Chapter 4 Routine Operations
The duration of the added event varies depending on
the material dropped.
In the case of video, Flash, audio material or scrolled
text, that has its own duration, the event duration will
be identical to the material duration.
In the case of one of the other types of materials, the
duration will be the value defined in the software.

Modify the event duration, if necessary.
Right-click the event, and select [Change Duration] on
the popup menu.
The Change Duration dialog box appears. The current
event duration is shown in it.
5
Modify the duration as desired, then click [OK].
As the duration of the shortest event on the playlists is five
seconds, the BZNP-D1 software sets the duration of the
event for a piece of material whose duration is less than
that, and it does not allow you to reduce the duration.
If you drop a one-second audio file, for example, the
duration of the event made from it will be five seconds.
And on the NSP-1, the audio file will be played during the
first one second, then there will be no audio in the
remaining four seconds.
Note this when you handle materials shorter than five
seconds, as other types of materials will be played in the
same manner.
When a material tab is selected in the Content
Management window, the background of the layer name
changes to yellow showing that the data on the tab can be
dropped on that layer.
And, note that material is added to or inserted in the
playlist, depending on the position where the material is
dropped, as shown in the following table.
Inserting an event at the beginning or middle of a playlist
does not affect the event start times on the other layers.
Check the start times of the inserted event and the events
on the other layers, and adjust them, if required.
See “Modifying the start time of an event” on page 41 for
details.
To use a video/audio input to the NSP-1 VIDEO IN/
AUDIO IN connectors as a video event
The video layer accommodates the video/audio input to the
NSP-1 VIDEO IN and AUDIO IN connectors upon
playout, as well as the video material registered in the
BZNP-D1 software.
This feature enables you to include live video or TV
programs in the playlists.
When a Flash movie and/or audio events are specified on
the same line as this external video/audio event, the audio
input to the AUDIO IN connector will not be output.

Playlist window, then select [External Input] on the

kinds of events.
