Material Preparations
Chapter 4 Routine Operations
To just modify the type and/or title, select the piece of
material, then click its Type or Title column. This makes
the column editable. Specify the type (up to 20 characters)
or title (up to 40 characters), and then press the Enter key.
The scroll speed corresponding to each option in the Text
Properties dialog box has been changed in the BZNP-D1
version 2.0 software.
Note that, if you edit any piece of scrolling text material
created using version 1.0, the speed will be changed to
“Slow” (equals “Medium” in version 1.0) automatically.
Select the desired speed using the Scroll Speed drop-down
list box in the Text Properties dialog box, if necessary.
To check text material
You can send a piece of text material to an NSP-1 and play
it on the NSP-1.
For information on how to play material on an NSP-1, see
“Checking Playout (Previewing on an NSP-1)” on page
53.
To delete text material
Right-click the piece of text material to be deleted in the
Content Management window, then select [Delete] on the
popup menu.
Or, select the piece of text material to be deleted, then
press the Delete key.
When a confirmation message appears, click [Yes].
Registering a bitmap file as text material
Instead of typing text, the following procedure registers a
bitmap file to the BZNP-D1 software as a piece of text
material. This feature is useful when you would like to use
a caption with special effects.
There are some limitations that are different from those for
the bitmap files used as graphics material, for bitmaps files
used as text material.
Note that, if the NSP-1 transparent color is used in the
bitmap file, the area of that color will be transparent,
regardless of the Transparency option of the Text
Properties dialog box.
For details on specifications and limitations on files to be
used as text material, see the supplied SpecsE.htm file.
