Importing Materials and Playlist Modules Created with the BZNP-A1
If you created contents using the Sony BZNP-A1 authoring software, and converted it into playlist modules for distribution to network players, the BZNP-100 enables you to import and use such materials and playlist modules for playlist creation, so that the contents can be distributed and played on network players.
There are two cases where distribution data created with the BZNP-A1 can be used. Refer also to the system guide and the BZNP-100 "Operations Guide (For Using Content Created with the BZNP-A1)" for details of the operation.
Note
The BZNP-100 does not perform automatic scheduled playlist sending and automatic re-sending for transfer failures while it is updating material and playlist module data, or importing packaged materials and playlist modules.
