Panel Organization
Function Buttons
The NV9601 has an array of 8 function buttons on the left and 28 function buttons on the
right.
Function buttons either select sources and destinations or perform certain other functions
such as locking a destination or switching to the menu.
Each button has three operational levels: high and low tally (green or amber), and off.
Operators can adjust the illumination levels in increments of 10% using the panel’s menu.
Buttons that are turned off are said to be dark. (Their material is actually white or light gray.)

Generally, green represents a source or a source function and amber represents a desti-
nation or a destination function. However, amber and green can represent other
functions too.
The function buttons each have clear plastic keycaps under which you may place plastic
inserts for button legends. It is a simple matter to change button legends.

Scroll Buttons
The NV9601 has 2 dedicated scroll buttons. These scroll the display up and down. A scroll
button is illuminated when scrolling is possible in that direction and dark when scrolling is
not possible.

1. The NV9601V (virtual panel) has automatically generated button legends. For instance, a source
button’s legend is the source name. Depending on the operating mode, the source button might
have up to 3 lines of text.
