Sony BZNP-D1 Playlist Window

Playlist Window

The Playlist window enables you to combine registered materials, such as video, graphics, and text, to create a playlist that corresponds to a program. The NSP-1 plays out the materials according to the playlist created in this window.

The Playlist window contains columns, each corresponding to a layer that the NSP-1 handles.

Note

You can select the layers to be displayed.

Depending on the template selected, some of the layer columns will not be displayed.

For details, see “Making a Screen Layout Template” on page 23.

A “playlist” is a list of materials arranged as events in layer columns such as “Background,” “Graphics,” and “Video,” in the order of playout. In each cell in which a piece of material is specified as an event, its title is displayed. And the background color of such cells is light blue. When you move the mouse pointer over a title, a popup window showing the index, type, and title of the piece of material appears.

The “Start Time” column shows the start time of each event. Events on the same line will start playing simultaneously.

To create a playlist, drag the desired pieces of materials from the Content Management window and then drop them onto the list.

To modify the start time or delete an event, right-click the desired event and then select the desired command from the popup menu.

On the materials for playout and layers

While the tabs in the Content Management window are classified according to the formats and type of materials, the columns in the Playlist window represent the display layers that the NSP-1 handles.

The table below shows the relationships between material types and layers:
