Glossary
Appendix
piece of material listed on the playlist
will be an “event.”)
Control commands are sometimes
included in the “materials” though
they cannot be listed on the playlists.
Periodic schedule
Definitions of the period when a
specific daily schedule will be used,
or the period when no playout will be
done on the NSP-1.
To play back contents on the NSP-1,
the periodic schedule and daily
schedule are as essential as the
materials and playlists.
Playlist
Listed information that defines the
order of materials to be played on
each layer of an NSP-1.
When a piece of material is dropped
on the playlist, information on the
start time, duration, position and size
on the screen is added, and the item
appears in the cell of the playlist as an
“event.”
The created playlists will be included
in the daily schedules, together with
the information on the time of
playout.
Preview
To play back materials or playlists
before distributions or showing them
to the public, to check the content.
Previewing is normally done by
sending materials or playlists to the
NSP-1 player to which the display for
preview is connected and playing
these items on it.
Materials except for text can also be
previewed on a PC using the
application programs associated with
them.
Schedule
This word includes “daily schedule”
and “periodic schedule.” It defines
the schedule of playout on the NSP-1
player.
Screen saver
A playlist that will be played on the
NSP-1 player when nothing is
scheduled to be played.
The NSP-1 player will play that
playlist if it is powered on and no
particular playlist is scheduled for
playout at that time.
It is recommended that you choose
lively content, such as a video or
moving images as a screen saver, to
prevent image burning into the
plasma or liquid crystal display.
Template
A set of layout settings that can be
saved in the BZNP-D1 software.
This feature is provided to reduce
time and efforts to specify layout
settings for every event on the
playlist. The BZNP-D1 software can
store up to 20 templates for each
combination of the screen resolution
and orientation. To change the
layout, one of the templates can be
chosen, then the layout settings of
that template are automatically
specified for events thereafter, and
recorded as such in the playlist.
You can adjust layout settings for
each event line later, if you would
like to change them.
Title
Text (up to 40 characters) used to
identify materials, control
commands, playlists, and daily
schedules. This title is used together
with the “type,” and it is not
necessary that this title be unique.
In the Content Management window,
you can assign a title to any kind of
data except for periodic schedules.
Type
Text (up to 20 characters) used with
the “title” to identify materials,
control commands, playlists, and
daily schedules.
In the Content Management window,
you can assign a type to any kind of
data except for periodic schedules.
