NV9000 Control System

Powerful personalized control solution for demanding workflows.

The Most Advanced Control System Available

The NV9000 router control system is the most broad and application-specific system available, offering the most efficient control paradigms that helps operators execute signal routing fast and error free from a highly resilient router controller platform.

The NV9000 panel series includes a wide range of highly adapted panels for superior control. The panel range includes informative and easy to use LCD relegendable panels, multidestination panels, multimode button per source panels, destination/source (XY) panels, and the powerful RCP-200 smart panel. The Grass Valley panel series is the most comprehensive line of panels...

FEATURES

Flexible routing system architectures

  • Scalable from small to very large systems
  • Supports up to 400 control panels and up to 64 routers per system controller
  • Virtual panels provide control from any network PC
  • Centralized or distributed router architectures connect via Ethernet

Simplified configuration

  • Dynamic changes without system restart for many parameters
  • Offline configuration as well as data import and export
  • Powerful relational database management so configuration data only needs to be entered once
  • Source and destination device aliasing supports multiple name sets

Wide selection of control panels

  • XY, multidestination, multimode, LCD relengendable
  • Hardware and software versions

Facility-wide router integration

  • Rich integration across a facility, with multiviewers, signal processing, production switchers, master control switchers, audio consoles and tally systems — including third-party equipment
  • SNMP support
  • Legacy router integration
  • Control system allows simpler, incremental path to 3G/HD routing from third-party legacy router infrastructure, with phased transition to NV9000 control

Powered by COTS

  • Built on Microsoft Windows 10 operating system, provides security and management tools that are familiar to IT managers, including Windows Defender and the latest Microsoft service packs
  • Streamlined code base for faster system response times and additional performance stability
  • Uses generic COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) server from Dell, pre-packaged with all the required Grass Valley software, hardware and licenses to deliver high-performance baseband broadcast routing control

ORDERING INFORMATION

The NV9000 control system is an advanced platform for routing control. Different configurations of the system controllers are available to address a broad range of requirements with regards to features, function and redundancy. NV9000-HW-PRI uses a single 1 RU system controller; NV9000-HW-DUAL uses a pair of 1 RU system controllers to offer full redundancy. NV9000-HW-CO includes a pair of system controllers, RS-485 port cards, NV9700 remote diagnostic and change-over panel, as well as all cables required to connect the included components together.

All system controllers are rack mounted and come with redundant power supplies. Customers must supply all monitors, keyboards or mice to be connected to the system controller platforms. All software preloaded, including drivers, to control any Grass Valley routers including NVISION series, Trinix and Apex as well as including drivers to interface with Encore, Jupiter and SMS-7000 controllers and Snell (Pro-Bel) systems.

Optional software is available to control Philips/BTS, Utah Scientific, Horizon, Pesa, Sony, ISIS, and Datatek systems.

Third-party interfaces are available for SNMP, Snell (Pro-Bel) and SMS-MCPU Bridge. Other core system options include tie-line management software and remote diagnostics software.
