999000 and greater index numbers for each piece of 
content are reserved for system use. You cannot enter 
999000 or greater number in the text boxes.

Select the video system (NTSC or PAL) of the video 
material that you want to use. Usually you will select the 
video system used in the television system of your country.
Only video material corresponding to the selected video 
system is displayed on the Video tab of the Content 
Management window. 

Specify the folder where you want to save the materials, 
playlists, and schedules. They are saved in sub folders 
created in the specified base folder according to their data 
types.
Usually, you need not change the setting. When more than 
one computer installed with the BZNP-D1 software uses 
materials in a network shared folder, enter the absolute 
path, or the relative path from the folder where the BZNP-
D1 software is installed. Or click [Browse] and then select 
the desired folder from the folder tree.
When different operators use different computers to create 
and register materials, edit playlist and schedules, and send 
data respectively, you can make operations much easier by 
specifying the appropriate base folder. Any change in data 
performed by other operators working with a different 
computer, however, will only be checked when the BZNP-
D1 software is started. 

• Video, graphics, Flash, and audio materials created 

using other application programs are not saved under the 
base folder. When they are registered in the BZNP-D1 
software, information describing the original file 
locations is saved together with their material data such 
as data type and titles. 

• If you change the base folder after you create materials, 

playlists, or schedules, you will no longer be able to use 
those materials, playlists, or schedules.

• When more than one computer installed with the BZNP-

D1 software uses materials in a shared folder, if multiple 
operators create or edit the material, playlist, or schedule 
with an the identical index, the newest one will overwrite 
the older ones. To avoid overwriting, specify a different 
BZNP-D1 ID on each computer.

Specify the time period (24-hour system) when you want 
to prohibit communication with the NSP-1 players. 
Usually the same period as the NSP-1 sleep time is 
specified, but you can set the hours in the daytime so that 
the data will not be sent in the daytime while network 
traffic is heavy. However, note that it is not possible to 
check and delete contents stored on the NSP-1 players, or 
preview content on the NSP-1 player during this time.

If you attempt to send playout schedule data within the 
time period specified here, operation of the BZNP-D1 
software will be suspended. After the time period has 
passed, the BZNP-D1 software automatically sends the 
data to NSP-1 players, as you requested.
For example, where you are allowed to send data only 
during the night, and 10:00 - 22:00 is specified here, the 
BZNP-D1 software waits until 22:00 if you send data at 
17:00. As it automatically sends data after 22:00, you are 
not required to stay at the office.
However, the BZNP-D1 software only accepts limited 
operations while it is suspended. You cannot send data for 
more than one group in the time period specified here.
