As will be discussed later, the screen may be split into maximum four regions where one of the regions
may hold playlists including video files as well as images and web pages. The remaining three regions
may just hold images and web pages. Therefore it is essential to consider in what kind of regions the
playlist is intended to be used before it is created. In this case we intend to use region “0” which is the
region allowing for video files.
Finally click “Save” to create the playlist. The new playlist now appears in the Playlist Bank.
*) The reason for having special playlists for “Movies and Images” is because we can split the screen in
two, three or four separate regions. However, only one region can support hardware video decoding
(since there is only one video decoding chip in the media player). The remaining three regions may be
used to present images or web pages. This means that there is a need to keep track of which playlists are
used for the different regions. That’s why we define separate playlists as they are created.
