Note

999000 and greater index numbers for each piece of content are reserved for system use. You cannot enter 999000 or greater number in the text boxes.

Video Format drop-down list box

Select the video system (NTSC or PAL) of the video material that you want to use. Usually you will select the video system used in the television system of your country. Only video material corresponding to the selected video system is displayed on the Video tab of the Content Management window.

Base Folder text box

Specify the folder where you want to save the materials, playlists, and schedules. They are saved in sub folders created in the specified base folder according to their data types.

Usually, you need not change the setting. When more than one computer installed with the BZNP-D1 software uses materials in a network shared folder, enter the absolute path, or the relative path from the folder where the BZNP- D1 software is installed. Or click [Browse] and then select the desired folder from the folder tree.

When different operators use different computers to create and register materials, edit playlist and schedules, and send data respectively, you can make operations much easier by specifying the appropriate base folder. Any change in data performed by other operators working with a different computer, however, will only be checked when the BZNP- D1 software is started.

Notes

•Video, graphics, Flash, and audio materials created using other application programs are not saved under the base folder. When they are registered in the BZNP-D1 software, information describing the original file locations is saved together with their material data such as data type and titles.

•If you change the base folder after you create materials, playlists, or schedules, you will no longer be able to use those materials, playlists, or schedules.

•When more than one computer installed with the BZNP- D1 software uses materials in a shared folder, if multiple operators create or edit the material, playlist, or schedule with an the identical index, the newest one will overwrite the older ones. To avoid overwriting, specify a different BZNP-D1 ID on each computer.

Network tab

Prohibit Network Communication Between spin boxes

Specify the time period (24-hour system) when you want to prohibit communication with the NSP-1 players. Usually the same period as the NSP-1 sleep time is specified, but you can set the hours in the daytime so that the data will not be sent in the daytime while network traffic is heavy. However, note that it is not possible to check and delete contents stored on the NSP-1 players, or preview content on the NSP-1 player during this time.

Hint

If you attempt to send playout schedule data within the time period specified here, operation of the BZNP-D1 software will be suspended. After the time period has passed, the BZNP-D1 software automatically sends the data to NSP-1 players, as you requested.

For example, where you are allowed to send data only during the night, and 10:00 - 22:00 is specified here, the BZNP-D1 software waits until 22:00 if you send data at 17:00. As it automatically sends data after 22:00, you are not required to stay at the office.

However, the BZNP-D1 software only accepts limited operations while it is suspended. You cannot send data for more than one group in the time period specified here.
