B. Control Panels
NV9601
The scroll buttons also adjust the brightness of the panel buttons (when the operator selects the
brightness command from the menu). In addition, the buttons scroll through the devices in a
category when the user has selected a category. The selected device ID appears in the ‘Entry’
column of the display.
• Selection buttons — eight “soft keys” that select, enable, or disable items in the display. Each
selection button corresponds to one of the 8 lines in the display.
• Keypad and category area — 20 buttons, 10 of which are have fixed functions. These are either
numeric buttons (0–9) or “category” buttons, depending on context. The other 10 buttons can
be assigned any function, including additional categories and suffixes.
The 10 numeric/category buttons are arranged like a standard push-button telephone keypad.
Modes of Operation
The panel operates in either an X-Y (single destination, with levels displayed) mode or a multi-des-
tination mode. A single button (XY/Mult) can toggle between the modes. The NV9601 can control
all sources and destinations
— or a subset of them.
The primary modes of operation are:
• X-Y Mode — full control of all router levels. Choose a destination, optionally choose desired
breakaway levels, choose a source, and press
Take
to complete a desired route. In this mode, the
display shows status for up to eight levels. Additional levels (if present) are viewable by press-
ing the
Page Up
or
Page Down
buttons.
• Multi-Destination Mode — lets you control multiple destinations. The panel displays up to 8
destinations at a time. You can scroll through 8-destination pages using the
Page Up
or
Page
Down
buttons. Takes are “all level,” and breakaways cannot be performed. Individual destina-
tions are selected using the selection buttons located below the display.
Secondary modes include:
• Salvo Mode — pressing a
Salvo
button places the NV9601 in “Salvo” mode. The display moni-
tors the status of up to eight salvos at a time. Additional salvos (if any) are viewable by pressing
the
Page Up
or
Page Down
buttons.
• Menu Mode — pressing a
Menu
button places the NV9601 in “menu” mode. Pressing a
Selec-
tion
button displays submenus.
• Info Mode — pressing an
Info
button places the NV9601 in “info” mode. The display shows one
or more messages regarding, for instance, level mapping or breakaway status. Additional mes-
sage text (if any) is viewable by pressing the
Page Up
or
Page Down
buttons.
This is a sample information statement:
AES 3/4 on IRD5 is switched to AES 1/2 on IRD1.

The NV9601 can be configured to perform the following functions:
• Previous Source, Free Source and “Quick” Source.
• Lock/Release and Protect/Release for both sources and destinations.
