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, and HD1020
also support SDXC).
Note: Your SD, SDHC, or SDXC card must be formatted using FAT32 for it to work with a BrightSign player.
•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 playback video and images simultaneously

3
•Play live video using a USB video dongle accessory. Currently, only the HD1010w supports the Live Video module.

Setting up BrightSign Players
Before you can create and publish presentations, you must first set up the BrightSign players. To set up a player, you
need to create setup files in BrightAuthor and add those files to a storage device (SD card or USB flash drive). Afterward,
insert the storage (usually an SD card) into the BrightSign player. Remember that if you are using an SD card, it must be
FAT32 formatted.
You can set up your BrightSign players for Standalone use, add them to a Local Network, add them to the BrightSign
Network, or set them up for Simple File Networking. Adding units to a network allows you to remotely manage and update
your BrightSign players and presentations. Alternatively, standalone use requires inserting an updated storage device into
the BrightSign player each time you want to update content.
To set up your BrightSign player, complete the following steps:
1. On the menu bar, click Tools > Setup BrightSign unit.
2. Under Name Specification, enter a name and description for the unit.
3. Under Network Properties, set the Time Zone, Time Server, IP Address, and indicate whether the network is wired
or wireless. Enter the SSID and Security Key if the network is secured.
4. Under Firmware, indicate whether you want to update the firmware and to which version.
Note: BrightAuthor requires a minimum firmware version to correctly publish presentations to a BrightSign player. The
following are the minimum firmware versions you need for certain units:
•HD110, HD210, HD210W, HD410, HD1010, HD1010W, TD1012: Requires firmware version 3.8.24 or later
•HD120, HD220, HD1020: Requires firmware version 4.0.13 or later
5. Under Unit Configuration, select how you want to set up the unit and then complete the following corresponding
steps:
•Standalone: Under Unit Configuration, enabling the diagnostic web server and local web server is optional.
