Urgent Playout
Besides the normal playout function for which you have to send the necessary playlist
and materials to the network players beforehand, there is "urgent playout" function. It
sends selected piece(s) of material (and a playlist) and makes the network players play it
as soon as possible. Any pre-prepared material (and playlist) can be used.
You can also use materials or playlists that are already stored on the network player for
urgent playout.
Note
The urgent playout function interrupts playout currently being carried out on a network
player. Also, scheduled playout will not start during urgent playout. Check the
network player status in the NSP-100 Status window before starting urgent playout, and
click the stop button at the end.
Hint
• You can check the network player status. See "Checking the Network Player
Status" for details.
• For text material, you can enter text and use it for urgent playout, as well as using
previously registered text material. See the following "Creating Text Material for
Urgent Playout" for details.
• You can use this function for preview of materials and playlists on a network player,
provided you have a monitor connected to the network player near you.
1 Click [Material Management] on the main menu to open the Material Management window.
2 Select the PC File Management or NSP-100 Remote File Management option button,
depending on the location where the material or playlist used for urgent playout is stored.
3 Select the tab of the material or playlist to be used for urgent playout.
4 Select the destination network player group on the Destination drop-down list box when the
PC File Management option button is selected.
Select the network player to be subject to urgent playout from the NSP-100 drop-down list
box, then click [Update].
5 Click the desired material or playlist, then click the play button in the Urgent section.
When material or a playlist stored on the PC is selected, the system sends the selected
material (or playlist and the necessary materials) to the network players of the selected
group. Each network player starts playout as soon as it receives the entire piece of
material/playlist.
When the material or a playlist is stored on the network player, urgent playout starts
immediately on the selected network player.
Stopping Urgent Playout
Click the stop button in the Urgent section in the Material Management window.
Playout of the playlist that was interrupted by the urgent playout does not automatically
start if it has been sent from the Presentation Application.
If it has been sent from the Scheduling Application, playout may restart. The network
player restarts normal playout according to the current time and the start times assigned
to each event.
