Material Management Window - Graphics Tab

The Material Management window is used to manage the four types of materials, and the playlists.

The Graphics tab lists registered graphics materials. A white background color indicates that the bitmap file has already been converted into the NSP format, while a green background color indicates that the graphics material data has been registered but has not yet been converted.

PC File Management and NSP-100 Remote File Management Option Buttons, NSP-100 Drop-down List Box and Update Button

Select either of the two option buttons, depending on the place where the desired graphics materials are stored.

Normally, the PC File Management option button is selected. Select the NSP-100 Remote File Management option button, however, to check (preview on PC) or delete materials stored on a network player. In such a case, select the desired network player from the NSP-100 drop-down list box. The Update button is used to update the list of materials stored on the selected network player.

List, Same Sorting as NSP-100 Button

The list displays the graphics material stored in the selected location. Temporary pieces of material are listed at the bottom.

You can sort (ascending order) the material by clicking the title of the desired column. When the NSP-100 Remote File Management option button is selected, clicking the Same Sorting as NSP-100 button arranges the material in the order shown on the NSP- 100.

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, view the picture, specify or clear the date of deletion, right-click the desired piece of material and select the desired command from the menu.

To change the standby screen, power off the network players after selecting the command, then power them on again.

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 new piece of material at the bottom of the list. It is used to register material information to create a playlist before obtaining the graphics file. When the graphics 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 bitmap and JPEG files into the 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.
