Registering Material Data Prior to Converting a Graphics File (Graphics
Material Preparation)
To use graphics material for playout, prepare the required information, such as titles,
and the graphics files, then send them to the network players. The graphics files should
be converted from bmp format into NSP format before sending, because the network
players only play files in NSP format.
The system enables you to register material data prior to converting graphics file. It is
convenient when you would like to create a playlist before you obtain the bitmap files
used in it.
Note
The system manages graphics files in the Windows bmp format with the "bmp" file
extension, a color depth of 24-bit RGB, 8-bit Index (256 colors), 4-bit Index (16 colors)
or 1-bit Index (2 colors), and a size between 320 pixels (W) x 240 pixels (H) and 720
pixels (W) x 480 pixels (H) for NTSC, or between 320 pixels (W) x 240 pixels (H) and
720 pixels (W) x 576 pixels (H) for PAL. It also supports JPEG format files with the
"jpg" file extension.
See "Files Used for Graphics Material" for details.
Hint
When you already have the bitmap file to be converted, you can simultaneously register
and convert graphics material. (See "Graphics Material Preparation.")
