Making a Screen Layout Template
Chapter 3 Setup Required upon Installation
In the Playlist window, only the layers having check
marks in this dialog box are displayed.
If you are not going to use the video layer, for
example, clear the Video check box so that the video
layer will not be displayed in the Playlist window.
If you clear a check box, the relevant layer in the
Screen Layout window will disappear.

Specify the sizes and positions of layers to be used.
Do the following for all the layers, respectively.
• Click the layer in the Screen Layout window, then
select a handle of the layer and drag it to the desired
position and size.
When you click any point in the Template Settings
dialog box, the values change according to the
position and size of the layer in the Screen Layout
window.
• 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
keep the aspect ratio of the layers identical to that of
the material file assigned in the playlist upon
changing layout, 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.

Click [Add] in the Template Settings dialog box, then
enter the name of the template on the newly added line
in the Template drop-down list box.
The settings are saved as a template.
7
Click [OK] in the Template Settings dialog box.
The Screen Layout window and the Template Settings
dialog box close.

Return to step 2 and make settings for another set of
screen resolution and orientation.
Or, return to step 3 and make another template.
• 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. The layers will affect playout only when a
piece of material is specified as an event.
• Depending on the screen 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
