6 Chapter 1 Overview Overview Chapter1 This manual describes the operations of the Signage Player Management Software that is supplied with the VSP-BZ10 Digital Signage Player. The VSP-BZ10 player is called a player in this manual. The Signage Player Management Software (herein referred to as the management software ) manages up to ten players. The management software is designed to manage systems that distribute audio, visual, and text (i.e., superimposed text and graphics) content to the players, and then play that content, such as sales promotional videos at stores or commercial videos in public places. The management software supports either landscape or portrait orientation of display devices. Also, it distributes content not only via a network but also using USB flash drives, which enables digital signage even in places where there is no network infrastructure. The main tasks of the management software, such as registering content, and creating playlists and schedules, can be performed by simple drag & drop operations. Read the Operating Instructions of the VSP-BZ10 player and the display device, too, for details on operations of the system. 6

7 Playout Workflow Prepare content (see page 25) Register video, still images, and audio files. The VSP-BZ10 players enable various playout routines in combination with management software or alone. When this management software is used with the VSP-BZ10 players, the following major playout routines are available. Note Installation and setup operations are required before starting operations shown in the flowcharts. See Preparations on page 15 for details. Simple Scheduling Playout Computer with the management software Playlist VSP-BZ10 player Create a playlist (see page 34) Add content to a playlist according to the playout order. Save the playlist (see page 36) Attach schedule information to the playlist (see page 37) Specify target player(s). Specify period and day(s) of the week when the playlist is to be used. Specify the time when the playlist is to be used. Use network for distribution Distribute to the player(s) (see page 37) Distribute the playlist to the players. Use USB flash drives for distribution Export to a USB flash drive (see page 38) Export the playlist to a USB flash drive. You can export playlists for more than one players using one USB flash drive. Chapter 1 Overview When you want simply to repeat a single playlist, you can attach schedule information to the playlist, and distribute it. This playout routine is referred to as simple scheduling playout. It enables simple playout with fewer steps to perform than schedule playout, which is described in the next section. The following flowchart shows the simple scheduling playout operation. Copy to a player (Refer to the Operating Instructions of the player) Plug the USB flash drive into the USB port of the player. Content, playlists, and settings are copied automatically. Playout Workflow 7

Copy to a player (Refer to the Operating Instructions of the player) Plug the USB flash drive into a USB port of the player. Content, playlists, schedules, and settings are copied automatically. 8 Playout Workflow

9 Features Players support an auto-resume function for downloading. If a connection fails during distribution, each player resumes downloading from that point where it was interrupted. Functions of the Management Software The management software provides the following functions: Making settings required for content distribution Registering the players Player Settings Registering content to be played on a player Registering content, such as video, still images, and audio files, that have been created using other application software Creating text content Creating playlists and playout schedules for players Creating playlists Specifying combinations of the content to be played and their playout order. Creating a schedule Listing playlists and text content, and specifying when they should be played. Commands for controlling the player that are provided by the management software, can be listed on a schedule, too. Distribution to a player Distribution of schedules When using a network for the distribution of schedules, the player automatically downloads the necessary data from the computer. When using a USB flash drive for distribution, export the necessary data to the USB flash drive, and copy that data to the player after connecting the USB flash drive to the target player. Interrupt playout (only for players connected to a network) Playout currently being performed on the players will be interrupted by newly distributed content shown over the ongoing playout. RSS distribution (only for players connected to a network) Register RSS feeds for distribution. Checking distribution status Hints A player never downloads items that have already been stored on it, so that time and bandwidth will not be wasted. System maintenance Configuring the system password of each player Rebooting of each player The following functions are enabled only on players connected to a network. Checking the status of each player Checking files stored in the storage of each player, and deleting ones that are no longer necessary Interrupt playout RSS distribution Content Formats that the Management Software Handles The management software handles the following content formats: Type Video 1) Still image Text 2) Audio Format MPEG2 PS Profile/Level: MP@ML Audio: MPEG1 Audio Layer 2 (MP2) MPEG2 TS Profile/Level: MP@HL Audio: MPEG1 Audio Layer 2 (MP2) H.264/AVC Profile/Level: BP@L3, MP@L4, HP@L4 Audio: AAC JPEG PNG BMP Captions that you create with the management software by specifying the characters, color, font, and other attributes.

When using a display that is oriented in the portrait position, register any portrait-oriented content on its side. You can then rotate this content and change its orientation for previewing when editing the playlist. The management software displays the name of the original file as the name of a content item, therefore two or more content items may exist with identical name.

If you specify any other size, the file cannot be converted.

However, conversion will not be possible if you disable the computer s audio. When you convert a Flash file for which playback starts automatically and cannot be paused or resumed, the playout duration after conversion will differ from that of the original file.
