Playing the demo
The included SD card contains a simple BrightSign demo that you can run on your BrightSign.
Follow these steps to play the demo:
1 Connect a display and speakers to your BrightSign as described earlier in this guide.
2 Insert the included SD card into your BrightSign. (This SD card contains the
demo content.)
3 Turn on the power.
Creating a playlist
A playlist enables you to play one or more files in a loop. This section shows you how to create
a playlist using the sample files provided with your BrightSign.
1 Connect an SD card reader (sold separately) to your computer.
2 Insert the SD card included with your BrightSign into the card reader.
3 Make a backup copy of the SD card to preserve the original contents of the card. As you
complete steps 4 - 11 you will overwrite the contents of the demo on the SD card.
4 Open the Sample Playlist Files folder on the SD card, so you can see the names of the
files in this folder as shown in Example 1.
•
•
•
EXAMPLE 1: Sample Playlist Files folder (3 JPG images, 2 MPG videos, and 1 AUTORUN.BRS script)
•
• 9
•
5 On your computer, open Notepad or a similar
text editor.
6 On the first line of your Notepad file, set the
video mode by entering one the following:
• If your BrightSign is connected to a VGA display,
enter: Videomode 1024x768x75p
• If your BrightSign is connected to an HDMI
display, enter: Videomode 1280x720x60p
Example 2a: Playlist for VGA display
7 On separate lines, type the name of each JPG
file located in the Sample Playlist Files folder,
as shown in Example 2.
8 Save the text file with the name AUTOPLAY.BSP:
a Click File > Save As.
•
•
10 •
In the Save as type field, select All Files.
In the File name field, enter
AUTOPLAY.BSP.
Click Save. That's it. You just created a
simple playlist that loops three images.
Example 2b:
Playlist for HDMI display
9 Copy the following files to the root directory of the SD card, as shown in Example 3:
• Your AUTOPLAY.BSP file
• The three sample JPG images (from the Sample Playlist Files folder)
• The AUTORUN.BRS file (from the Sample Playlist Files folder)
NOTE: Your new AUTORUN.BRS file overwrites the demo’s AUTORUN.BRS file.
EXAMPLE 3: Root of SD card with playlist, 3 JPG images, and AUTORUN.BRS script
10Remove the SD card from your card reader and insert the SD card into your BrightSign.
11Turn on your BrightSign.
•
• 11
•
Changing BrightSign settings
You can also use a playlist to customize BrightSign settings. Try customizing any of the
following settings in your playlist:
• Set the delay between images. The default delay
•
between images is 3 seconds. You change this
setting by adding one or more Slideinterval
keywords followed by the number of seconds you
want the image to display. In Example 4, image1
plays for 15 seconds, image2 plays for 10 seconds,
and image3 plays for 30 seconds.
Set PowerPoint style image effects. When
displaying images, you can choose from 20+
transition effects. To add a transition, insert one
or more Transition keywords in your playlist. Insert
the keyword before the image to which you want to
apply the transition. In Example 4, there is a
horizontal venetian blind effect before images 2 and
3, and image 3 fades into image 1. For a full list of
transition effects, see the User Guide at:
www.brightsign.biz/support/userguide.php.

Example 4:
Change settings
Adding videos to a playlist
In addition to playing images, you can use a playlist to play one or more videos. Just add the
names of the videos to your playlist. Try adding the two sample videos to your playlist:
1 Open your AUTOPLAY.BSP file in Notepad or a
similar text editor.
2 On separate lines, add the names of the 2 MPG files
from the Sample Playlist Files folder on the SD card.
TIP: The images and videos play in the same order as they
appear in the playlist, so enter the video file names where
you want them to appear.
3 (Optional) Set the volume level by entering the
Volume keyword followed by a volume setting.
The default volume level is 100 (the maximum).
4 Save the changes to your AUTOPLAY.BSP file.
5 Copy your revised AUTOPLAY.BSP file and the
two MPG files to the root of the SD card.
6 Remove the SD card from your card reader and
insert the SD card into your BrightSign.
7 Turn on your BrightSign.
Example 5: Change settings
•

•
Playing your own presentations
Playing a video loop
1 Copy your video file (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, H.264)
into the root directory of an SD card and name it
AUTOPLAY.VOB or AUTOPLAY.MPG.
2 Copy AUTORUN.BRS from the demo SD card
to the root directory of your SD card.
3 Insert your SD card into your BrightSign.
4 Turn on your BrightSign. After a few moments,
BrightSign plays the video and repeats it
automatically to create a loop.
Example 6: SD card with video loop
•
•
14 •
Playing a series of files using playlists
To play a series of files one after the other, you need to create a playlist that describes the items
you want to play.
1 Using a text editor, such as Notepad, enter the names of the files you want to play in the
order you want them to play. A playlist can include the following types of files:
• Video: MPG (MPEG-2 transport streams with MP3 audio)
• Image: BMP, PNG, JPG (JPEG)
• Audio: MP3
NOTE: We’re adding support for more file formats. Visit www.brightsign.biz/support for a
current list of supported file types.
2 Use the Save As command to name the file AUTOPLAY.BSP.
NOTE: Most text editors save files with a TXT extension, so be sure to override the extension.
3 Copy the following files to the root directory of your SD card:
• AUTOPLAY.BSP (the playlist you just created)
• Media files referenced in your playlist
• AUTORUN.BRS (copy this file from the demo SD card)
•
• 15
•
4 Insert your SD card into your BrightSign.
5 Turn on your BrightSign. After a few
moments, BrightSign plays the playlist
and repeats it automatically.
TIP: You can also add commands to your
playlist to control playback of the files or
to play the playlist at a scheduled time.
For details, see the User Guide at:
www.brightsign.biz/support/userguide.php.

Displaying items simultaneously using BrightSign Zones
With BrightSign zones you can divide the screen into windows and play different types of
content in each window, including video, images, ticker feeds (RSS or text), or a clock. You can
also control the background color, background image, font, text color, and transitions. See
the User Guide for details on adding zones to your presentations.

Playing an interactive presentation
With BrightSign HD410, HD810, and HD1010 you can create an interactive presentation that
responds to user input from buttons or any other GPIO device that is connected to the RS232
port and generating serial commands. The HD 810 and HD1010 also support input for
interactivity from USB devices such as touch screens, mice, keyboards, and barcode scanners,
and the HD1010 also supports input for interactivity via the Ethernet port.
To play an interactive presentation, you need an interactive playlist. An interactive playlist
is a spreadsheet file that contains a list of information separated by commas (CSV file). The
interactive playlist describes which media files to playback based on the user's input. For a
complete list of supported devices and instructions on creating an interactive playlist, see
the User Guide at: www.brightsign.biz/support/userguide.php.
NOTE: If you're outside the United States, check the regional settings in Excel and make sure
the list separator is a comma and the decimal separator is a period.
