specified in the playlist.
Note
• The network player does not support a summer time management function. Be
careful to specify the start time if your country uses a summer time system.
• In the case of NTSC video, the system regards one second as 30 frames of video
signal although it is approximately 29.97 frames (non-drop frame mode). Hence the
actual length is longer than the duration indicated for such a piece of video material.
This error is approximately two frames for one minute and 108 frames (3.3 seconds)
for one hour. The system adjusts this error to indicate the start times of the events
on the playlist, but there still is a small amount of error (less than one second)
between the indication and the actual start time.

• The playlist that was sent later has the higher priority.
For example, if the playlist (P0000001) whose playout time is 7/1/2002 10:00:00 -
20:00:00 was sent before the playlist (P0000002) whose playout time is 7/1/2002
12:00:00 - 13:00:00, the system would stop playout of P0000001 around 11:59:50,
play P0000002 between 12:00:00 and 13:00:00, prepare to resume playout of
P0000001, then resume the rest of P0000001.
If P0000002 is sent before P0000001, however, P0000002 would not be played out.
