• Select the layer in the Screen Layout window, right-

click it, then select [Full-screen Size], [Quarter-
screen Size] or [Original size].
[Full-screen Size] and [Quarter-screen Size] can be 
used for the Graphics, Video, and Logo layers. 
[Original Size] can be used only for the Video layer, 
and it restricts the layer size to 640 x 480 (or 480 x 
640) pixels.
When you click any point in the Template Settings 
dialog box, the values change accordingly.

• Change the values of the relevant text boxes in the 

Playlist Layout Settings dialog box.
By changing values and clicking any point in the 
Screen Layout window, the position and/or size of 
the layer(s) in the Screen Layout window change 
accordingly.

• For the Graphics, Video, and Logo layers, you can 

set the aspect ratio of the layers identical to that of 
the material file assigned in the playlist, by placing 
check marks in the Original Aspect Ratio check 
boxes.
Note that, however, for layers other than the Video 
layer, the layout changing procedure is required 
during playlist editing to make the aspect ratio of the 
layers identical to those of the material files. 
Otherwise, contents will be shown in the aspect ratio 
of the layers, not of the material files. And, for web 
pages affixed on the Graphics layer, this setting will 
not work, as the BZNP-D1 software cannot obtain 
the size and shape of the original web pages.
For the Video layer, the aspect ratio will be 4:3 (or 
3:4 if the screen orientation set is “Portrait”) 
regardless of the aspect ratio of the original video.

Click [OK].

The Screen Layout window and Template Settings 
dialog box close.

• You cannot change the overlaid order of the layers. 
• The background layer is always displayed in full-screen 

size.

• Note that when you use more than one template in a 

playlist, the BZNP-D1 software only saves the events on 
the layers that are used in the template at the time of 
saving. It is recommended that you keep layers which 
you may use in another template, because the layers will 
affect playout only when a piece of material is specified 
as an event.

• Depending on the display orientation (landscape or 

portrait), and the combination and overlapping of the 
layers used, the NSP-1 may not be able to display the 
contents according to the specified layout. After you 
finish creating a playlist, make sure to check if the 
materials are displayed as intended by previewing the 
playlist on an NSP-1.
