Text Material Preparation - Character Text

The network players display text material, such as subtitles, together with video and/or graphics materials. To use text material for playout, prepare the required information, such as title, and the text to be displayed, then send them to the network players.

Changing the Font Color

The color of the text can be specified in the Properties dialog box. The system also enables you to specify another color for part of the text, provided the font installed on the PC (i.e. not the font of the NSP-100) is used.

1In the Font Settings section of the Properties dialog box, click the PC Installed option button, then select the desired font from the drop-down list box.

And, select [16 Colors] from the Color Depth option buttons, then click [OK].

2Type the text in the Edit Text dialog box, select the desired part by dragging the mouse, then right-click the selected part.

3Click [Font Color] on the right-click menu.

4Select the desired color from the 15 colors displayed in the Font Color Setting dialog box, then click [OK].

If the desired color is not shown, select an unnecessary color, click [Change Color] and replace the color of that cell.

Changing the Font Style

The system enables you to specify the font style, such as bold, italic or underlined for all or part of the text, provided the font installed on the PC (i.e. not the font of the NSP- 100) is used.

1Type the text in the Edit Text dialog box, select the desired text by dragging the mouse, then right-click the selected part.

2Click [Font Style] on the right-click menu, then click the desired font style from the cascading menu.

To cancel the specified font style, click the checked font style in the same way.

Note

Only one font face and size can be specified for each text material piece.

When the NSP-100 built-in font is used, you cannot specify the size, as there is only one size. Also, it is not possible to use more than one text color nor to make the text bold, italic, or underlined.
