Introduction
Panel Organization
The panels can be configured so that either mode is selectable by the operator. The panels can
also operate in several secondary modes, including salvo mode and menu mode.
At the rear are power, serial, and network connectors:
Fig. 2-3: NV9616 and NV9608 Rear
The ports labeled 10base2 and RS-422 are non-operational and are covered. Only the serial port
and the Ethernet port are available.
The AC connector has a compartment in which you can find a spare fuse.
(The Ethernet port is 10baseT. The NV9000 supports 10baseT as well as 100baseT.)
Panel Organization
LCD Button Array
The NV9616 has 16 LCD button units. The NV9608 has 8. Each unit comprises a large LCD button
and a small ‘Take’ button below the LCD button. The LCD buttons each have 3 lines of text (up to
8 characters per line). The lines of the button are labeled “S,” “P,” and “D” on the panel:
In multi-destination mode, the 3 lines of text display status (S), preset (P), and destination (D),
respectively. If breakaway applies to that destination, the status apppears in reverse text. A
button can display other messages in other contexts.
Under each LCD button is a smaller white ‘Take’ button. Pressing the take button executes a take
for the selected destination. The methods for selecting destinations and sources for the take are
different in X-Y mode and multi-destination (MD) mode.
The LCD button array represents:
•Destinations (in multi-destination mode). The panels provide support for up to 512 MD des-
tinations. You can select different “pages” of destinations using the scroll buttons.
•Levels (in X-Y mode). The button at the top left represents the selected destination. The
remaining 15 buttons (or 7 buttons on the NV9608) buttons represent the levels of the
selected destination.
•Menu functions (in menu mode). Some of the LCD buttons execute menu functions.
•Salvos (in salvo mode). The panels provide support for system salvos and local salvos on
multiple pages of salvo buttons. You can select a “page” of salvos using the scroll buttons.

User’s Guide
Scroll Buttons
There are two scroll buttons (called ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ in the configuration software).
These buttons scroll either through pages of MD destinations or through pages of salvos. The
scroll buttons page through levels if you have more than 15 (or 7) levels defined.
Scrolling of MD destinations wraps around at the ends of the MD destination list if ‘Use Contin-
uous Scrolling’ is enabled. At the head of the list, ‘Page Up’ causes the last page to display. At the
end of the list, ‘Page Down’ causes the first page to display. If ‘Use Continuous Scrolling’ is not
enabled, the pages stop scrolling at the ends of the list.
Continuous scrolling is a panel default.
Continuous scrolling does not apply to the salvo list and does not apply to levels in X-Y mode.
Shortcut
In MD mode, the panel’s category buttons allow you to enter a page number for multi-destina-
tion devices, instead of scrolling. This is a convenience—a shortcut that lets you avoid ‘Page
Down’ or ‘Page Up’ button presses when you know the number of the page you want.
Note:
•The shortcut is available only when no category device selection is pending (in MD mode).
•Only category buttons that have single-digit suffixes are enabled.
•The shortcut is not available for salvo pages.
Function Buttons
The NV9616 and NV9608 have an array of 24 function buttons on the right.
Of those, 10 buttons, arranged like a telephone keypad, have fixed functions. These 10 buttons
are “category” buttons, representing category mnemonics or category suffixes or both:
The ordering of suffixes and mnemonics on these fixed buttons is arbitrary. See Category Selec-
tion on page 33 for more information.
The other 14 function buttons can be assigned any available function.
The set of available functions (28) is the same in X-Y mode and MD mode.
Modes of Operation
The panels can operate in one of 2 modes:
•X-Y mode.
•Multi-destination (MD) mode.
The panels can be configured so that either mode is selectable by the operator.

Introduction
Modes of Operation
Multi-Destination Mode
The panel supports up to 512 MD destinations. The NV9616 displays 16 at a time on the LCD
buttons. The NV9608 displays 8 at a time.
Operators perform a take by (optionally) scrolling to an MD page, pressing an LCD button to
select a destination, selecting a source, and pressing the take button under the selected LCD
button. The operator uses the function buttons to select a source. See Category Selection on
page 33 for more information.
In MD mode, the LCD buttons are generally green—and high-tally when selected. They become
yellow when you have selected a source and red when you have locked or protected a
destination.
Breakaway is not directly possible in MD mode, but when the operator performs breakaway in
X-Y mode and then switches to MD mode, the destination(s) for which breakaway occurred
show the device name in reverse text.
X-Y Mode
The LCD buttons represent a single selected destination and the levels for that destination.
The destination appears on the top left LCD button (for the NV9616). On the NV9608, it is simply
the left button. This button is generally amber. It also displays the text “X - Y” and “Dest” to
remind operators that the panel is in X-Y mode. The button is red when the destination is locked.
The remaining LCD buttons show the levels. The level buttons are generally green—and high-
tally when selected. Level buttons turn yellow when you have selected a source on those levels.
If there are fewer levels than available buttons, the extra buttons are blank. If there are more
levels than available buttons, the operator can scroll through the pages of levels using the scroll
buttons. The destination button remains in its fixed position regardless of the page.
Breakaway is possible in X-Y mode. Operators may select the levels for which the take is to occur
by pressing the individual LCD buttons that represent the levels. (Scrolling might be necessary
to view all the levels.)
Operators perform a take by selecting a destination, (optionally) selecting levels, selecting a
source, and pressing the take button under any of the selected LCD buttons. The operator uses
the function buttons to select a source and to select a destination. See Category Selection on
page 33 for more information.
Secondary Modes
Additional but secondary modes of panel operation are:
•Setup mode—where the panel is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the network.
In this mode, you can preset the panel ID and perform a few diagnostic tasks.
•Salvo mode—pressing a salvo button places the panel in salvo mode, where it is expected
that the operator will choose a salvo on the LCD button, possibly scrolling to find the salvo.
(The duration of a salvo is indeterminate, but usually short.)
•Menu mode—pressing a menu button places the panel in “menu” mode. In menu mode,
the buttons lose their normal functions and become part of a menu that changes as needed
during menu operation.

NV9608 and NV9616
User’s Guide
•Source mode—pressing a source mode button places the panel temporarily in source
mode, where the operator can use category and suffix buttons to select a source.
•Destination mode—pressing a destination mode button places the panel temporarily in
destination mode, where the operator can use category and suffix buttons to select a desti-
nation.
•Hold mode—when hold mode is active in X-Y mode, a breakaway level selection remains in
effect until the operator turns hold mode off. In MD mode, when hold mode is active, the
operator may select multiple destinations.
•Save preset mode and load preset mode—pressing a ‘Save Preset’ button places the panel
in a temporary mode in which you can name and save a preset selection. Pressing a ‘Load
Preset’ button places the panel in a temporary mode in which you can select a saved preset
selection.
When the panel is not in setup mode, salvo mode, or menu mode, we say it is in normal mode.
Other Panel Functions
The NV9616 and NV9608 can be configured to perform the following additional functions:
•Previous source and free source.
•System salvos and local salvos.
•Lock/protect/release for destinations.
•Multiple- and single-level breakaway.
•Broadcast data routing.
•“Gang” takes.
Additional Control Panel Features
The panel supports gang switching in multi-destination mode. The operator may route single or
multiple sources to multiple destinations in a single operation.
The LCD buttons can be green (for sources), amber (for destinations), yellow, or red. Each button
provides three levels of tally: off, low, and high. Through the menu, high tally can be set at high
or medium brightness and low tally can be set at low or medium brightness, where high tally is
constrained to be brighter than low tally.
The panel’s 24 function buttons and two scroll buttons are backlit. The buttons can be green or
amber. Each button provides three levels of tally: off, low, and high. (You can adjust the levels of
low and high tally, through the menu. LED brightness levels range from 0% to 100%, in 10%
increments, with high tally constrained to be brighter than low tally.)
If you assign an X-Y/Multi-Destination button on your panel, it is a toggle: press it once to place
the panel in X-Y mode and press it again to place the panel in multi-destination mode. (It turns
green for X-Y mode and amber for multi-destination mode.)

Package Contents
If you have ordered one or more NV9616 or NV9608 control panels from Grass Valley, inspect the
shipping container for damage. If you find any container damage, unpack and inspect the
contents. If the contents are damaged, notify the carrier immediately.
As you unpack the shipping container, look for the packing slip and compare it against the
contents to verify that you received everything as ordered. If anything is missing (or if you find
equipment damage unrelated to shipping), please contact technical support. Refer to Grass
Valley Technical Support on page 71.
Depending on your order, the items that can ship include:
•One or more NV9616 or NV9608 control panels.
•An AC power cord.
The package does not contain network cables, serial cables, or mounting screws.
You do not need to take any special precautions regarding ESD.
This document does not address the shipment or installation of any other equipment or soft-
ware that can be used in conjunction with the NV9616 (including any system controllers, other
NV96xx control panels, EC9700 GUI, EC9710 GUI, and configuration programs such as UniConfig,
MRC, or NV9000-SE Utilities).
This document does briefly address the use of NV9000-SE Utilities and the Panel IP Configura-
tion Utility as they pertain to panel configuration.

Installation
Follow these steps to install a NV9616 or NV9608 control panel:
1 Mount, and secure, the panel in the rack.
The NV9616 and NV9608 are designed to mount in a 19” rack. Rack-mounting is not a
requirement.
2 We assume that you have an Ethernet switch connected to the “Panel and Router Network”
port of your system controller. Connect an Ethernet cable from that switch to the RJ-45 port
at the rear of the panel.
3 Connect power.
Installing Software and Documentation
This document is available through the Grass Valley web site.
You must use NV9000-SE Utilities to configure the NV9616 or NV9608 control panel. Contact
Grass Valley if you need to obtain the latest version of this NV9000 configuration software.
You may use the Panel IP Configuration Utility if you want to your panel to have a static IP
address (with respect to the system controller) or to use DHCP. The panel, as it comes from the
factory, defaults to DHCP.
Initialization
Before your system controller can communicate with your panel, you must give it a panel ID.
Follow these steps for each NV9616 you are installing:
1Powerupthepanel.Donot connect its Ethernet cable. (Disconnect it if it is connected.)
