Create content for BrightSign digital signage players. Develop a custom presentation from scratch or use a collection of presets for various elements. Import media content. Work in full-screen or multi-zone mode. Check the finished editing and send the files to a selected player via Ethernet.
BrightAuthor is a program for creating, previewing, publishing, and managing BrightSign presentations. These presentations can be sent to BrightSign digital signage players though Ethernet, so that they can be played on your projector or big screen. This program lets you design full-screen or multi-zone layouts using templates. You can then add video files, live video feed, HTML5 content, Twitter & Flicker, and other sources. You can also set looping playlists and schedule multiple presentations at specific times on any number of BrightSign devices.
v3.7 [Aug 7, 2013]
Features;
- Alphabetize variable names option. This allows you to determine whether User Variables will be organized alphabetically or by order of creation when displayed on the BrightSign App and the Local Web Server.
Bug Fixes:
- If there are 100MB or less of free space on the SD card, the player will now successfully delete old MRSS and Dynamic Playlist content to prevent space from running out on the card.
- Dragging and dropping a file to a Background Image zone no longer causes a presentation to crash while it is playing.
- Changing the script plugin of a presentation that is uploaded to the BrightSign Network and then re-uploading that presentation will no longer cause the player to stop.
- You can now assign the same Parser Function Name to multiple Data Feed parsers.
- A player with a disabled Local Web Server will no longer crash if you publish to it a presentation that contains a Custom Device Webpage.
- The HTML5 Site dropdown list in an HTML5 state now stays up to date with added/removed pages after the presentation is exported.
Improvements
- Players that are connected to the BrightSign Network can now detect and report disk I/O errors. This is only available on players running firmware versions 4.7.96 or later.
- It is now possible to use a script plugin to delete User Variables (this action is currently not available through the user interface).
