Playlist Preparations

Chapter 4 Routine Operations

• As the duration of the shortest event on the playlists is

five seconds, the BZNP-D1 software sets the duration of

the event for a piece of material whose duration is less

than that, and it does not allow you to reduce the

duration.

If you specify a one-second audio file, for example, the

duration of the event made from it will be five seconds.

And on the NSP-1, the audio file will be played during

the first one second, then there will be no audio in the

remaining four seconds.

Note this when you handle materials shorter than five

seconds, as other types of materials will be played in the

same manner.

Undoing the last editing operation

Holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the Z key undoes

the last editing operation.

Note that, however, operations related to the screen layout

cannot be undone.

Checking or selecting a template

Screen layout, that is a set of the sizes and positions of the

materials on the display layers (except for the fixed

positioned background layer), is defined when materials

are dropped on the playlist.

You can check which template is currently selected, or

select another template for the materials that you are

adding to the playlist, in the following procedure:

Select [Settings] > [Template Settings] on the menu

bar.

The Screen Layout window and the Template Settings

dialog box appear.

The Template drop-down list box shows the template

currently selected. The Screen Layout window shows

the layout settings of the selected template.

To select another template, select the desired one using

the Template drop-down list box, then click [OK].

To continue using the current template, simply click

[OK] or [Cancel] to close the windows.

• When you change a template whose layer settings are

different in the middle of the playlist, the layers that are

not used in the new template will disappear.

The events specified on these layers are still stored, and

will re-appear if you select a template in which those

layers are used.

However, upon saving the playlist, the BZNP-D1

software only saves the events on the layers that are used

in the template at the time of saving.

It is recommended that you make the layer settings of the

templates identical when they may be used in a single

playlist. If this is not possible, select a template in which

all the necessary layers are set to be used every time

before saving the playlist.

• There are various limitations in the position and size of

each layer of an NSP-1. After you finish creating a

playlist, make sure to check if the materials are displayed

as intended by previewing the playlist on the NSP-1.

For information on how to preview a playlist, see

“Checking Playout (Previewing on an NSP-1)” on page

53.

Material Playout on the NSP-1

Video When playback of the video file finishes, a

frozen picture of the last frame is displayed

until the specified end of the event. The

sound accompanying the video will not be

output while the frozen picture is displayed.

Flash movie If the Flash movie was specified to repeat

when being created, playout will repeat

from the beginning. If not, a frozen picture

of the last frame will be displayed just as it

is with a video event.

Audio After playback of the audio file finishes, no

sound is output from this layer. So it is

better not to expand the duration of audio

events. To repeat an audio file, specify the

event several times in the playlist according

to the duration of the file and the time you

need the audio.
