Creating A Multiple Zone Presentation - BrightSign HD120 Quick Start Manual

Creating a Multiple Zone Presentation

Using zones, you can divide your signage screen into windows and play different types of content simultaneously in each
window, which can include video, audio, images, ticker feeds (RSS or text), or date and time. You can also control
transitions between media files, background color, background image, font, text color, text alignment, and text orientation.
Below are a few examples of BrightSign zone templates:
