Features  
The NSP-1 Network Player plays back (decodes) video/  
audio data in MPEG format, outputting an analog signal. It  
is the ideal digital content player for advertising,  
presentations, training, and other situations.  
The following are the principal features of this system.  
High Image Quality  
Plays MPEG-2 MP@ML encoded movies and full-color  
still images and Web screen, providing an image quality  
comparable to that of a DVD player.  
Superimposed Movies, Stills, and Text  
With a playlist, you can specify movies, stills, and  
superimposed captions to be displayed simultaneously on  
the monitor for specified durations.  
Large Storage Capacity  
The unit incorporates a 40-GB hard disk drive. This holds  
about six hours and 30 minutes of video compressed to a  
1)  
bit rate of 8 Mbps, or about 13 hours of video at 4 Mbps.  
1) Figures for storage times are for storing movies only. Depending on how  
the system is used, the actual movie storage capacity may be less than  
these figures.  
Wide Range of Interfaces Supported  
• Analog video input: Composite video input is available.  
This allows you to overlay moving images sent from a  
VTR or DVD over a still image.  
• Analog audio input: Two input channels (left and right)  
are available. This allows the unit to output mixed audio  
signals input from a VTR or DVD.  
• Analog video output: Composite video output is  
available.  
• Analog audio output: Two output channels (left and  
right) are available.  
• 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX: Network connection is  
possible.  
• GPI: This allows remote control of the monitor and other  
external devices connected to this unit.  
Image Rotation on the monitor screen display  
Since you can rotate the direction of the still image  
displayed, you are not required to create still images for  
vertical display.
