The duration of the added event varies depending on the material dropped.

In the case of video, Flash, audio material or scrolled text, that has its own duration, the event duration will be identical to the material duration.

In the case of one of the other types of materials, the duration will be the value defined in the software.

that, and it does not allow you to reduce the duration.

 

If you drop a one-second audio file, for example, the

 

duration of the event made from it will be five seconds.

 

And on the NSP-1, the audio file will be played during the

Inserting an event at the beginning or middle of a playlist does not affect the event start times on the other layers. Check the start times of the inserted event and the events on the other layers, and adjust them, if required.

See “Modifying the start time of an event” on page 41 for details.

To use a video/audio input to the NSP-1 VIDEO IN/ AUDIO IN connectors as a video event

The video layer accommodates the video/audio input to the NSP-1 VIDEO IN and AUDIO IN connectors upon playout, as well as the video material registered in the BZNP-D1 software.

This feature enables you to include live video or TV programs in the playlists.

When a Flash movie and/or audio events are specified on the same line as this external video/audio event, the audio input to the AUDIO IN connector will not be output.

1 Right-click the desired cell of the Video column in the Playlist window, then select [External Input] on the popup menu.

The external video/audio event is displayed as “External Input” on the playlist.

2 Modify the event duration, if necessary, like the other kinds of events.

Right-click the added event, select [Change Duration] on the popup menu, modify the event duration in the Change Duration dialog box, then click [OK].

Deleting events

Right-click the event to be deleted on the playlist, then click [Delete] on the popup menu.

Or, select the event to be deleted, then press the Delete key.

When a confirmation message appears, click [Yes].

Hint

To select all events on the same line of the playlist, click the leftmost Start Time column.
