Editing Control Files Used on Network Players
A network player uses the following three types of files to control external devices such
as a PDP, or to run a command list.
• PdpCfg.txt: Configuration file used to control PDPs connected to the RS-232C/GPI
connector, using the external device control events, or an urgent playout procedure
of a control command.
• GpiCfg.txt: Configuration file used to control devices connected to the RS-
232C/GPI connector using GPI pulses output from the external device control
events, or to play a different playlist, according to the GPI pulse input to the network
player.
• CmdLst.txt: Command list file that will run on network players. It is used, for
example, to adjust the audio level, based on the time of day.
The BZNP-100 enables you to edit these files and send them to a single specified
network player, or to the network players in a specified group.
Note
An erroneous control file may result in network player problems. You can copy the
original control files back from the "BZNP-100 install folder\Masterfl" folder if there is
any trouble caused by a modified control file.
Refer to the protocol manual of the network player for details on how to edit a control
file. Ask your supplier or Sony sales representative about the protocol manual.
