because it is a mode on some other panels and can be simulated on the NV9654. It can be combined with the other two modes. You can create many different forms of “single-destination” mode.

To understand single-destination mode, you must understand the different button types. Please read the Configuration and Operation chapters and then see Single-Destination

Mode (page 41).

The secondary modes of panel operation are:

• Setup mode — where the NV9654 is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the net-

work. In this mode, you can preset the NV9654’s panel ID and perform a few diagnostic tasks.

• Salvo mode — pressing a Salvo button (and then the ‘Take’ button) executes a salvo. (The

duration of a salvo is indeterminate.)

• Menu mode — pressing a Menu button places the NV9654 in “menu” mode. In menu mode,

the panel’s button array becomes a menu that changes as needed during menu operation.

— as a purchase option.

, on page 81, for complete detail.

— called “single-bus,” “single-

— can be emulated in either X-Y mode or MD mode.

Other modes of operation are:

• Hold mode — when you press the ‘Hold’ button, hold mode becomes active and when you

press it again, hold mode becomes inactive. See Hold

• Save preset mode — when you press the ‘Save Preset’ button, ‘Save Preset’ mode becomes

active and when you press it again, ‘Save Preset’ mode becomes inactive. See Save Preset page 62.

Other NV9654 Functions

The NV9654 can be configured to perform the following additional functions:

• Previous source, free source, “quick” source, and immediate source/destination selection.

• Return to a pre-defined (or default) state.

• Hold breakaway levels.

• System salvos.

• Lock/protect/release for destinations.

• Forced release of locked or protected devices.

• Device selection using indexes or suffixes.

NV9654

User’s Guide

on page 59.

The NV9654 provides the following additional features:

• The NV9654 supports multiple-level breakaways in X-Y mode. This lets you route multiple

sources to the same destination on different levels.

• The panel supports gang or dub switching in multi-destination mode.

• Broadcast data routing in X-Y mode.

• Level mapping.

• Button page “templates”— global navigation templates and suffix templates — for easier

configuration.

Package Contents

If you have ordered one or more NV9654 control panels from Grass Valley, 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 Grass

Valley Technical Support on page 107.

Depending on your order, the NV9654 items that can ship include:

• One or more NV9654 control panels.

• One or two power supplies for each NV9654, 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 NV9654 (including the NV9000 system controller, NV915 system controller, NV915 system controller, other NV96xx control panels, EC9700 GUI, EC9710 GUI, and configuration programs such as UniConfig, MRC, or NV9000-SE Utilities).

Installation

Follow these steps to install a NV9654 control panel:

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

The NV9654 is designed to mount in a 19” rack. Rack-mounting is not a requirement.

Place the panel in position in your rack. Attach the panel to the rack frame, using screws appropriate for your rack. The panel’s mounting slots are spaced 3.00” (76.2mm) vertically and allow approximately 1/8” (3mm) of movement horizontally.

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 NV9654.

3 Connect one or both power supplies. First connect the 4-pin connector to PS1 or PS2 on the

rear of the router. The connectors are keyed and snap into place. There is only one way they fit. Do not force them. Then connect the power supply to AC power.

A second power connection is for redundancy only (protection against failure) and is not a requirement for operation.

Refer to Power Specifications

Power Cord Retention

on page 87 for details on the PS0001 power supply. See also

on page 93.

4 Connect tally (GPIO) input devices and output devices at the DB25 GPI connector.

You can use the optional WC0053 breakout cable to make these connections.

See chapter 6, GPIO, on page 81 for detail regarding the tally interface.

Installing Software and Documentation

This document is available through the Grass Valley web site.

You must use NV9000-SE Utilities to configure the NV9654 control panel. Contact Grass Valley if you need to obtain the latest version of this NV9000 configuration software.

You may use the Panel IP Configuration Utility if you want to your NV9654 to have a static IP address or to use DHCP. The panel, as it comes from the factory, defaults to DHCP.

Before your NV9000 system controller can communicate with an NV9654, you must give it a panel ID. Follow these steps for each NV9654 you are installing:

1 Power up the NV9654. Do not connect its Ethernet cable. (Disconnect it if it is connected.)

2 Press the ‘Menu’ button to enter the menu. The menu button now displays ‘Exit’. At any time

3 Find and press ‘Enter Panel ID’ among the panel buttons on the left.

NV9654

User’s Guide

After a few seconds, the alphanumeric display will show ‘No Server’ at the top and show the panel’s current panel ID. The 2 left-most buttons and the right-most button in the top row now read:

during this process, you can press the exit button to “back out of” the process. You might have to press it more than once.

4 After you press ‘Enter Panel ID’, the panel illuminates 10 “digit” buttons at the left end of the

top row of buttons. Press the digits of your intended panel ID

— up to 8 digits. The digits you

enter appear on the button next to the ‘Clear’ button at the right. If you make an error, press the ‘Clear’ button to start over.

5 Then press the ‘Save’ button (on the right) to save the ID, or press the ‘Clear’ button to dis-

card the ID.

The new panel ID does not appear until you exit the menu after saving.

6 You may use any other menu function at this time. When you are finished, press the ‘Exit’

button (which reappears) to leave the menu.

7 After you designate the panel ID, reconnect the Ethernet cable. The system controller will

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

You can now prepare an NV9654 configuration in NV9000-SE Utilities and upload the configuration to the NV9654. You need the panel ID to create a NV9654 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. The panel might be a physical panel or a virtual panel. If no actual panel has that ID, the upload cannot occur.

Installation

Testing

As shown above in step 3, a panel test function is available when the NV9654 is disconnected from the system controller. The test determine the “health” of the buttons of your NV9654. See

Setup Mode

installed software and firmware.

These are points to consider after you install your NV9654 control panel(s):

1 Do the buttons illuminate? When an NV9654 powers up, its two leftmost LCD buttons are

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

2 When the NV9654 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 that configuration should light in the colors appropriate for the top-level button page of that configuration.

If you continue to see “No Server,” “Acquiring IP Address,” or “Locating Network” on button 2, you have a problem. Reboot everything and try again.

 The NV9654, by default, acquires its IP address through DHCP on the NV9000’s panel/

If (in setup mode) you do not see your designated panel ID on the top left button, you have either not initialized the panel or no configuration has been created for your panel in NV9000-SE Utilities.

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

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

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

specified panel?

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

form other operations?

The design of an NV9654 “operator interface” is non-trivial. You might want to consider how well your operator interface works in addition to the basic question of whether it works.

on page 78 for detail. Press the ‘Software Versions’ button to review the versions of

Summary

The NV9654 has a “multi-page” user interface. Each of its 54 buttons (illuminated in various colors and having 3 lines of text) can either (1) execute a function or (2) select another button page (i.e., present another set of functions). The number of different button pages is not limited. Panel operators navigate to different button pages to perform different tasks.

We say that the user interface is tree-structured (or hierarchical) although it is not always a “tree” in the strictest sense. (It is possible to construct a tree-like graph of the button pages.)

Fifteen of the NV9654’s buttons — a 5×3 button array at the left of the panel — can optionally be configured as an alphanumeric display that presents the status of operations as they occur. An NV9654 configuration typically provides ‘Page Up’ button and ‘Page Down’ buttons with which the operator can scroll the display. The operator can turn the display on and off.

At the rear of the panel, a DB25 connector supports 8 tally inputs and 4 tally outputs.

NV9000-SE Utilities is the software with which to configure the NV9654. Figure 4-1, following, shows the default NV9654 panel configuration page from NV9000-SE Utilities.

Adding a Panel to an NV9000 Configuration

You must create configurations for the NV9654 using NV9000-SE Utilities. We assume that you are familiar enough with NV9000-SE Utilities that you can understand the following material. It is not difficult material, but some of the concepts might not be familiar to everyone.

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

Configuration

Adding a Panel to an NV9000 Configuration

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

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

Choose “NV9654” from the ‘Type’ field. In the ID field, enter the panel ID you assigned to the panel while it was in setup mode. 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.

Return to the ‘Control Panels’ page to view your new entry. To edit an NV9654 configuration, either double-click its list entry or select the entry and then click ‘Edit Selected Control Panels’:

You will then see the panel configuration page for the selected NV9654.

The following section of this guide discusses using the panel configuration page in which you configure an NV9654.

 The entries in the control panel list can be (1) actual panel configurations (2) global naviga-

tion templates or (3) global “suffix” templates. See Global Navigation

on page 44.

NV9654 Panel Configuration Page

This is the default NV9654 panel configuration page in NV9000-SE Utilities:

Fig. 4-1: NV9654 Configuration Page (Default, All Buttons Mode)

Similar pages exist for NV9654 suffix templates and global navigation templates. See Global

Navigation on page 44.

Figure 4-1 shows the default panel configuration page, which has no buttons defined. After you configure buttons, and button pages, the appearance of the panel buttons will have changed.

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.

The ‘Save and Close’ button, also at the bottom, dismisses the configuration page in addition to saving the configuration changes.

User’s Guide

The previous ilustration showed the configuration page set up for ‘All Buttons’ mode. The panel can also be configured in ‘Display and Buttons’ mode, in which case the “display” section of the button matrix is delineated by a white line on the page:

The display section is the 5×3 array of buttons at the left.

Regions of the Configuration Page

T here are 5 main regions:

• The NV9654 panel image.

The NV9654 has 54 LCD buttons in an 18×3 array. Click on a button to assign a function to it. In some cases, you can click or double-click a button to execute the button function. Double-clicking a ‘Navigate’ button, for instance, causes the button’s “subpage” to appear.

Buttons can be illuminated in several colors: green, amber, yellow, red, blue, purple, and grey. There are 3 levels of illumination: high tally (bright), low tally (muted) and off. Undefined buttons are turned off (dark) on the actual panel and are gray in the configuration page.

Buttons in the 5×3 display section are always white (if the display is enabled). Operators can turn the display on and off. Configurers may assign button functions to the buttons of the display section for those occasions when the operator has turned the display off.

 The display is available only at the top-level page of the button tree.

 Buttons disabled during operation have text, but are dark on the control panel. Unde-

fined buttons are dark and have no text.

• Button definition section.

In this section, configurers make button assignments, using its pull-down menus and text fields. It is here that the button captions are defined and the button color is specified. (For some button types, you cannot define a caption. The button text is defined by the system.)

• Button page table.

This section ual pages of the tree structure. The button page at the top of the list (or root of the tree) is called “Default.”

During operation, category buttons can display device subpages when pressed. Those subpages are not explicitly definable in NV9000-SE Utilities. The button page list does not display the device subpages accessed through category buttons. Category buttons can also display suffix pages when pressed. Suffix pages are included in the button page table.

See Button Page List

• GPIO definitions.

In this section, configurers may define GPIO logic. The control panel has a rear connector that provides 4 relay outputs and 8 optically isolated inputs. See GPIO information. (Note that the graphical buttons represent connector terminals and not actual buttons.)

• Panel options.

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

Configuration Tasks

The person configuring an NV9654 panel will want to consider how best to use the hierarchical nature of the button tree 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.

• Create pages (subtrees) of buttons. (Do this using the Navigation button type).

• Define logic for some or all of the tally inputs and outputs.

A configuration should lead the operator through required tasks. It is possible to make navigation through the tree structure of panel operations intuitive through the judicious use of color and text on the LCD buttons.

The configurer must keep in mind that the operator generally cannot view the entire button tree at a glance.

The configurer must also keep in mind that the operator must be able to reach any page in the tree. In particular, the operator, having navigated down a subtree, must have some way to navigate back up the subtree. There are several ways to ensure this. Two are listed here:

• Place a “Back” button on each subpage. The “back” button causes the NV9654 to redisplay

the previous page.

• Place a “Navigate” button on each page, where the navigate button causes the NV9654 to

display a specific page.

 The operator can always return from system-generated pages (e.g., device lists) using the

‘back’ button.
