Material Preparations
The BZNP-D1 software accepts the following materials as 
playout contents:
Materials created with other application software
• Video clips (including announce (SDP) files of MPEG4 
streaming video clips)
• Graphics (still images)
• Flash  files
• Audio files
Register such files in the BZNP-D1 as materials to use 
them.
For details on specifications and limitations on files to be 
used as materials, see the supplied SpecsE.htm file.
Material created with the BZNP-D1 software
• Text (captions)
Create text material by specifying the color, font, text size, 
and entering text with the BZNP-D1 software. You can 
also import text files instead of typing them.
Bitmap files can also be registered as text material instead 
of typing the text itself. This feature is useful when you 
would like to use a caption with special effects.
Other materials
• Web  pages
• Control commands
Register the URL of each web page you want to display 
using the NSP-1.
For control commands, the BZNP-D1 software provides 
some control commands for the NSP-1 and for some of the 
plasma displays, whose operations in combination with the 
NSP-1 have been confirmed. You can also add other 
commands.
Registering Video, Graphics, Flash 
and Audio Files
This section explains how to register material files that 
have been created with other application software in the 
BZNP-D1 software.
The following procedure registers the place where a 
material file (actual file) is stored, together with the title 
and type data of that material.
Never move, delete, or edit the actual file after registration. 
If you do so, the BZNP-D1 software may not be able to 
send the corresponding material to the NSP-1 and this will 
result in playout failure.
And, to register material files recorded on a CD or DVD, 
it is recommended that you copy those files to the hard disk 
of the PC before registering them. Directly registering files 
on a CD or DVD may cause a read error, depending on the 
drive you use, and result in a failure when sending 
materials. 
1
Select [Tools] > [Run Explorer] on the menu bar to 
start the Windows Explorer, if this has not yet been 
done.
2
In the Explorer window, locate the folder where the 
files you want to register are stored.
3
In the BZNP-D1 Content Management window, select 
the tab corresponding to the category of the material to 
be registered.
