Multi-zone means splitting a display into different zones for displaying different channels of information, similar to newspaper column layouts for different topics or stories.

Each IAdea media player can play only one video at a given time. For high definition video (HMP & XMP) models, the screen can be split up to 4 different zones for one video zone plus 3 text scroll or photo zones in any combination. Standard definition video models (CMP & NMP) do not support multizone.
