| Replaceable Background Video/Image | Yes | Yes | Changing the video/image in the background layer with EAS requires Kuusoft Graphic Department’s involvement to make modifications to the design. With SME, users can easily replace the background video/images by themselves without affecting the menu text layer. |
| Editing Text | Yes | Yes |
| Change Images | Yes | Yes | |
| Basic Animation on Editable Text or Images | Yes | Yes | |
| Full Animation on Editable Text or Images | Yes | No | Full text and image animation is not recommended in Menu Board use cases. However, complex animation can be achieved in SME by utilizing the video animation layer. |
| Instant Changes | No | Yes | EAS requires rendering time (10-120 minutes) |
| Native Menu Editor | No | Yes | EAS consists of pre-defined fields in the template. Users will edit the contents in a linear fashion (form-filling style).
