User’s Guide
“Source is master” is used for duplication, or broadcast routing, on the control level. “Desti-
nation is master” is for machine-to-machine editing. If you do not select the “source master
default” option, you can place a ‘Source is Master’ button on the panel.
 Note: a ‘Source is Master’ button is a toggle that reverses the direction of data routing
for devices used in data (control) level takes.
•
Hide sources not configured on this panel.
Causes the names of source devices that are not presently configured for this particular
panel to be effectively hidden. When another panel changes the source to one not config-
ured for this panel, this panel displays asterisks instead.
•
Enable force release.
Allows operators to execute a force release.
•
Src/dst immediate take.
A ‘Source/Destination’ button selects a source and a destination. When this box is checked
(as it is in the default NV9641A configuration) the button performs an immediate take. When
the checkbox is clear, the button sets up the take and the operator must press a ‘Take’ but-
ton to complete the take.
These options, available under the XY/MD model, are not available under the paging model:
• Save Preset Default•Deselect all destinations and turn off hold after take
• Hold Preset Default•Jump to multi-dest selection when switching to XY
• Jump back after source selection•Jump back after destination selection.
• Jump back after take•Flip-flop source to preset after take.
Button Definitions
There are four classes of button functions:
• Dedicated functions, such as ‘Default State’ or ‘Chop’.
• Variable functions, such as ‘Category’ or ‘Source’. With this type of button, additional selec-
tions are needed to complete the button configuration.
•
Special functions, such as ‘Navigate’ and ‘Back’. These functions allow the panel operator to
move from one button page to another. (The Navigate button is unique: it initiates a dialog
in which you create a subtree.
•
System-generated button functions. These are buttons that are generated dynamically (by
the router control system) during operation. An example of system-generated buttons is a
device list generated when the user presses a category button. The set of devices in a cate-
gory can change over time (as the configuration database changes); the NV9641A device list
changes also.
The number and names of categories can also change over time and the NV9641A will track
those changes too.
