Introduction The NV9606 is a 1RU control panel. It has 68 backlit function buttons: Function Buttons Function Buttons The NV9606 can operate either by itself as a stand-alone panel or as a extension of an NV9607 control panel. When the panel is stand-alone, the function buttons are limited: an operator can select sources and destinations or execute salvos.
Introduction Tally Interface At the rear of the panel is a DB25 connector that provides 8 tally inputs and 4 tally outputs. (The outputs are solid state relay outputs.) Both inputs and outputs are optically isolated. During configuration, you can construct Boolean logic that switches the outputs on or off. The terms of the logic expressions are states of the source and destination devices, etc., controlled by the NV9000 control system.
NV9606 User’s Guide Single-Destination Mode with Breakaway In this mode too, the single destination is configured as the default destination. There are no destination buttons. Pressing a source button completes a take unless the corresponding NV9607 has a ‘Source Preview’ button and it is active (high-tally). Breakaway is possible in this mode if the panel has level buttons.
Installation Installing Software and Documentation (Then NV960 has several options for a serial card and breakout box for such a connection.) Refer to the NV9000-SE Utilities User’s Guide for serial configuration options. Contact Miranda regarding serial interface options. 2 Connect one or both power supplies. First connect the 4-pin connector to PS1 or PS2 on the rear of the router.
NV9606 User’s Guide You can now prepare an NV9606 configuration in NV9000-SE Utilities and upload the configura- tion to the NV9606. You need a panel ID to create a NV9606 configuration.

NV9606 User’s Guide Type Modes Description Source All, L The button selects a source. The source name appears in the ‘Status’ display. Pressing a source button completes a take unless source preview mode is in effect. In that case, pressing a take button is required for the completion of the take.
Page 34
Configuration Button Definitions Type Modes Description Source Shift The button toggles between the first and second source sets. The button definition has no fields to configure. The button affects the operation of any source button (in any mode). Source buttons represent two sources. One belongs to one source set and the other belongs to the other source set.
Operation Summary Limited X-Y Mode In limited X-Y mode, takes occur from a single source to a single destination. Destinations are selectable and there are two pages of destinations in addition to the two pages of sources. Breakaway is possible if the panel has level buttons. Pressing a source button completes a take unless source preview mode is active (when the panel is an NV9607 extension).
NV9606 User’s Guide Secondary Modes As a stand-alone panel, the NV9606 has no secondary modes. When it is an NV9607 extension, the secondary modes are: • Source preview mode — exists (in any operating mode) when you press a ‘Source Preview’ button.
Operation Operating Concepts Destination Shift Destination shift applies only in ‘Limited X-Y’ mode. Each destination button can represent two destinations. A ‘Destination Shift’ button selects which of the two destinations the destination button will select. A destination shift button is a toggle that enables either the first or second destination of desti- nation buttons.
NV9606 User’s Guide Limited X-Y In limited X-Y mode, this button allows you to perform a gang (or “dub”) switch. In hold mode, destination selections are cumulative, and not mutually exclusive. Follow these steps to route a source to more than one destination: 1 Select the first destination to which you want to route the source.
Operation Operating Concepts Buttons As a stand-alone panel, the NV9606 has 5 button types: Destination Previous Source Salvo Source Panel Lock As an NV9607, the NV9606 has 21 button types, not including “undefined” which is not an actual button type: Broadcast Free Source Page Up...
NV9606 User’s Guide Default State S, B, X The ‘Default State’ button returns the panel to its most recent power-up state. That is called the default state. (It does not cause any changes to the routers, control system, or its signals.) Destination L, X The button selects a destination.
Operation Operating Concepts Protects apply to selected levels in single-destination mode with breakaway. The NV9606 provides no explicit indication, during operation, whether a destination is locked or unlocked. Destination Shift The ‘Destination Shift’ button toggles between the first and second destination sets (which are available only in limited X-Y mode).
NV9606 User’s Guide Without the button, the operator has no access to the menu functions. By pressing certain buttons, you makes menu selections and enter data (such as panel ID) or change brightness values. When the panel is in menu mode, you must press the ‘Menu’ button to cycle through the functions of the menu.
Operation Operating Concepts The nature of source buttons differs according to the NV9607 panel’s configured operating mode: • Single-destination, single-destination with breakaway, and limited X-Y modes A source button can select one of two sources. The first source belongs to source “page” 1 and the second source belongs to source “page”...
