Operations Routine 4 Chapter

Checking a Piece of Text Material

To check a piece of text material, select [Send to NSP-1 and Override Playout] or [Override Playout] instead of [Send to NSP-1 and Preview] or [Preview on NSP-1]. And use [Stop Overriding] instead of [Stop Previewing].

This operation is also used to override playout on NSP-1 players with text in an emergency.

See “Overriding Playout with Text in an Emergency” on page 57 for details on text overriding operations.

Unlike the cases of other materials, this operation displays the selected piece of text material over contents that are being played on the NSP-1 players, not stopping ongoing playout on the NSP-1 players and displaying text instead. When there are pieces of text material contained in the ongoing playout, they will be replaced with the override text.

Notes

•When checking a piece of text material using [Send to NSP-1 and Override Playout], the NSP-1 players remain displaying override text until you select [Stop Overriding].

Text overriding continues even after playout of the current playlist finishes, or you preview a piece of material or playlist.

•When a piece of text material is contained in the ongoing playlist, that piece of text will not be displayed immediately after you click [Stop Overriding].

Text display starts from the next text event.

Checking a Control Command

To try a single control command on the NSP-1, use [Manual Control] instead of [Send to NSP-1 and Preview] or [Preview on NSP-1].

Sending Data to NSP-1 Players

When preparations of the materials, playlists, daily schedules, and periodic schedules have been finished, send them to the NSP-1 players.

Usually, select the periodic schedules and send them. This also sends the daily schedules, playlists, and materials that are required for playout of the selected periodic schedules simultaneously.

You can also send the daily schedules, playlists, or materials, separately.

Hints

•Materials, playlists, daily schedules, and periodic schedules are all essential to play back contents on the NSP-1.

•The BZNP-D1 never sends data that are have already been stored on the NSP-1, so that it will not waste time and bandwidth.

Sending Data Required for Playout

You can select and send periodic schedules, daily schedules, playlists, and materials using the following procedure. The periodic schedules for non playout periods can be sent in the same way.

Notes

•Playout on the NSP-1 will stop temporarily and restart from the beginning of the playlist if you send the following data during playout:

-A modified version of the playlist that is being played.

-A modified version of today’s daily schedule.

-A periodic schedule for a period containing today (for example, when you send a periodic schedule for a period from 8/1 to 8/31 on 8/15).

To avoid affecting playout on the NSP-1, exclude today and the past dates in the period. In the case of the example above, specify the period from 8/16 to 8/31 and send. Avoid sending new versions of playlists and daily schedules that are currently being used, too.

•If there is an NSP-1 whose hard disk is full, sending data to that NSP-1 will be terminated, but sending to the remaining NSP-1 players in the group continues.

After sending data to the group, delete unnecessary data on the NSP-1 with insufficient disk space, and resend the data. Automatic resending of data to the NSP-1 players is not performed if the error was caused by insufficient disk space.
