Operations Routine 4 Chapter

Daily schedule editing functions

The BZNP-D1 software provides the following daily schedule editing functions:

•Adding events (see page 48)

•Replacing events with another playlist or control command (see page 48)

•Deleting events (see page 48)

•Modifying the start time of an event (see page 48)

•Modifying the duration or the end time of an event (see page 49)

•Undoing the last editing operation (see page 49)

Adding events

1 Select a playlist or a control command in the Content Management window.

2 Add the selected playlist or control command to the corresponding column of the daily schedule by a drag & drop operation.

The dropped playlist or control command is added to the daily schedule as an event. The color of the cell where the event is specified changes to light blue. At this moment, the duration of the playlist event is identical to the dropped playlist, and that of the control command event is one second, on the list, regardless of the time that would take to complete the task.

3 Modify the duration of the playlist event, if necessary. (The duration of a control command event cannot be changed.)

Right-click the event, and select [Change Duration] on the popup menu.

The Change Duration dialog box appears. The current event duration is shown in it.

4 Modify the duration of the playlist event as desired, then click [OK].

When you extend the event duration, the playlist will be played repeatedly within the duration. When you shorten the duration, playout of the playlist will stop in the middle.

Hint

To insert an event at the top of the daily schedule or between two consecutive cells, hold down the Ctrl key and drop the desired playlist or control command on the lower cell that comes immediately after the insertion point. Then adjust the start time and/or duration of the event, if necessary.

Replacing the playlist or control command specified in a cell with another

Paste the desired playlist or control command from the Contents Management window by a drag & drop operation.

The playlist or control command specified in that cell will be overwritten by the newly pasted playlist or control command.

Deleting events

1 Right-click the event to be deleted in the Daily Schedule window, then click [Delete] on the popup menu.

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

A confirmation message appears.

2 Click [Yes].

The event is deleted.

Hint

To select both the control command and playlist events on the same line of the daily schedule, click the leftmost Start Time column.

Modifying the start time of an event

Note

This operation adjusts the start time of an event and cannot be used to move the event in the Daily Schedule window.

1 Right-click the desired event in the Daily Schedule window, then click [Change Start Time] on the popup menu.

The Change Start Time dialog box appears. The current start time of the event is shown in it.

2 Modify the start time as desired, then click [OK].
