Device Control Command Preparation
The system provides external device control functions for use upon playout from the
network players, such as turning on and off or switching the input lines of a plasma
display panel, or sending GPI (General Purpose Interface) pulses to devices connected
to the RS-232C connector of a network player.
To control an external device, create a device control command and send it to the
network players. This device control command is included in the events of a playlist to
control the external device during playout.
The BZNP-100 also enables you to create commands to control the NSP-100 network
players, and use them in the urgent playout procedure to control the network players.
(You cannot insert those files into the playlists, though.)
