Operation
Operating Concepts
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.
Category Selection
In the NV9000 system, devices are assigned to categories, where the devices within the catego-
ries are either numbered or identified by alphanumeric suffixes. For instance, a category
representing cameras might be CAM and the cameras in the category might be named CAM1,
CAM2, and so on.
NV9648 category buttons can represent either a source category or a destination category (but
not both). When you pressing category buttons to begin device selection, the panel displays a
list of all devices in that category. If the list has more entries than will fit on the available buttons,
you can scroll through multiple pages of devices using ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ buttons to
find the device you want.
Lock, Protect, and Release
In a multi-user system, routes made by one user can be made safe from being accidentally or
maliciously change by another user.
Definitions
Owner
The user ID of a panel where a lock or protect was issued.
Source lock
No one can use the source.
Source protect
No one but the owner can use the source.
Destination lock
No one can route to the destination.
Destination protect No one but the owner can route to the destination.
Release
To remove a lock or protect.
Some control panels can lock or protect both sources and destinations. However, The NV9648
provides locks and protects for destinations only.
A forced release is when the lock or protect is removed by someone other than the owner. A
forced release can be performed:
•
At any panel configured with release mode set to “forced release”.
•
At any other panel with “force release” enabled.
The ‘Destination Lock’ and ‘Destination Protect’ buttons are toggles. Press the lock (or protect)
button to lock (or protect) a destination. Press the button again to release the lock (or protect).
