Hint

To check the priority on an NSP-1, click the NSP-1 (Remote Control) option button in the BZNP-D1 main window, select the desired NSP-1 in the NSP-1 drop-down list box, then click [Update].

After the Updating Information window is displayed, the list in the Content Management window shows the contents stored on the selected NSP-1. The periodic schedule that has been sent most recently, and hence has the highest priority, is displayed at the top of the list.

Specifying a non playout period

Periods when no playout will be done on the NSP-1 can be scheduled for each NSP-1 group, in the same manner as the playout periods.

Note

The non playout periods have higher priority than any playout periods, regardless of the transferred order. You can specify them in advance.

Note however, that playout will not be done on these non playout days even if you send periodic schedules in which the same days are specified as the playout period.

1 In the BZNP-D1 main window, check that the BZNP- D1 (PC) option button is selected, and select the group for which you want to create a new periodic schedule with a non playout period using the Group drop-down list box.

2 Select the Periodic Schedule tab of the Content Management window, right-click any point on the tab, then select [New] on the popup menu.

The Edit Periodic Schedule dialog box appears.

3 Select the No Playout option button, and specify the first and last days of the non playout period. Clicking the button of the drop-down list box displays a calendar. The date you click on the calendar will be specified in the drop-down list box.

4 Place check marks for the days in the Day of the Week check boxes to specify specific days of the week in the period.

You can click each check box separately, or use the [Check All] or [Clear All] button.

To specify the Mondays in a period as non playout days, for example, click [Clear All], then click the Monday check box.
