Parameter Settings Dialog Box

The Parameter Settings dialog box allows you to specify the parameters used when converting the selected video file into NSP format.

Protection Drop-down List Box

Select ON to convert the video file to the protected NSP format, or OFF for the non- protected format.

Protected NSP format video files can only be played on network players. They cannot be previewed on a PC.

File Size Drop-down List Box

Specifies the size of video material files managed by the system.

The system sometimes divides a piece of video material into several files for file transfer efficiency. Select [Large] (default setting), normally. Select [Small], when your system has specially been set to start playout of video material on the network players before they receive the entire material data (simultaneous acquisition and replay), or on a system where the network players obtain materials and playlists from an FTP server.

AVI Section

Contains the parameters that are used only when an AVI file is converted into NSP format.

Video Rate Spin Box

Specifies the bit rate (unit: Mbps) of conversion. Specifying a larger value results in a larger file and better video quality whereas a smaller value results in a smaller file but lower video quality.

Note

The system manages AVI files with a duration of from five seconds through 150 minutes. Conversion will automatically stop when the material duration exceeds 150 minutes.

Filter (Audio) Drop-down List Box

Selects whether audio noise (low-level audio signals) should be cut upon conversion. Normally, leave this set to OFF. Set it to ON if the converted video files contain unacceptable audio noise.
