actual playout length.
You can modify the duration of the piece of video or
Flash material, in such a case, to play it entirely. But a
frozen picture of the last frame may be displayed at the
very end.
You can also leave the material duration as “00:00:00,”
and add the piece of material to a playlist. In such a case,
the shortest event duration “00:00:05” is specified for the
event. You can modify the event duration as desired.
When no DirectShow filter is installed, the BZNP-D1
software cannot recognize the video signal format (NTSC
or PAL) and display size of the video files. Also, the video
signal format of MPEG4 files cannot be recognized even if
a DirectShow filter is installed.
If the video signal format of the video clip and that of the
system setup are not identical, the video clip will not be
played correctly.
To check the material content
The BZNP-D1 software provides two ways to check the
material content; playing a piece of material on the PC, and
sending it to an NSP-1 and playing it on the NSP-1.
For detailed information on how to play material on a PC,
see “Checking Material on a PC (Previewing)” on page
34.
For information on how to play material on an NSP-1, see
“Checking Playout (Previewing on an NSP-1)” on page
53.
To delete material
Right-click the piece of material to be deleted in the
Content Management window, then select [Delete] on the
popup menu.
Or, select the piece of material to be deleted, then press the
Delete key on the keyboard.
When a confirmation message appears, click [Yes].
This deletion operation for video, graphics, Flash, and
audio materials only deletes material registrations. The
actual files are not deleted.
To delete the actual files, too, use the Windows Explorer.
Creating Text Material
Specify the text, colors, font, size, and effects to be
displayed to create text material.
The BZNP-D1 software enables you to register a bitmap
file instead of text as a piece of text material.
See “Registering a bitmap file as text material” on page 30
for details.
