7 Click Execute. The take is performed. Click Cancel to leave the dialog without performing a
range take.
8 The affected entries in the ‘Status’ column of the displayed crosspoint matrix show the sta-
tus of each output switched.
Keep in mind that for the NV8500 hybrid routers, some video and audio ports in the list do not
actually exist. Takes to or from these ports are physical “no-ops.” For example, the 9th port of any
disembedder card is vacant. The 16 audio ports that would be associated with it do not exist.
How to Perform an “Audio Range Take”
An audio range take is a special case, applicable only to NV8500 hybrid routers, that switches all
16 embedded audio channels of video ports. The input and outputs are video ports, regardless
of what level you are viewing.
1 Go to the ‘Crosspoints’ page. From the Control Cards table at the bottom of the page, select
a control card.
2 You do not need to select a level.
3 (Optional) Select outputs, contiguous or non-contiguous, in the displayed table. The take
will be limited to the selected outputs.
4 Select Audio Range Take from the context menu. The ‘Audio Range Take’ dialog appears:
5 In the ‘Input’ field, enter the input to be switched to the destinations.
6 If you made an output selection (in step 3), you can leave the ‘Use Selection’ check box
checked and the range take will apply to your exact selection.
Otherwise, enter a range of outputs In the ‘Output’ section. The range of valid destinations
appears at the right. Enter a starting number in the left-hand field and an ending number in
the right-hand field. All outputs in that range are selected.
Keep in mind that the input and the outputs in this dialog are video ports. The take will
switch the audio (all 16 channels) for these video ports.
Note: the ‘Reverse’ checkbox is always disabled.
7 Click Execute. The take is performed. Click Cancel to leave the dialog without performing a
range take.
8 The affected entries in the ‘Status’ column of the displayed crosspoint matrix show the sta-
tus of each output switched.
