Overview of the System

Chapter 1 Overview

Creating playout schedule for an NSP-1

• Creating playlists (including specifying layout settings)

• Creating a daily schedule

Listing playlists and control commands

• Creating a periodic schedule

Specifying the period when the daily schedule is to be

used.

Distribution to an NSP-1

• Sending materials, playlists and schedules

• Sending text for overriding content currently being

played on the NSP-1.

• Checking transfer status

• Checking the NSP-1 status, playout schedules, and

results (by connecting to the NSP-1 via a network and

utilizing a web page)

In addition to the above operations, the BZNP-D1 software

also provides the settings for BZNP-D1 configurations.

On layouts and playlists

The BZNP-D1 software manages an NSP-1 so as to

display and play respective pieces of material, or a

combination of materials.

While editing a playlist, you can specify a combination of

materials and the position of each piece of material to be

displayed on a screen as “layout.”

Order or timing of the materials to be played or other time-

related settings will be defined in a “playlist.”

Unlike other authoring software, the BZNP-D1 software

manages materials separately, rather than combining them

onto a timeline to create a piece of video material, and then

sends them to the NSP-1. The NSP-1 plays the materials

automatically, according to a playlist, which also includes

layout information, and schedule data received together

with the materials.

This feature allows you to quickly replace some pieces of

graphics and text materials that are small in data size, or to

modify the position of video and/or text on the graphics

material, or produce new combinations of the materials

simply by sending a new playlist. The system enables you

to fully utilize your audio and visual contents for flexible

playout.

For details on layouts and playlists, see “What is a

Playlist?” on page 35.

On schedules

A “playlist” defines playout order and timing of materials

in a story, like a TV program.

In addition to a playlist, the BZNP-D1 software defines a

“daily schedule” and a “periodic schedule,” which are

grouped and referred to as a “schedule.”

A “daily schedule” defines the start and end times, in a

day, of each program (or playlist). A program will be

played repeatedly in the specified time.

A “periodic schedule” defines which daily schedule is to

be used for a specific day. You can create a daily schedule

and allocate it to each week of a month or to each month

easily.

For details on schedules, see “Daily Schedules and

Periodic Schedules” on page 45.
