To modify the type and/or title of a piece of material, double click the desired column, modify the text, then press the Enter key. To delete the material, check the picture (preview on the PC), specify or clear the date of deletion, right-click the desired piece of material and select the desired command from the menu.

Note

When the material stored on a network player is listed, note that the video material displayed in red, if any, cannot be used for playout because the required file(s) of the material is/are missing.

Delete the piece(s) of material displayed in red, then send the playlist again to resend such material.

Hint

If an event type or title is longer than the width of the list, and thus it is not fully displayed, move the mouse pointer over the code, type, or title. The entire text pops up.

Temporary File Button

Adds a data record for a piece of new material at the bottom of the list. It is used to register material information to create a playlist before obtaining the video file. When the video file becomes available, you can assign the file to the piece of material data when conversion takes place.

Convert Material Button

Opens the Convert Material window to convert AVI, MPEG2, and VSR-2000/2000A video files into NSP format.

Destination Drop-down List Box, Send and Abort Buttons

These are used to specify the destination network player group and send the selected material(s). The Abort button cancels material transfer. These controls appear only when the PC File Management option button is selected.

Urgent Section (Play and Stop Buttons)

When the PC File Management option button is selected, the play button is used for urgent playout in which the selected piece of material is sent to a specified network player group, and playout starts as soon as each network player receives the material. When the NSP-100 Remote File Management option button is selected, the play button is used to play a piece of material on the selected network player.

In either case, the play and stop buttons control urgent playout currently being performed on the selected network player or the network players in the selected group.

Note

The urgent playout function interrupts playout currently being carried out on the network player. Ongoing playout stops, and the selected piece of material will be played.

Also, scheduled playout will not start during urgent playout. Check the network player status in the NSP-100 Status window before starting urgent playout, and click the stop button at the end.
