NV9601 X-Y CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW

The NV9601 is an X-Y Control Panel that provides 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.

Page 1-3


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.

CONFIGURING THE NV9601 PANEL

Before you physically install the panel and apply power, you must configure it using the NV9000 Configuration Manager and the NV9000 NV9601 Configuration Editor on a Windows-based PC. Without the proper configuration, the panel is inoperable. Refer to the NV9000 Configuration Manager User Guide for details about how to configure the NV9601 Control Panel. The tasks you need to do include the following:

• Create an NV9601 configuration file and identify the path to the file using the NV9601 Configuration Editor. This includes button function assignments and panel operating mode selections.

• Create the Panel Name and Panel ID for this panel in the NV9000 Configuration Manager.

• Enter the user name and NV9601 configuration file path for this panel into the NV9000 Configuration Manager.

Page 2-2


INSTALLING KEY CAP LEGENDS

NOTE: NVISION recommends that the initial installation of the key cap legends be doneprior to installing the NV9601 into the equipment rack. In most cases, this makes handling and installation easier.

You received the NV9601 X-Y Control Panel with all key caps blank, along with a mylar sheet of standard key cap legends (see Figure 2-1). These key cap legends are intended to be installed in the Function button positions and numeric keypad positions. (Refer to “NV9601 Front Panel Description” in Section 1 for location if needed.) The following pages explain the purpose of each button function and associated legend, and how to install the legends.

Note that not all legends are used with the NV9601 and not all functions are available at the same time. The applicable buttons are programmed through the NV9601 Configuration Editor.

Because the placement of the legends is determined by the configuration you create in the NV9601 Configuration Editor, we recommend you copy the template, Figure 2-4, later in this section and use it to write down the button assignments you make in the configuration. Then you can refer to your notes on the template when you install the legends into the panel buttons.

Note that except for the dedicated buttons shown in Figure 2-2 and identified below, install the key cap legends on key caps as defined in the NV9601 Configuration Editor. For more information about the meaning of each legend, see the list of legends on the following page..

Figure 2-2. Dedicated buttons

NVISION does not provide legends for the following key groups. This allows users to configure the buttons to meet their needs and to make and install custom legends. (For a template and instructions to make your own custom button legends, see the NVISION ftp site at ftp://www.nvision1.com/envy/BlnkLgnd1.doc.)

Category Keys: Twenty keys used for category entry during source anddestination entry. Note that except for the numeric keypad, category keys can be programmed as Quick Source or function keys.

� The [Take] button.

� The eight Line Selection buttons ([1]-[8]).

� The [Page Up] and [Page Dn] buttons.

� Numeric positions [0]-[9] reserved for the standard formation key pad. Note that the numbers are in the bottom third of the key cap, leaving room for custom legends in the top two thirds.

� Note: The remaining key caps in Figure 2-2. are only examples.

Legend Installation Procedure

Install the key cap legends into the button caps as follows. No tools are required. Installing the legends with the panel on a table or work bench is easier than trying to do it with the panel in an equipment rack.

1. Decide which of the supplied legends you want to use and on which buttons you want to install them (other than the dedicated ones shown in Figure 2-2). Note the chosen legend locations using the template on the next page (Figure 2-4).

2. Place the mylar legends and the legend location template on a flat surface near your work area where you can read them.

3. Position the NV9601 front panel for easy access to the key caps and legends.

4. Remove the key caps from the front panel by gently prying up on the side of each cap with your fingers. Put the key caps on the work surface.

5. Place a legend into each key cap and assemble the key caps onto the push buttons in the panel as shown in Figure 2-3. Be sure to place the correct legends on dedicated push buttons, such as the Take button and the numerical keypad buttons, as shown in Figure 2-4.

Figure 2-3. Key Cap Legend Installation

Caution: Be sure to adequately support the Control Panel while installing the key cap legends so as to prevent damage to the panel or its connectors.

� Note: Ensure the legend is placed so as to be legible once the key cap is installed. Somebuttons may have two legends, such as numeric keypad buttons that also serve as functionor category buttons.

PHYSICALLY INSTALLING THE NV9601 PANEL

The NV9601 Panel was designed for installation in a standard 19-inch electronic equipment rack as shown in Figure 2-5. It may also be placed on a flat, level surface such as a desk or table. To install the Control Panel:

1. Determine where you want the NV9601. Note the following:

The panel must be within six feet of an AC power source.

It must also be within easy reach of the NV9000 Server (10 Base 2) or Ethernet Hub (10 Base T).

NV9601 panels can be stacked on top of each other without cooling space above or below. However, do not place the panel on top of any equipment that generates a lot of heat.

2. If you install the panel in a 19-inch (483mm) equipment rack, secure the panel in the rack using four rack screws (not supplied) as shown in Figure 2-5. If you prefer, you can use nylon washers (not supplied) with the screws to protect the panel from being marred.

CONNECTING THE PANEL TO THE NV9000 SERVER

Connect the NV9000 Server to the NV9601 Control Panel using either the 10 Base T or 10 Base 2 Control Panel rear Ethernet connector. You may not use both connectors at the same time; the board in the Control Panel only allows one or the other. Also, switching from one to the other requires a cold reboot of the NV9000 server.

10 Base T Connection

If you are using a 10 Base T Ethernet connection, you must connect a hub between the NV9000 server and the Control Panel. For example, Figure 2-6 shows a 5-port hub connection. This hub allows you to connect up to four panels to an NV9000 server using the 1 - 5 connectors (one for the server and one for each panel). If you need to connect more than four panels, you may use the Uplink connector to connect to another hub, or you might consider using a different hub, such as one with 12 or 24 connectors.

WARDG

Note: Current NV9000 systems may not support the use of 10Base2 panel network connections as outlined on the next page. This network topology has been superceded by the more common 10BaseT

WARDG


10 Base 2 Connection

If you are using a 10 Base 2 Ethernet connection, connect the NV9000 Server to the panel. and terminate the cable as shown in Figure 2-7. The maximum distance between the server and the panel (without a Repeater) is 185 meters.

Figure 2-7. 10 Base 2 Single Panel Connection

You may daisy chain up to 24 panels to the server (see Figure 2-8). The restrictions are:

• The maximum distance of the chain (without a Repeater) is 185 meters.

• The minimum distance between panels is 0.5 meters.

• The last panel in the chain must be terminated as shown in Figure 2-7.

Figure 2-8. 10 Base 2 Multiple Panel Connection

� Note: If you use 10 Base 2, you must use 50 ohm coaxial cable.

APPLYING AC POWER TO THE PANEL

Connect the supplied power cord from the Control Panel to an AC power source of 90-130 or 180-250 VAC, 50-60 Hz (Figure 2-9). The power supply is auto-ranging, so it will automatically adjust to any AC power within the stated range. For power cord wiring, see the diagrams preceding the Table of Contents in this manual under the heading “NORTH AMERICAN POWER SUPPLY CORDS” or “INTERNATIONAL POWER SUPPLY CORDS”.

Figure 2-9. AC Power Connection

� Note: There is no On/Off switch on the NV9601 and therefore, power is applied to thepanel when the power cord is connected.

Page 2-11


PANEL BOOT UP

When power is applied, the panel begins to boot up. As it does so, it displays a series of messages. If the panel has already been configured and assigned a Panel ID, the panel assumes the default state within a few seconds, provided the NV9000 software is currently running. If the Panel ID or configuration file is incorrect, or if the panel is disconnected from the server, an error message will continue to display until the Panel ID is set or the configuration file is corrected.

The above screen indicates that the panel is trying to acquire an IP address. The second line shows the Panel ID.

The above screen indicates that the panel is trying to communicate with the NV9000 Server. If all is OK, the Control Panel boots up in the default state; otherwise an error message appears.

� Note: If the above sequence of screen displays do not occur, refer to “Troubleshooting” inSection 4.

Page 2-12


SETTING THE PANEL ID AT THE PANEL

The final step to placing your NV9601 X-Y Control Panel in service is loading its configuration from the NV9000 server. This is done by setting its Panel ID to the Panel ID assigned in the Configuration Manager. To set the Panel ID at the NV9601 Panel, use the following procedure:

1. If you have not already done so, connect the power cord to the panel and ensure that the Ethernet cable is disconnected.

2. As the panel goes through boot up (see “Applying Power to the Panel), wait until [Page Up] lights and then press [Page Up].

The Firmware Menu shown below appears on the display. Below the display, line selection buttons [1] - [3] and [8] go On (light). Note that you must press [8] to exit this menu.

3. Press line selection button [1] to select Firmware Menu item Panel ID, which allows you to assign an ID at the panel. The display shown below appears and the keypad buttons and line selection buttons [7] and [8] go On (light). Note that the Panel ID can be changed in this menu even if the Panel ID has been configured as read-only in the NV9601 Configuration Editor.

4. Use the numeric keypad to enter a new Panel ID. Press [8] to save the new ID or [7] to cancel the operation. Pressing [7] returns you to the Firmware Menu. If you press [8], when the Ethernet cable is reconnected and the NV9000 software is running, the Panel immediately assumes the configuration assigned in the Configuration Manager.

This completes basic installation of the NV9601 Control Panel. For information about how to operate the panel, see Section 3, “NV9601 Operation” in this manual. For information about panel configuration, see the NV9000 Configuration Manager User Guide.

NV9601 GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION

The following pages provide general information about panel behavior.

Numeric Entry General Information

When you select a menu that requires numeric entries, the ten key pad buttons light. These buttons are labeled 0-9 and may be used to enter numbers. Digits enter the display on the right and move to the left as more numbers are entered. If you enter more than eight digits, numbers at the left end of the display are discarded. For example, if you enter 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 3 - 6, the first 5 that you entered is discarded because the number of digits you entered exceeds 8.

NV9601 BUTTON DESCRIPTIONS

The following describes the functions of the buttons in the NV9601 Panel.

Table 3-2. NV9601 Button Descriptions

BUTTON DESCRIPTION[Clear] Use this button to clear the current source or destination device selection while in the selec-

tion process. For example, in the highlighted portion of the illustration below, while in the process of selecting a device (VTR 3) you inadvertently press [2] instead of [3]. Pressing [Clear] erases VTR 2 and you can then begin the selection process again.

[Clear Prst] Press this button to remove the entries in the Preset column of the panel display and the cur-rent selection entry in the first column. All levels are reselected in X-Y mode or all destina-tions are deselected in Multi-Destination mode.

[Def State] Press this button to return the panel to a pre-defined default state defined in the NV9601 Configuration Editor.

[Dest] Press this button to enter the Destination Selection mode. When pressed, all destination related buttons become available (dim amber), some buttons go from green to amber, and some buttons stay green.

[Free Src] In X-Y mode, press this button to load the free source into the preset field of the current des-tination. When [Take] is pressed, selected levels of the free source are taken to the level set of the destination, and any level mappings are removed. In Multi-Destination mode, press this button to load defined free source(s) into the preset fields of the selected destination(s). The free source is defined in the Configuration Manager.

[Hold] Use this button to retain selection of one or more levels or destinations after a Take, instead of returning to selection of all levels or of no destinations. To use, press [Hold] and then, below the display, press the [1] through [8] line selection buttons for the items you want to retain. Press [Hold] again to turn Hold Off.

[Info] Press this button to show additional information on the display. An example of an informa-tion message is shown below. To return to the previous selection display, press [Info] again.

[Lock] Use this button to safeguard your work from inadvertent switching or unauthorized viewing. Access to this function is based on the user ID of the Control Panel (i.e., the owner). [Lock] acts as a toggle to Lock (if not locked) or Release (if locked) and both source and destina-tion devices can be locked/released. To Lock all levels of the destination device in X-Y mode, after a Take (and without [Hold] active), press [Lock]. An L appears next to all the levels.

To Lock some selectable levels of the destination device in X-Y mode or selectable destina-tions in Multi-Destination mode, use the line selection buttons below the display ([1] - [8]) to select the line (level or destination) for the device to be locked and press [Lock]. An L appears next to all the selected levels (in X-Y mode) or destinations (in Multi-Destination mode).

To unlock (Release) all levels of a locked device in X-Y mode, press [Lock]. To Release some previously locked levels of a destination device in X-Y mode or previously locked devices in Multi-Destination mode, use the line selection buttons below the display ([1] - [8]) to select the line (level or destination) the level/device is on and press [Lock].

Source: A source device Lock prevents viewing the source device by any other device or switching the source device to any other device. To Lock or Release a source device, you must be in the source device selection mode. The Lock affects the selected levels of the source device. In X-Y mode, the L will be displayed in the Status column for each affected level. In Multi-Destination mode, the L appears in the Status column for a source that has a locked primary level.

Destination: A destination device Lock prevents a change of the source device for that des-tination device, even by the owner. To Lock or Release a destination device, you must be in the destination device selection mode.The Lock affects the selected levels of the current destination device. In X-Y mode, the L is displayed in the Level/Dest column for each affected level. In Multi-Destination mode, the L appears in the Level/Dest column for a destination that has a locked primary level.

A level on a source or destination device connected to a locked port on an NVISION data router is said to be path locked. An I appears on a level to indicate when the level on a source or destination device is path locked.

Note that a button can be programmed to force Release (unlock) a locked device. The force Release function allows the NV9601 to Release any locked device, regardless of the owner who originally set the lock. However, the same panel cannot be programmed for both Release and force Release (i.e., the functions are mutually exclusive). Also, a locked device cannot be downgraded to a protected device without first being released. (See [Prot] later in this discussion.)

[Lvl Map] or [Level] Select this button to remap virtual levels. Allows mapping of source levels to different desti-nation levels. For example, source levels AES 1/2 could be mapped to destination AES 3/4.

[Menu] See "NV9601 Menu Description" on page 3-8.

[Page Dn] Press this button to scroll down, one page at time, through pages of levels when in the X-Y mode, pages of destinations when in the Multi-Destination mode, or pages of salvos when in Salvo Creation/Execution mode. The button is lit (On) when additional levels, destinations, or salvos are available. If On, it will go Off (unlit) when the last page of levels, destinations, or salvos is on the display. This button is also used in conjunction with [Scrl] to scroll through sources and destinations.

[Page Up] Press this button to scroll up, one page at time, through pages of levels, destinations, or sal-vos when you have scrolled down. The button is unlit (Off) when you are on page 1 and lit (On) at any other page. If On, it will go Off when you return to page 1. This button is also used in conjunction with [Scrl] to scroll through sources and destinations.


BUTTON DESCRIPTION

Page 3-6


[Prev Src] Press this button to load the previously switched source for the current destination(s) into the preset field(s) of the current destination(s). This is useful if you need to repeatedly tog-gle between sources or recover from a mistaken source selection. Note that the level map-pings of the previous source are used. Also note that the previous source may not be the last source switched by this panel; it may have been switched at another panel.

[Prot] Use this button to safeguard your work from inadvertent switching or unauthorized viewing. Access to this function is based on the user ID of the Control Panel (i.e., the owner). [Prot] acts as a toggle to Protect (if not protected) or Release (if protected) and both source and destination devices can be protected/released.

To Protect all levels of the destination device in X-Y mode, after a Take (and without [Hold] active), press [Prot]. On the display, a P appears next to all selected levels.

To Protect some levels of the destination device in X-Y mode or destinations in Multi-Des-tination mode, use the line selection buttons below the display ([1] - [8]) to select the line (level or destination) for the device to be protected and press [Prot]. A P appears by selected levels (in X-Y mode) or destinations (in Multi-Destination mode).

To unprotect (Release) all levels of a protected device in X-Y mode, press [Prot]. To Release previously protected levels of a destination device in X-Y mode or previously pro-tected destinations in Multi-Destination mode, use the line selection buttons below the dis-play ([1] - [8]) to select the line (level or destination) the level/device is on and press [Prot].

Source: A source device Protect allows only the owner to switch that device to another des-tination device. To Protect or Release a source device, you must be in the source device selection mode. The Protect affects the selected levels of the source device. In X-Y mode, the P is displayed in the Status column for each affected level. In Multi-Destination mode, the P appears in the Status column for a source that has a protected primary level.

Destination: A destination device Protect allows only the owner to change the source device routed to that destination device. To Protect or Release a destination device, you must be in the destination device selection mode. The Protect affects the selected levels of the current destination device. In X-Y mode, the P is displayed in the Level/Dest column for each affected level. In Multi-Destination mode, the P appears in the Level/Dest column for a destination that has a protected primary level.

A level on a source or destination device connected to a protected port is said to be path protected. An I appears on a level to indicate when the level on a source or destination device is path protected.

Note that a button can be programmed to force Release (unprotect) a protected device. The force Release function allows the NV9601 to Release a protected device, regardless of the owner who originally set the Protect. However, the same panel cannot be programmed for both Release and force Release (i.e., the functions are mutually exclusive). A protected device can be upgraded to a locked device without first being released. (See [Lock] button.)

[Salvo] See "NV9601 Salvo Description" on page 3-12.

[Save Prst] Press this button to save the preset source devices and level mappings currently shown in the Preset column. (This function is not available in Multi-Destination mode.)

[Scrl] Use this button to scroll through the device list for a selected category.

[Src] Press this button to enter the Source Selection mode. When pressed, all source related but-tons go On (light), some buttons go from amber to green, and some buttons stay amber.

[Take] Press this button to perform the switch from the currently selected source device(s) to the currently selected destination device(s). The switch data goes from the NV9601, through the NV9000 Server, to the selected Router(s).

[XY/Mult] Press this button to select either X-Y mode of operation or Multi-Destination mode of oper-ation. See "NV9601 Operating Procedures" on page 3-16 for more information.

Column 2

Column 2 (Figure 3-1) shows the preset sources for the selected levels. A different Preset may be selected for each level. If a Preset is not available or possible, the field contains dashes (- - -).

The levels selected are: HDVideo, AES 1/2, AES 3/4, TimeCode, and Control.

Dashes (- - -) appear on the SDVideo, AnVideo, and AnAudio lines to indicate they are not defined for this destination’s configuration.

VTR-02 is the preset source device for the destination device Monitor 1.

Note the following:

• If a source is locked, an L appears to the left of that source.

• If a source is protected, a P appears for that source.

• If a level on a source is path locked or path protected (for use with NVISION data routers), an I appears in the status column for that level.

Column 3

Column 3 shows the status of the sources in use. The L indicates VTR-01 is locked to Monitor 1. The + (plus sign) indicates additional information is available. Note that if the status is unknown or unavailable, the field contains asterisks (* * *).

Column 4

Column 4 shows the mnemonic for the levels in the level set for the destination device identified in Column 1. Note that a device’s level set is determined through the Configuration Manager.

• If a level on the destination device is protected, a P appears next to that device.

• If a level on the destination device is locked, an L appears next to that device.

• If a level on a destination device is path locked or path protected (for use with NVISION data routers), an I appears to the left of that level.
