Learn to use LineupNX in minutes
With LineupNX you can be up and running in a few minutes. The step-by-step tutorials we provide cover all the main concepts and LineupNX ships with sample rundowns and templates that you can use right out of the box.
We also understand that no two production units are the same. After you have mastered the basics, you can easily customize LineupNX to accommodate your way of working. If there is a feature you need that LineupNX does not yet have, let us know and we will see if we can incorporate it for you.

Computer and network requirements
LineupNX runs on Windows-based systems. It has been tested on Windows versions from Win98 to WinXP.
