NV9601 X-Y CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW
The NV9601 is an X-Y Control Panel thatprovides an interface to the NV9000 Router
Control System. Although designed for installation in a standard 19” electronic
equipment rack, the 2 RU high panel may be placed on any flat level surface.
The panel uses a display with brightness controls to provide visibility in all lighting
conditions. Up to eight lines are viewable on the display. Each line may contain up to
four fields of eight characters each.
Programmable front panel buttons provide source and destination selection, and
function control. The buttons also include brightness control to optimize visibility. Key
caps hold easily changed button legends.
NV9601 Modes of Operation
The panel operates in either an X-Y (single source/destination) mode or a Multi-
Destination mode. A single button provides toggling between modes. Also, through the
NV9601 Configuration Editor, the NV9601 is configurable:
• To be single mode only.
• To control either all sources and destinations or a subset of them.
• To be single destination only.
These modes of operation are explained below.
NV9601 X-Y Mode
In X-Y mode, the display shows up to eight levels of status information. Additional
levels, if any, are viewable by pressing the Page Up/Page Dn keys.
NV9601 Multi-Destination Mode
In Multi-Destination mode, the display monitors the status of up to eight destinations.
As in the X-Y mode, additional destinations, if any, are viewable by pressing the Page
Up/Page Dn keys.

NV9601 Configurable Functions
The NV9601 can be configured to perform these functions:
• Previous Source, Free Source, and Quick Source.
• Lock/Release and Protect/Release for both sources and destinations.
• Single button to return to a pre-defined default state.
• Hold breakaway levels.
• System and local salvos.
• A menu to change Panel ID and display and button illumination.
• In a multiple panel configuration, a force Release of a locked or protected device
can be configured for each NV9601. However, note that Release and force Release
are mutually exclusive on the same Control Panel.
Other NV9601 X-Y Control Panel Features
The NV9601 supports multiple source breakaways in X-Y mode. This allows the
operator to route multiple sources to the same destination on different levels.
The panel supports gang or dub switching in Multi-Destination mode. This allows the
operator to route single or multiple sources to multiple destinations.
In Info mode, the panel displays error messages, Lock or Protect status, tie line
information, swapped level status, and other useful information.
NV9601 Button Use
The NV9601 panel uses green and amber button LEDs on the front panel to distinguish
between X-Y mode and Multi-Destination mode and between source selection and
destination selection. Buttons are capable of lighting with the two colors and three
levels of tally:
• The [Src] button and associated functions are green.
• The [Dest] button and associated functions are amber.
NOTE: Although [Src] and [Dest] are mutually exclusive, some functions may be
available to both.
•[Src] and [Dest] are mutually exclusive as are some of the associated functions
(pressing one automatically deselects the other and all functions exclusive to it).
• The three levels of buttons tally are: high tally (bright) when selected, or On; low
tally (dim) when not selected; and Off (unlit) when not available.
• When [Menu] is pressed, all buttons turn Off except applicable line selection
buttons below the display.
