When the panel is stand-alone, the function buttons either select sources or select destinations.
When the panel is used as an NV9602 extension, the buttons can execute a small set of addi-
tional functions.
At the rear are power, serial, and network connectors:
There is no virtual panel matching the NV9604.
Function Buttons
The NV9604 has an array of 32 function buttons. There is a limited set of button functions when
the panel is stand-alone. When it is an NV9602 extension, the buttons’ functions are slightly
different in each of the 4 operating modes of the NV9602. (See
, following.)
When the panel is an NV9602 extension, source buttons represent one of two sets of sources.
and destination buttons (if present) represent one of two sets of destinations. When the panel is
stand-alone, each source button represents a single source and each destination button repre-
sents a single destination.
Each button has three operational levels: high and low tally (green or amber), and off. (The
button material is actually white or gray.)
Modes of Operation
By itself, the NV9604 operates in one of 2 modes:
•
•
An NV9604 can operate in one of 4 modes:
•
•
Single-Destination Mode with Breakaway
•
•
As a NV9602 extension, the NV9604 can operate in any mode configured for the NV9602. The
NV9604 has only limited use when the NV9602 is in multi-destination mode.
The modes (or behavioral models) are determined at configuration for both the NV9604 and the
NV9602. The operator cannot switch between different modes.
Single-Destination Mode
In single destination mode, the panel’s destination is the configured default destination and
there are no destination buttons. Takes are performed on all levels.
Takes occur immediately when a source button is pressed.
Under NV9602 control, the single destination is the one configured for the NV9602. The default
destination for the NV9604 is ignored.
