NV9607 Control Panel • User’s Guide 3
2. Introduction
Chapter 2 provides a functional description of the NV9607. It presents these topics:
•Summary
•Panel Organization
•Modes of Operation
•Other NV9607 Functions
Summary
The NV96071is a 2RU control panel, about 1.9″deep, overall. It has 116 backlit function buttons
and a small display. The display has either 4 or 8 lines of 42 characters, depending on its configura-
tion.
An NV9606 control panel can operate as an extension of the NV9607. That is, an NV9607 and an
NV9606 together form a larger panel with more buttons. See the NV9606 User’s Guide for details.
The NV9607 can operate in one of 4 modes:
• Limited X-Y mode.
• Single-destination (SD) mode.
• Single-destination mode with breakaway.
• Multi-destination (MD) mode.
See Modes of Operation, following.
The panel is organized as shown in figures 2-1 and 2-2:
Figure 2-1. NV9607 Front
The function buttons are configurable. They select sources or destinations, or they execute func-
tions. Physical source selection buttons represent one of two sets of sources. Physical destination
selection buttons (if present) represent one of two sets of destinations. An operator can toggle
between the two sets.
The sets of functions differ in the different operating modes.
1 An equivalent NV9607V —a GUI that is called a “virtual panel”— is available. It emulates the NV9607.

2. Introduction
Panel Organization
At the rear of the panel are power, serial control, Ethernet, and GPIO connectors:
Figure 2-2. NV9607 Rear
You connect the NV9607 to the NV9000 system using the Ethernet connector.
The serial port is for local diagnostics, as it is for all control panels.
The NV9607 uses external PS0001 power supplies. One will suffice. Two provide redundancy.
The GPIO connector supports the panel’s GPIO functions: 4 outputs and 8 inputs. See GPIO on
page 57.
Panel Organization
Function Buttons
The NV9607 has 4 rows of function buttons. The upper two rows have 24 buttons. The lower two
rows have 34 buttons. The total is 116 function buttons. The set of buttons differ in each of the 4
operating modes. (See Modes of Operation, on page 8.)
Physical source buttons represent one of two sets of sources. Physical destination buttons (if
present) represent one of two sets of destinations. The panel can be configured with a ‘Source Shift’
button that toggles between the two source pages and a ‘Destination Shift’ button that toggles
between the two destination pages.
Each button has three operational levels: high and low tally (green, amber, and sometimes red), and
off. Operators can adjust the low tally levels in increments of 10% using the panel’s menu. Buttons
that are turned off are said to be dark. (Physically, they are actually white or gray.)
SGenerally, green represents a source or a source function and amber represents a destination or
a destination function. However, green and amber also represent other functions.
The function buttons each have clear plastic keycaps under which you may place plastic inserts for
button legends. It is a simple matter to change button legends.2
Ethernet (RJ-45) GPIO (DB25)
Power
Serial (RS-422)
2 The NV9607V (virtual panel) has automatically generated button legends. For instance, a source button’s legend is the
source name. Depending on the operating mode, the source button might have up to 3 lines of text: a source from page 1,
a source from page 2, and a destination.

Panel Organization
Alphanumeric Display
The panel has an alphanumeric display (a VFD) at the top right:
The display has either 4 or 8 lines of 42 characters, depending on configuration. The characters are
tall (4×14) when the display is configured for 4 lines.
Display Fields
When the panel is in multi-destination mode, the contents of the display differ greatly from the con-
tents in X-Y, single-destination, or single-destination mode with breakaway:
With 4 lines of text, the text is larger:
The main difference between XY mode, SD mode, and SD mode with breakaway is the title in the
first line: ‘X - Y’, ‘Single’, and ‘1Dst/wBrk’ respectively.

2. Introduction
Panel Organization
Operators might need to scroll the display to see additional information. (‘Page Up’ and ‘Page
Down’ buttons are for scrolling the display.)
The display has 4 columns:
• Information (the left-most column, not labeled).
The first entry in this column is one of ‘X - Y’, ‘Single’, ‘1Dst/wBrk’, or ‘MultiDest” depend-
ing on the mode in which the panel is configured, unless the operator has entered menu mode,
or setup mode or has pressed an ‘Information’ button. See chapter 5 for those topics.
The bottom-most entry in this column is always the page number of the display.
In MD mode, there are no entries in this column other than “MultiDest” and the page number.
In the other modes, the second entry is always the word “Dest” as a title for the third entry
which identifies the current destination. In the preceding illustrations, the current destination is
VTR 1.
• Preview.
The preview column indicates what source will be routed to a destination if the operator presses
a ‘Take’ button.
SThis column is used only when the panel is in source preview mode. When the panel is not
in source preview mode, takes occur when the operator selects a source.
In MD mode, the preview column indicates the source(s) that will be routed to selected destina-
tion(s) in the ‘Level/Dest’ column. These are the preset source(s). After the take, they disappear
from the preview column and re-appear in the status column, reflecting that the preset sources
have now become current sources.
In the other modes, the preview column represents the levels of a source or the levels of multi-
ple sources under breakaway. Here too, these are called the preset source(s). After the take, they
disappear from the preview column and re-appear in the status column, reflecting that the preset
sources have now become current sources.
•Status.
The status column indicates what source was routed to the destination.
In MD mode, the status column represents the sources routed to each of the destinations in the
‘Level/Dest’ column. Again, these are the current sources.
In the other modes, the status column represents the levels of a source or the levels of multiple
sources under breakaway. These are called the current source(s). The presence of ‘--------’ in
the status or preset columns means that that particular level is not defined for the destination.
Therefore, no source selection for that level is possible. The preceding illustrations show that
levels HD and ‘TimeCode’ are not defined for VTR 1.
• Level/Dest.
In MD mode, the ‘Level/Dest’ column presents all the MD destinations defined in the NV9607
configuration. (Actual destinations are defined in the NV9000 configuration.) Operators might
need to scroll to see or select a destination.
In the other modes, this column identifies the levels of the currently selected destination. That
destination is identified in the information column. In the illustration above, ‘VTR 1’ was
selected. Operators might need to scroll to see or select a level.
The ordering of levels (in all but multi-destination mode) is a configuration option.

NV9607 Control Panel • User’s Guide 7
2. Introduction
Panel Organization
The display fields can show either names in a name set or system mnemonics for devices depend-
ing on (1) the state of the ‘Name Set Toggle’ button (if the panel has one), (2) the default name set
(3) the existence of name sets in the NV9000 configuration.
Flags
The display also shows flags of different kinds next to the sources and destinations.
Selection Marks
At the far right of the display are marks (3 small bars) that turn on to indicate selections.
In MD mode, a mark appears to the right of the currently selected destination (and of all the cur-
rently selection destinations in hold mode).
In the other modes, the marks turn on to indicate that a level is selected and are not visible other-
wise. (The operator makes level selections in the button array.)
Other Signs
A plus sign (+) indicates that additional information is available. There is an ‘Info’ button type
available so that operators may view the additional information.
In MD mode, an asterisk (*) directly after a source indicates a breakaway on that destination.
An ‘L’ indicates that a device has been locked. A ‘P’ indicates that a device has been protected.
NV9607 operators may lock, protect or release destinations. It is important for operators to know
that other operators may lock, protect, or release sources and destinations.
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.
During configuration, you can prescribe NV9607 behavior that depends on the tally inputs.
What you connect to the tally interface is, of course, up to you. Miranda provides a breakout cable
(WC0053) that can be used with the tally connector, as a purchase option.
Note that the NV9000-SE Utilities on-line help documentation calls the tally interface a GPIO
interface. On the rear of the panel, it is labelled a “GPI interface.”
See Chapter 6, GPIO, on page 67, for complete detail.

2. Introduction
Modes of Operation
Modes of Operation
The NV9607 operates in one of 4 modes:
•Limited X-Y Mode.
•Single-Destination Mode.
•Single-Destination Mode with Breakaway.
•Multi-Destination Mode.
The panel’s set of button functions varies with the mode.
The modes (or behavioral models) are determined at configuration. The operator cannot switch
between different modes.
SThe NV9606 control panel can operate as an extension of the NV9607. See the NV9606 User’s
Guide for details.
Limited X-Y Mode
In limited X-Y mode, takes occur from a single source to a single destination (selectable).
Pressing a source button completes a take unless a panel has a ‘Source Preview’ button and it is
active (high-tally).
Breakaway is possible in this mode if the panel has level buttons. Level buttons select the levels on
which the take is to occur. Takes occur on all levels when either no levels are selected or when all
levels are selected.
Operators can use a ‘Source Shift’ button to toggle between two sets of sources. Similarly, opera-
tors can use a ‘Destination Shift’ button to toggle between two sets of destinations.
Single-Destination Mode
In single destination mode, the panel’s destination is configured as the default destination and there
are no destination buttons.
Pressing a source button completes a take unless a panel has a ‘Source Preview’ button and it is
active (high-tally).
Takes are all-level.
Operators can use a ‘Source Shift’ button to toggle between two sets of sources.
Single-Destination Mode with Breakaway
Again the single destination is configured as the default destination. There are no destination but-
tons.
Pressing a source button completes a take unless a panel has a ‘Source Preview’ button and it is
active (high-tally).
Breakaway is possible in this mode if the panel has level buttons. Level buttons selected the levels
on which the take is to occur. Takes occur on all levels when either no levels are selected or when
all levels are selected.
Operators can use a ‘Source Shift’ button to toggle between two sets of sources.

Multi-Destination Mode
In this mode, source buttons are configured with destinations as well as sources. Thus, each source
button completes a route to an individual destination. If each button had a different destination, the
panel could support 116 destinations. The typical configuration would have fewer destinations.
Pressing a source button completes a take unless a panel has a ‘Source Preview’ button and it is
active (high-tally).
Takes are all-level.

Secondary Modes
Additional but secondary modes of panel operation are:
• Setup mode —where the NV9607 is powered up, but disconnected from the network. In this
mode, you can preset the NV9607’s panel ID and perform a few diagnostic tasks.
• Menu mode —pressing a menu button places the NV9607 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.
• Source preview mode—(in any of the operating modes) allows source selection to act as a pre-
view selection, requiring the operator to press a ‘Take’ button to complete a take.
When the panel is not in setup mode or menu mode, we say it is in normal mode. “Normal” means
the panel is functioning in one of the 4 operating modes.
Other NV9607 Functions
The NV9607 can be configured to perform the following additional functions:
• Previous source and free source.
• System salvos.
• Lock/protect/release for destinations.
• Multiple-level breakaways.
• Broadcast data routing.
