Playing Media with BrightSign
Ways to play media
There are several ways to play media files on a BrightSign device:
• Play media automatically from an SD card when you turn on a BrightSign
• Play media via a script on an SD card
• Use the serial shell commands to test media playback
NOTE: BrightSign HD110, HD210, HD410, HD810, and HD1010 output video through the VGA and
HDMI connectors. These models communicate with the display attached to BrightSign and
BrightSign automatically determines and sets the best video resolution. If BrightSign is unable to
get video information from the display, the default video resolution is 1024x768x75p. BrightSign
HD2000 outputs video through the Component and HDMI connectors and the default video
resolution is 720p. If the resolution of a still image file does not exactly match the display
resolution (videomode), then BrightSign scales the image to fit or it centers/crops the image,
depending on the imagemode you selected
