Hint

When a material tab is selected in the Content Management window, the background of the layer name changes to yellow showing that the data on the tab can be dropped on that layer.

The position and size data based on the selected template are added to the dropped material and it appears on the playlist as an event. The color of the cell where the event is specified changes to light blue.

6 Repeat step 5, or from steps 3 to 5 to create the playlist.

If necessary, edit the newly added event, for example, modify the duration of the event.

See “Playlist Editing Functions” on page 39 for detailed information on playlist editing functions.

Note

When you change a template whose layer settings are different, in the middle of the playlist, the layers that are not used in the new template will disappear.

The events specified on these layers are still stored, and will re-appear if you select a template in which those layers are used.

However, when the playlist is saved, the BZNP-D1 software only saves the events on the layers that are used in the template at the time of saving.

It is recommended that you make the layer settings of the templates identical when they may be used in a single playlist. If this is not possible, select a template

in which all the necessary layers are to be used every time, before saving the playlist.

7 Select [Playlist] > [Save] on the menu bar of the main window.

The playlist is saved. It appears on the Playlist tab of the Content Management window.

8 Specify the type and title of the saved playlist. Select the playlist in the Content Management window, then click its Type or Title column. This makes the column editable.

Specify the type (up to 20 characters) or title (up to 40 characters), and then press the Enter key.

9 To finish working with this playlist, select [Playlist] > [New] on the menu bar of the main window to clear the Playlist window.

To preview the playlist being edited

Right-click any point in the Playlist window, then select [Send the Playlist to NSP-1 and Preview] on the popup menu. This sends the playlist that is currently being edited to all the NSP-1 players of the selected group and starts previewing. Check the contents on the connected display.

To stop the preview, right-click any point in the Playlist window again, then select [Stop Previewing].

Note

This operation sends the playlist to all NSP-1 players of the group for preview. When there is an ongoing playout on the NSP-1 players, the ongoing playout is terminated.
