How to Add a Class of Devices Using the ‘Add Multiple Devices’ Wizard
The process for adding a class of devices involves two general tasks:
• First, the name for the class of devices, the number of devices, and the level set to which the
devices belong are specified.
• Second, the input and output connector numbers for the virtual levels of the devices are speci-
fied.
All devices must be of the same type. For example, 6 monitors can be added at one time, or 8 VTRs
can be added at one time. However, both monitors and VTRs cannot be added at the same time.
1 Launch NV9000-SE. (See Launching and Exiting the Application on page 12.)
