Operation
Operating Concepts
In X-Y mode, the hold button causes breakaway levels to be retained after a take. The levels you
selected (and deselected) remain lit (or unlit) as they were before the take.
Level Map
The ‘Level Map’ button cross-connects levels (typically in the same physical router). The function
is typically used to shuffle audio channels, for example, to connect AES1/2 to AES3/4.
Follow these steps to create a level mapping:
1 Select a source.
2 Press ‘Level Map’. It goes bright and the XY Display button says “Select Src Level.” Press a level
button.
3 The XY Display button now says “Select Dest Level.” Press a level button.
4 Finally, press ‘Take’. (This does not execute a normal take — only the level mapping.)
Level mappings are typically used for AES levels.
The level map mode is cancelled when the next normal take is performed involving the selected
devices.
The default button text is “Level Map” but the button can have any legend.
P Menu
The button puts the NV9641A panel in menu mode and displays a menu, on the LCD buttons,
that provides access to a variety of panel options.
By pressing any of the menu buttons, you may enter data (such as panel ID) or change LCD
brightness values. The LCD button text varies with context in menu mode.
See Menu Mode on page 68 for more detail.
Name Set Toggle
An ‘Name Set Toggle’ button toggles the panel between its default name set and the “system
name” set. Whichever name set you select becomes the “active” name set.
 ‘Name Set Toggle’ buttons are disabled while a category selection is in progress.
 The panel requires that category/suffix device selection be performed using the names in
the system name set. However, it displays the device you selected using the active name set.
We recommend that you switch to the system name set prior to category/suffix device selec-
tion and return to your preferred name set afterward.
Navigate
A navigate button displays and activates one of the button pages defined in the panel configu-
ration. We call that the “target” button page.
The target page can be an ordinary button page (defined during configuration) or it can be the
first page of a list. Lists are characterized by “back” and “forward” buttons on the panel. Such
lists can be categories (source or destination), sources, destinations, or salvos.
Navigate buttons have no specific default text and it is the configurer’s job to provide text that is
meaningful. The text should help identify the contents of the target page.
Just press the navigate button to access the target page.
