What is a Playlist?
A "playlist" is a list in which the materials are arranged in order of playout. The BZNP-
100 sends a playlist together with the necessary materials to the network players, then
each network player plays the materials out according to this list. Each piece of
material listed on the playlist is referred to as an "event."
In the Edit Playlist window, events are listed separately depending on the material type.
Upon playout, the text event is superimposed onto the graphics event on the same line,
then the video event on the same line is overlaid as shown below. When there are only
video and text events on a single line, however, the text event is overlaid on full screen
video.
The video and graphics event can be played either by itself or stacked in layers, but the
text event cannot be played by itself.
Operation with More than One Playlist
If there is more than one playlist for the same period on the same day, the playlist that
was sent later has the higher priority. The Scheduling Application ignores the other(s).
When playout has already started, however, the playlist currently being used for playout
would not be replaced with the new one.
The following rules are applied when there is more than one playlist (A and B) for a
certain period:
Playout of a playlist (A) will stop 10 seconds before the start time of another playlist
(B) that was sent later than (A).
The playlist loading screen specified by the network player (default: solid black) is
displayed for about 10 seconds, then playout of playlist (B) starts.
