x
piece of material listed on the playlist 
will be an “event.”)
Control commands are sometimes 
included in the “materials” though 
they cannot be listed on the playlists.
Periodic schedule
Definitions of the period when a 
specific daily schedule will be used, 
or the period when no playout will be 
done on the NSP-1.
To play back contents on the NSP-1, 
the periodic schedule and daily 
schedule are as essential as the 
materials and playlists.
Playlist
Listed information that defines the 
order of materials to be played on 
each layer of an NSP-1.
When a piece of material is dropped 
on the playlist, information on the 
start time, duration, position and size 
on the screen is added, and the item 
appears in the cell of the playlist as an 
“event.”
The created playlists will be included 
in the daily schedules, together with 
the information on the time of 
playout.
Preview
To play back materials or playlists 
before distributions or showing them 
to the public, to check the content.
Previewing is normally done by 
sending materials or playlists to the 
NSP-1 player to which the display for 
preview is connected and playing 
these items on it.
Materials except for text can also be 
previewed on a PC using the 
application programs associated with 
them.
Schedule
This word includes “daily schedule” 
and “periodic schedule.” It defines 
the schedule of playout on the NSP-1 
player.
Screen saver
A playlist that will be played on the 
NSP-1 player when nothing is 
scheduled to be played.
The NSP-1 player will play that 
playlist if it is powered on and no 
particular playlist is scheduled for 
playout at that time.
It is recommended that you choose 
lively content, such as a video or 
moving images as a screen saver, to 
prevent image burning into the 
plasma or liquid crystal display.
Template
A set of layout settings that can be 
saved in the BZNP-D1 software. 
This feature is provided to reduce 
time and efforts to specify layout 
settings for every event on the 
playlist. The BZNP-D1 software can 
store up to 20 templates for each 
combination of the screen resolution 
and orientation. To change the 
layout, one of the templates can be 
chosen, then the layout settings of 
that template are automatically 
specified for events thereafter, and 
recorded as such in the playlist. 
You can adjust layout settings for 
each event line later, if you would 
like to change them. 
Title
Text (up to 40 characters) used to 
identify materials, control 
commands, playlists, and daily 
schedules. This title is used together 
with the “type,” and it is not 
necessary that this title be unique.
In the Content Management window, 
you can assign a title to any kind of 
data except for periodic schedules.
Type
Text (up to 20 characters) used with 
the “title” to identify materials, 
control commands, playlists, and 
daily schedules.
In the Content Management window, 
you can assign a type to any kind of 
data except for periodic schedules.
