Checking Materials (Preview)

The following procedures enable you to check the contents of the material.

In the case of a piece of video or graphics material, the picture appears in the Preview window. The Preview window for the video material has video control buttons and a slider used to check the desired part of the video.

In the case of a piece of character text material, the Edit Text dialog box appears.

Note

•The system sometimes divides a piece of video material into several files upon conversion for file transfer efficiency. In such a case, you can only preview the top (first file) of the video material.

•Previewing video material requires a playback function for MPEG2 files that is not included in the BZNP-100 software package. Purchase a utility software application for MPEG2 playback and install it to preview MPEG2 files. We are unable to provide one for free because of issues related to the license agreement.

AVI files, however, can be played back using DirectShow.

Note that it is not possible to play VSR-2000/2000A files (pre-conversion) on the PC.

When Converting Video or Graphics Files into NSP Format

On the video or graphics file list (upper list) in the Convert Material window, right-click the desired file, then click [Preview on PC] on the menu.

In the Material Management Window

Right-click the desired piece of material, then click [Preview on PC] (or [Edit] for character text material) on the menu.

When Editing Playlists

For video, graphics or text material list in the Edit Playlist window, right-click the desired piece of material, then click [Preview on PC] (or [Display/Edit] in the case of character text material).

Hint

You can use urgent playout function for preview of materials and playlists on a network player, provided you have a monitor connected to the network player near you.
