Checking Playout (Previewing on an NSP-1)
Chapter 4 Routine Operations
Checking Playout
(Previewing on an NSP-1)
The BZNP-D1 software enables you to check how the
created materials and/or playlists would be played on an
NSP-1. This is referred to as “previewing.”
You can also preview the materials on the PC. But it may
not be exactly the same as the playout on the NSP-1. And
the effects for the playlist cannot be previewed on the PC.
It is recommended that you preview the playlists using the
following procedures before you show them to the public.
The methods used for checking text material and control
commands are not exactly same as those for other
materials and playlists.
See “Checking a Piece of Text Material” on page 54 and
“Checking a Control Command” on page 54 for details.
Before Sending Materials and
Playlists to the NSP-1 Players
This procedure sends the playlist and/or materials to the
NSP-1, then plays them there.
This procedure sends the playlists and materials to all of
the NSP-1 players in the selected group and plays them
there.
If other content is being played on the NSP-1 players, it
will be terminated.
To preview materials or playlists only on a specific NSP-
1, send the materials and playlists to be previewed, then
follow the procedure “When Materials and Playlists are
Already on the NSP-1 Players” described in the next.

Check that the BZNP-D1 (PC) option button is
selected, and select the group to which you are sending
materials and playlists for preview using the Group
drop-down list box.

In the Content Management window, select the tab
corresponding to the material or playlist to be
previewed.
To preview a playlist, for example, select the Playlist

The BZNP-D1 software sends the selected piece of
material (or the selected playlist and the required
materials, when a playlist was selected) to all the NSP-
1 players in the selected group.
On the NSP-1, playout will start automatically when
preparation for playout is completed. Check the
playout using the connected display.

Right-click any point in the Content Management
window, then select [Stop Previewing] on the popup

mode when previewing a piece of material, even after
playout of the material finishes, until you select [Stop
Previewing].
When Materials and Playlists are
Already on the NSP-1 Players
When the materials and/or playlists to be previewed have
already been sent to the NSP-1 players, you can select a
specific NSP-1 player for preview.

playlists, see “Sending Data to NSP-1 Players” on page
