What is BrightSign?
A BrightSign player is a standalone digital sign or kiosk controller. Because BrightSign players are non-PC devices with
no moving parts, they are durable and designed specifically for digital signs, making them an ideal solution for information
kiosks, retail displays, museum exhibits, and more.
Benefits
• Everything included: the hardware, the software, and the networking
• Astonishing full HD quality
• Reliable solid-state platforms designed specifically for digital signage
• Support for interactive displays with buttons, touch screens, and more
• Multi-zone screen layouts and synchronization of multiple displays
• Versatile networking options allowing remote control of display presentations
Capabilities
You can use a BrightSign player to do any combination of the following:
• Play content from a Secure Digital card (SD or SDHC card) or USB Flash drive (the HD120, HD220, HD1020,
XD230, XD1030, and XD1230 also support SDXC).
Note: You must format your SD storage using FAT32 for the player to receive network updates and generate logs.
You should only format the storage using NTFS if you need to play media files that are 4GB or larger in size.
• Display content on a high-definition monitor or TV.
• Play looping video, images, and music in HD.
• Divide the display into separate content windows called zones to play back video and images simultaneously.
• Play live HD video, including HDCP-secured content, using an ATSC/ClearQAM tuner (available on the XD1230
only).
