2.3 Using Zones

Your Layout is made up of a number of defined rectangular areas known as Zones. Each Zone can display Media items

. You can decide on the number of Zones in your Layout, their sizes, and where they are placed. It is often convenient

to use different Zones for different media types, with one for scrolling text, one for a promotional video, and so on. However,

any Zone can display any media type as long as the appropriate media player has been enabled for that Zone.

Each Zone can display a sequence of media items that you have chosen and arranged into a Playlist .
