No unnecessary external conversions.

Layer multiple on-screen events.
Imagine being able to layer multiple on-screen events, such as animations, Flash™, MPEG 1, 2 and 4, AVI, VOB, graphics, crawls, logos and scrolls just by dragging the media files into one of four media zones and pressing the Preview button. Simply download the playlist via your network to the media server. Update content or schedules with our MediaZone editor anytime while on-air.
