Creating a multi-zone presentation
In a multi-zone presentation, BrightAuthor divides the screen into rectangles called zones. You can play different content
in each zone and each zone supports a specific type of content. BrightAuthor provides a handful of multi-zone templates.
You can choose one of the existing templates, or create your own (see Customizing presentations).
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. You can include only one Video or Images zone.
• Video Only : Plays videos. You can include only one Video Only zone.
