Introduction
Alphanumeric Display
of ‘--------’ in the status or preset columns means that that particular level is not defined
for the destination. Therefore, no source selection for that level is possible. The
illustration above shows that levels HD and ‘TimeCode’ are not defined for VTR 1.
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 .
• 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 from the preset column and re-appear in the status column, reflecting
that the preset sources have now become current sources.
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.)
Flags
The display also shows flags of different kinds next to the sources and destinations.
Selection Marks
At the far right of the display are marks (rectangles) that turn on to indicate selections.
In X-Y mode, the marks turn on to indicate that a level is selected. They are not visible
otherwise. (The operator makes level selections using the selection buttons below the
display.)
In MD mode, a mark appears to the right of the currently selected destination (and of all the
currently selection destinations when the panel is in hold mode).
Other Signs
A plus sign (+) indicates that additional information is available. There is an ‘Info’ button
that operators may press to view the additional information.
In MD mode, an asterisk (*) directly after a source name indicates a breakaway on that
destination. In X-Y mode, an asterisk (*) directly after the destination name indicates a
breakaway on that destination.
An ‘L’ indicates that a device has been locked. A ‘P’ indicates that a device has been
protected. NV9601 operators may lock, protect or release sources and destinations if the
panel configuration allows it. It is important for operators to know that other operators may
lock, protect, or release sources and destinations.
