Checking Materials (Preview) 
 
The following procedures enable you to check the contents of the material. 
In the case of a piece of video or graphics material, the picture appears in the Preview 
window.  The Preview window for the video material has video control buttons and a 
slider used to check the desired part of the video.   
In the case of a piece of character text material, the Edit Text dialog box appears. 
Note 
•  The system sometimes divides a piece of video material into several files upon 
conversion for file transfer efficiency.  In such a case, you can only preview the top 
(first file) of the video material. 
•  Previewing video material requires a playback function for MPEG2 files that is not 
included in the BZNP-100 software package.  Purchase a utility software application 
for MPEG2 playback and install it to preview MPEG2 files.  We are unable to 
provide one for free because of issues related to the license agreement. 
AVI files, however, can be played back using DirectShow. 
Note that it is not possible to play VSR-2000/2000A files (pre-conversion) on the 
PC. 
When Converting Video or Graphics Files into NSP Format 
On the video or graphics file list (upper list) in the Convert Material window, right-click 
the desired file, then click [Preview on PC] on the menu. 
In the Material Management Window 
Right-click the desired piece of material, then click [Preview on PC] (or [Edit] for 
character text material) on the menu. 
When Editing Playlists 
For video, graphics or text material list in the Edit Playlist window, right-click the 
desired piece of material, then click [Preview on PC] (or [Display/Edit] in the case of 
character text material). 
Hint 
You can use urgent playout function for preview of materials and playlists on a network 
player, provided you have a monitor connected to the network player near you.
