Apparatus and methods implementing a technique for creating an electronic artwork with a hot area. The present invention achieves lock quickly and maintains an optimum input buffer configuration and enhanced signal fidelity by responding quickly and accurately to changes in the incoming frequency. Due to this, an NAV is set at the legacy terminal and packets are no longer transmitted from the legacy terminal. A portion of the pin is secured in the forming and heading die, having a portion of the straight pin disposed in a gap defined by a space between the heading die and the forming die. The ticket is redeemable for the selected media files and the media files are formatted so that they can only be rendered on the particular playback device.
