TUTORIAL

The TUTORIAL section of this manual is a tour that will result in the creation of a set and a
schedule that is playing. Feel free to substitute any tutorial sample files real files as desired.
Open the MediaZone Editor and take a look at the ZONES LAYERS section at the bottom of the
interface.
Notice there are five columns in the set list. Each column represents an independent layer of
graphics and images. The first column, labeled BACKGROUND is always the background
layer—its order can't be changed but it is not required to be used at all times (in fact, no Zone is
required to be used). BACKGROUND is typically used for full-screen motion background files,
background stills, background live video, or any other background image. The BACKGROUND
zone is always full screen size and does not feature any transitions, keying, PiP windows, or
transparencies.
Columns listed as Zone 1, 2, 3, and 4 can consist of:
Pages: These are images, some call them slides, that consist of proprietary .PAG
files, .bmp, tga, tiff, gif, jpg, pcx, png, live web pages, Macromedia Flash© files,
full screen motion videos (MPEG, WMV, AVI, etc....)
Crawls: This is a continuous text line that will "crawl" or move horizontally
across your screen left to right or right to left
Rolls: These are pages that roll from top to bottom or bottom to top—much in the
manner of credits at the end of a movie or television show.
Logos: Logos are images (bmp, jpg, etc...) that can be resized and repositioned
anywhere on the screen. Logos can also be animated GIF files for a power
motion logo effect.

Zone Attributes

Each layer has a few attributes that must be set. The first is turning the
zone on or off. The check mark in the ON box indicates the layer is on.
Clicking the ON box will toggle the check mark and the layer's on/off
status.
