When using a multi-zone template, you need to know which type of content you can include in each zone. The color-
coded key at the bottom of the template screen shows the available content types, and the color-coded templates indicate
which type of content you can include in each zone of the templates. The following list describes the available content
types:
• Images : Plays images. You can include multiple Images zones.
• Ticker : Plays an RSS feed or pre-defined text strings. You can include multiple Ticker zones.
• Clock : Displays the time or date. You can include multiple Clock zones.
• Video or Images : Plays videos and images.
• Video Only : Plays videos.
• Audio Only : Plays audio. You can include multiple Audio Only zones.
• Background Image : Places an image in the background of your presentation. All other zones appear on top of
the background image. When using a background image, you cannot include a Video Only zone or a Video or
Images zone. You can include only one Background Image zone.
Note: BrightSign XD230, XD1030, or XD1230 players can decode two videos at once. Therefore, if you are creating a
presentation for an XD player, you can include two “Video or Images” zones, a “Video or Images zone” and a “Video
Only zone”, or two “Video Only” zones. If you are using an HD player, you can include only one video zone per
presentation. Therefore, you must choose between a Video or Images zone, a Video Only zone, or a Background
Image zone. The HD series cannot display more than one of these zone types in the same presentation.
