Operation
Buttons
X, M
Broadcast
A broadcast button applies to a data (or machine control) level only. The button assigns one
controlling device (the master) to multiple controlled devices (the slaves). The function is
useful in dubbing applications. See
for more information.
Pressing the ‘Broadcast’ button turns off the ‘Source is Master’ button and vice versa.
X, M
Chop
When a “chop” function is supported by a router, the button is a toggle that enables and
disables “chop.” Chop is a rapid switching of the current destination device between one
source and another source.
The chop function is used to test system timing and would
not
be used during normal
operation.
The use of the chop function varies according to the operating mode. See
X
Default State
The ‘Default State’ button returns the panel to its most recent power-up state. That is called
the
default state
. (It does not cause any changes to the routers, control system, or its
signals.)
X
Destination
The button selects a destination. The destination name appears in the ‘Destination’ display.
The destination is the target of an upcoming take, which will route a source to that
destination.
X, M
Destination Lock
This button is a toggle that sets or clears a
lock
on the current destination. The lock can be
removed at the panel that originally set the lock, at a panel that has the same user ID, or by
a forced release at any panel.
Unless your panel is configured for forced release, you cannot unlock or unprotect a
destination locked or protected by someone else. The display will show “NotOwner” briefly.
You cannot take a source to a locked destination. The display will read “Locked” and show
the user’s name.
Locks and protects apply to the currently selected destination in limited X-Y mode. They are
not available in multi-destination mode.
When you lock a destination, the ‘Destination Lock’ button goes high-tally amber. If you
have a ‘Destination Protect’ button, it will also go high-tally amber.
Locks can apply to selected levels in limited X-Y mode.
The NV9605 provides no explicit indication, during operation, whether a destination is
locked or unlocked.
