Router controlAugust 26th, 2008

The NV9000 is the ultimate router control system for any broadcast facility, controlling up to 250 routers, 400 control panels, and up to 250 physical and 512 virtual levels. Its hardware foundation is a new, purpose-built system controller, developed and manufactured by AXON to provide the industry’s highest level of functionality, performance, and reliability. Combine two NV9000 system controllers to build a fully redundant control system. Standard features include redundant power supplies, solid state hard drive, six Network Control Points, and the NV9000-SE configuration utility, a simplified, intuitive, and powerful user interface. 

Like all AXON systems, the NV9000 is scaleable and upgradeable so that broadcasters can build and purchase a control system to support their current requirements, and add more features and functionality as their needs change.

AXON is also announcing new, advanced control-panel upgrades, which simplify user operations and offer increased system functionality:  

New – NV9607 Control Panel: 2RU panel (2.5” deep) with 116 buttons and a user-configurable display, showing up to eight levels at a time. The NV9607 is a multi-mode, maximum button-density virtual panel that supports single destination, multi-destination, or limited XY operation.

New – NV9606 Control Panel: 1RU panel (2.5” deep) with 68 buttons. The NV9606 is a singled destination or XY panel that can also be slaved to the NV9607. 

Upgraded - NV9640 Control Panel: 2RU panel (2.5” deep) with 30 relegendable LCD buttons that are configured as a decision tree to guide the user through the applicable source choices.  

Upgraded - NV9641 Control Panel: 1RU LCD control panel (2.5” deep) with 16 relegendable LCD buttons that are configured as a decision tree to guide the user through the applicable source choices. 

New – EC9790 Virtual Control Panels: A five-seat client license offers Java-based GUI panels for nearly all the AXON hardware control panels. The Java-based panels emulate the hardware control panels with the same functionality and configuration files.
