A rich feature set

For a full list of features in LineupNX 2, please see our feature table. Here we also compare LineupNX 2 with previous versions of the program.

Leverage your existing software

LineupNX 2 automatically inspects your system to determine if you already have software that compliments what it can do. For example scripts for packages and documentaries that are not intended for the teleprompter can be written using a standard word processor like MS Word, WordPerfect or Open Office Writer. LineupNX will associate the script with a slug in the rundown. Similarly, you can have a complete spreadsheet (Excel, QuattroPro, Open Office Calc) associated with each rundown item. It can be used to store contact details, shot logs, expense information, and more.

Compatibility

LineupNX 2 is backward compatible with all previous versions of LineupNX. Templates, rundowns and teleprompter scripts from LineupNX 1.x will open in LineupNX 2. However they will be saved in the new LineupNX 2 file formats for future use.
