Compatibility


Microsoft recommends “Compatible with Windows 7” applications because they have passed Microsoft-designed tests to help ensure they install readily every time and minimize the number of crashes, hangs, and restarts you experience. This all helps ensure a compatible and reliable experience with any edition of Windows 7 including 64 bit. MediaZone Editor Pro is compatible with Windows 7. This means:

  1. Is tested for compatibility and reliability on Windows 7
  2. Passed Microsoft designed tests to minimize the possibility of crashes, hangs, and reboots.
  3. Represents a commitment that the product will continue to work over the life of Windows 7.
  4. Meets privacy standards set forth by the Anti-Spyware Coalition.
  5. Installs cleanly and reliably.
  6. Eliminates unnecessary reboots.
  7. Ensures compatibility with Windows 7, both 32-bit and 64-bit editions.

MediaZone Pro is two-part software. MediaZone Editor Pro  is open license and works on any Windows 7-based computer that meets the minimum system requirements. It is also backward compatible with Windows XP and Vista. It is the content management software for all digital signage composing and scheduling. It has a built-in communication program that transfers media playlists directly to the MediaZone player(s) via FTP on a network.

The second part of the software is called MediaZone Player Pro. It is licensed per seat (CPU) and works on a dedicated “player” PC that meets the minimum requirements. Please note that at this time MediaZone Player works best with Windows Embedded, but Windows 7 is acceptable for most applications. If you purchase our recommended player hardware, we install Windows® Embedded in the player. It is a specialized version of Windows 7, but the player will run just fine on standard Windows 7 yet may present certain HD video playback issues with minimum hardware specifications.

MediaZone Pro Editor and Player software are compatible with most high-performance PC/CPU platforms. Contact us for recommendations on your specific application, or check out our quality player hardware selection.
