Virtual Level Expand and Contract
If the levels for a particular device belong to a virtual level group, you can collapse the display of
levels to its minimal possible representation (just the group names) or expand the display of the
levels so that all individual levels are displayed.
Use the ‘Virtual Levels Contract’ button to collapse the list of levels. Use the ‘Virtual Levels
Expand’ button to expand the list of levels.
See Level Grouping , following.
Level Grouping
Virtual levels can be grouped. This diagram illustrates grouping:
There are two types of virtual levels: basic and abstract. Basic virtual levels are those that
correspond to actual physical levels. Abstract virtual levels do not correspond to physical levels.
In the illustration, the 5 “Aud x” levels are grouped under ‘Audio’. The two video levels are
grouped under ‘Video’.
The levels ‘Video’ and ‘Audio’ are abstract levels; the other levels are basic levels.
 The NV9601, at present, ignores the concept of level groups, and presents any configured
level groups as completely expanded. That is, it always displays basic levels and never
abstract levels.
Hold
Hold mode (and hold buttons) apply in both X-Y mode and multi-destination mode.
Breakaway
In X-Y mode, a hold button retains breakaway levels after a take.
Simply press the hold button at any time before the take.
A hold button is a toggle. Press it once to put the panel in hold mode; press it again to remove
hold mode.
Multi-Destination Mode
In multi-destination mode, hold mode allows you to select more than one MD destination at a
time.
