Modifying the start time on the playlist
When you select the event cell whose start time you want
to modify on the playlist, a handle appears on the top line
of the cell. The mouse pointer will appear as a two-way
arrow on the handle.
Selecting that handle and dragging the mouse expands the

Modifying the duration or the end time of
an event

The following procedure allows you to adjust the duration
of an event.
of an event.
You can specify the event duration even for video or Flash
events whose materials have “duration” data.
As the BZNP-D1 software manipulates the materials in
units of seconds, the very last frames of a video or Flash
event will not be played if there is a fraction in the actual
playout length of the video or Flash movie file. By
expanding the event duration in such a case, the video or
Flash movie file will be fully played. Note that, however,
a frozen picture may be displayed as described in the
following notes.

Modifying the end time on the playlist
When you select the event cell whose end time you want
to modify on the playlist, a handle appears on the bottom
line of the cell. The mouse pointer will appear as a two-
way arrow on the handle.
Selecting that handle and dragging the mouse expands the
cell and hence modifies the end time of the event.
This method is useful when you want to specify an end
time that is identical to an event on another layer.

• When modifying the end time, the specified end time is
not included in the event duration.
If you specify “15:00:00” as the end time, for example,
playout of that event will end immediately before
15:00:00.
The event specified on the next line on the playlist, if
any, will be started at 15:00:00.
