Setting Up the Software

Before creating materials and playlists, there is some setup necessary: setup of the software and registration related to the NSP-100.

For the software, you have to open the Setup dialog box, then check and modify, if necessary, the following setup items.

1Click [Setup] on the main menu.

2Select “Schedule” to use the Scheduling Application.

3 Select your video signal format, NTSC or PAL.

4 Click [OK].

Note: If you change the application mode or video format, a message appears after step 4, asking whether you would like to restart the software. Click [Yes].

Recommended Settings in the Setup Dialog Box

Apart from the procedure of creating the demonstration contents, we recommend that you specify the following settings in the Setup dialog box:

Automatic Sending of Scheduled Playlists (All Groups) Section (for Scheduling Application Only)

It specifies whether the system automatically sends playlists and the necessary materials to the network players.

When you do not want to allow automatic sending, select [No Send] in the Mode drop-down list box. [Send (All Day)] allows the system to send newly created playlists at any time, and [Send (Limited Time)] only allows the system to send them during a specified time frame during the day. To allow automatic playlist sending, specify the retry interval (hours:minutes) in the Interval text boxes, too. For example, you would use “0:30” in the case of a 30-minute interval.

When selecting [Send (Limited Time)], specify the time when the system sends the playlist, too.

We recommend that you select [Send (Limited Time)], and specify a time such that there is no conflict with the daily HDD sleep time (default: 3:00am).

Retry for Manual Sending Section

It specifies whether the system automatically re-sends materials and/or playlists that were sent manually, in the event an error occurs.

We recommend that you select [Yes] as it allows the BZNP-100 software to more efficiently manage automatic re-transfer of playlists and materials if a transfer error occurs.
