Live Video Module and New Authoring Software Make BrightSign Better

  • SARATOGA , CA--BrightSign is using the world’s largest professional AV congress, InfoComm, to preview two substantial enhancements to its BrightSign range of digital media players. BrightSign’s InfoComm booth #2072 will demonstrate a new live video support module along with BrightAuthor - a new desktop application to easily create playlists. Both additions work with BrightSign's range of low cost, high definition, solid state, digital signage players.
  • The new Live Video Module enables live video to be played back on BrightSign and mixed with recorded BrightSign content including video, still images and animations. The live video playback can also be mixed with other content sources including Internet delivered content and SD flash card content. Live video can be displayed in full screen or within a zone display while other content sources play around it. Brightness, contrast, saturation and hue of the input video are all adjustable.

This small 4.5 x 3.2 x 1.2in (115 x 80 x 30mm) module offers S-Video and Composite video inputs with support for NTSC, PAL and SECAM, as well as left and right audio channel RCA jacks. Requiring no external power source, the adaptor is connected and powered by a USB connection to BrightSign HD810 and HD1010 models.
