lines 1, 2, and 3, that will always happen. Then levels SD, AES56, and AES78 will appear on
page 2, and ‘timecode’ and ‘Ctrl’ will appear on page 3 as the operator scrolls.
During configuration, you may leave any of the fields in this section blank. If you leave all 3
fields blank, the display will present levels
in their default order
(according to their display
index, as defined in NV9000-SE Utilities).
If you leave only one or two fields blank, those display lines will appear blank, while the line
for which you specified a level will show that level.
Configuration Tasks
The person configuring an NV9642 panel will want to consider how best to use the hierarchical
nature of the button tree to support the devices and routers in the router control system at hand. The
task is non-trivial.
In support of that effort, the configurer will do the following:
• Select panel options.
• Assign functions to buttons.
• Create pages (subtrees) of buttons. (Do this using the Navigation button type).
• Define logic for some or all of the tally inputs and outputs.
A configuration should lead the operator through required tasks. It is possible to make navigation
through the tree structure of panel operations intuitive through the judicious use of color and text on
the LCD buttons.
The configurer must keep in mind that the operator generally cannot view the entire button tree at a
glance.
The configurer must also keep in mind that the operator must be able to reach any page in the tree.
In particular, the operator, having navigated down a subtree, must have some way to navigate back
up the subtree. There are several ways to ensure this. Two ways are listed here:
• Place a “Back” button on each subpage. The “back” button causes the NV9642 to redisplay the
previous
page.
• Place a “Navigate” button on each page, where the navigate button causes the NV9642 to dis-
play a
specific
page.
S
The operator can always return from system-generated pages (e.g., device lists) using the ‘back’
button.
The panel operator, in most cases, needs a ‘Take’ button and at least one selection button. In addi-
tion to their basic function, selection buttons provide feedback about the preset source device and
level mapping. A ‘Clear Preset’ button is strongly recommended.
S
We recommend that you place exactly 8 selection buttons on a page and that they reference all
display indexes.
