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.

- When displaying Live Video, Video Stream, or RF In states using a BrightWall, slave screens will now catch up to the master screen if they are powered on after the presentation begins.
- Using the Edit > Import States option to import an Interactive Menu state no longer causes BrightAuthor to crash.
- JPEG images now display correctly when they are used as Selected Image items in an Interactive Menu state.
- BrightAuthor no longer crashes if you attempt to add a Fixed text item after adding an Image item to a Live Text state.
- Adding two Data Feeds that use the same plugin script no longer causes a crash when you attempt to add a third Data Feed.
- BrightAuthor no longer crashes if you add a new scannedchannels.xml file to an RF In state in a non-interactive playlist and attempt to change the Channel Name.
- Edits to an Interactive Menu state are now carried over to the published presentation even if the presentation wasn't originally saved using the File menu.
