column.

Edit the types and titles of the registered material, if
necessary.
Select a line, then click its Type or Title column,
specify the type (up to 20 characters) or title (up to 40

On registration of an announce file (SDP file) for
MPEG4 streaming video
NSP-1 players and the BZNP-D1 software support
MPEG4 live streaming video. Playing a live streaming
video on an NSP-1, unlike a normal video file whose
playout starts from the beginning of the file, consists of
displaying the contents played on the streaming server at
that time, just like video and audio input to the VIDEO IN
and AUDIO IN connectors of the NSP-1.
To register such a streaming video as a piece of video
material, the following operation is required:
1
Add the announce file (an SDP file with the .m4e file
extension) on the Video tab of the Content
Management window using a drag & drop operation.
Ask your supplier or Sony sales representative for
details on how to obtain the appropriate announce file,
as it varies depending on the streaming server used.
A new piece of video material appears in the Content
Management window. “Live Streaming” is displayed
in the Type column, and “00:00:00” is displayed in the
Duration column.
2
To specify the material duration, select the piece of
material, then click its Duration column. This makes
the column editable. Specify the desired duration, and
then press the Enter key.
You can also leave the material duration as
“00:00:00,” and specify the desired event duration
after listing this streaming video in a playlist as an
event.
To modify the duration of a video clip or Flash
movie
When you drop a video clip or Flash file in the Content
Management window, the BZNP-D1 checks its duration
and displays it in the Duration column. You can modify
this duration by selecting the line then clicking the
Duration column, in the same way as the type and title
columns.
Modification of the duration is useful in the following
cases, when the actual duration and that the BZNP-D1
software obtains are different:
• Duration shown in the Content Management window is
“00:00:00.”
The BZNP-D1 software may not recognize the duration
of a video clip when there is no DirectShow filter
installed on the PC where the BZNP-D1 software is
operating. It may not recognize the duration of a Flash
movie, either, depending on the condition in effect when
the Flash movie was created.
• The last few frames are not played.
As the BZNP-D1 software manipulates the materials in
units of seconds, the very last frames of a video clip or
Flash movie will not be played if there is a fraction in the
Content tab selection buttons
