OVERVIEW
The BrightSign XD230, XD1030, and XD1230 players can be used to decode images, audio, and up to two HD video
streams for digital sign and kiosk applications. In addition to driving video and audio displays, these players can be
controlled with various networked and built-in interfaces.
This reference manual specifies the hardware interfaces on the BrightSign XD230, XD1030, and XD1230. This manual
does not describe any software functions.

•4-pin power connector for 12V power input @ 3A
Power Connector
The power connector for the XD series is rated for 12V @ 3A. The plug for the connector is a keyed and locking 4-pin
connector. It is right-side positive.
DE9 RS-232 Connector
The RS-232 connector is a male DE9. Like PCs, BrightSign XD players are DTE devices. The input to the chip accepts a
range between +25V and -25V, so it is compatible with standard +12V and -12V signaling.
The baud rate is 115200, with no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. There is no hardware or software flow control. The
maximum cable length is 50 meters, and the total cable capacitance is 2500pF.
Note: A lower capacitance cable allows you to use cable lengths beyond 50 meters.
The following diagram illustrates the behavior of the TX and RX signal:
The following table illustrates the pinout of the DE9 on the XD series of players:

DA15 Switch/LED Connector
The switch/led connector is a DA15 female. This connector is used to allow the player to control external LEDs or other
devices requiring 24mA of current or less.
Connect the LED outputs to the LED ANODE and connect the LED CATHODE to the ground. If you want to connect
another device, then the output is capable of sourcing or sinking up to 3.3V at 24mA, but there is a series resistor of 100Ω
in each line.
The connector also allows the connecting of external contact closures to the ground. In order to connect a switch, connect
one side of the switch to the switch input, and connect the other side to one of the ground pins on the DA15 connector.
The connector can also supply 3.3V at up to 500mA to an external device. The 3.3V output is polyfuse-protected and can
source up to 500mA.
If one BrightSign player is driving the inputs on another BrightSign player, then you can drive at most three inputs from
one output. The following calculations explain this limitation:
Note: The GPIO outputs have 100
Ω
series resistors; the GPIO inputs have 1K pullup resistors to 3.3V; and the input
threshold on the 541 chips is 2V high and .8V low. The high voltage is not problematic, but the low voltage can be if there
are too many inputs connected to one output.
