Panel Organization
Function Buttons
The NV9603 has an array of 30 function buttons on the left and 4 function buttons on the
right.
Each button has three operational levels: high and low tally (green or amber), and off.
Operators can adjust the low tally levels in increments of 10% using the panel’s menu.
Buttons that are turned off are said to be “dark.” (Physically, they are actually white or gray.)

Generally, green represents a source or a source function and amber represents a desti-
nation or a destination function.
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.
Alphanumeric Display
The display has 3 display fields.
Display Fields
The display has 3 fields of 8 characters:
• Status.
The ‘Status’ field always shows the source that was routed to the currently selected
destination, which is identified in the ‘Destination’ field.
