Select the layer in the Screen Layout window, right- click it, then select [Full-screen Size], [Quarter- screen Size] or [Original size].

[Full-screen Size] and [Quarter-screen Size] can be used for the Graphics, Video, and Logo layers. [Original Size] can be used only for the Video layer, and it restricts the layer size to 640 x 480 (or 480 x

640) pixels.

When you click any point in the Template Settings dialog box, the values change accordingly.

Change the values of the relevant text boxes in the Playlist Layout Settings dialog box.

By changing values and clicking any point in the Screen Layout window, the position and/or size of the layer(s) in the Screen Layout window change accordingly.

For the Graphics, Video, and Logo layers, you can set the aspect ratio of the layers identical to that of the material file assigned in the playlist, by placing check marks in the Original Aspect Ratio check boxes.

Note that, however, for layers other than the Video layer, the layout changing procedure is required during playlist editing to make the aspect ratio of the layers identical to those of the material files. Otherwise, contents will be shown in the aspect ratio of the layers, not of the material files. And, for web pages affixed on the Graphics layer, this setting will not work, as the BZNP-D1 software cannot obtain the size and shape of the original web pages.

For the Video layer, the aspect ratio will be 4:3 (or 3:4 if the screen orientation set is “Portrait”) regardless of the aspect ratio of the original video.

4 Click [OK].

The Screen Layout window and Template Settings dialog box close.

Notes

You cannot change the overlaid order of the layers.

The background layer is always displayed in full-screen size.

Note that when you use more than one template in a playlist, 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 keep layers which you may use in another template, because the layers will affect playout only when a piece of material is specified as an event.

Depending on the display orientation (landscape or portrait), and the combination and overlapping of the layers used, the NSP-1 may not be able to display the contents according to the specified layout. After you finish creating a playlist, make sure to check if the materials are displayed as intended by previewing the playlist on an NSP-1.

For details on how to preview a playlist, see “Checking Playout (Previewing on an NSP-1)” on page 53.
