BrightSign launches new HD digital signage players, kiosks

April 10, 2012

BrightSign, a provider of digital signage solutions, has launched a new line of HD solid-state digital signage controllers that are more affordable and have a smaller form factor than previous solutions, according to a company press release. The new HD line has three models to support a wide variety of applications ranging from stand-alone kiosk displays to networked solutions with engaging interactivity, Jeff Hastings, BrightSign CEO, said in the release.

"We're excited about the new players because they deliver the same robust features, signature reliability and ease of use our customers require, but at prices that are now lower than ever before and on an updated platform that delivers even better media handling capabilities," he said. "It's unusual to be able to significantly improve products and, at the same time, reduce the cost; but that's exactly what we've done."

Using power-efficient technology, the new players deliver consistently high performance and reliability — even for 24/7 applications. All of the models in BrightSign's new product line also feature Full HD quality for flawless video playback, solid-state (PC-less) reliability, and free BrightAuthor signage management software plus a variety of networking options, Hastings said.

BrightSign's new HD Digital Signage player line includes:

BrightSign HD120 – Basic Interactive Model: BrightSign's most affordable, Full HD solution brings stand-alone displays to life and combines solid-state reliability and simple GPIO interactivity. Updates can be made with an SD card.

BrightSign HD220 – Networked Looping Model: Enables easy, networked content updates and live data feeds (Live Text), along with video playback and Ethernet synchronization.

BrightSign HD1020 – Networked Interactive Model: Offers interactive options to engage customers using GPIO, USB, serial and UDP connections and networked content for a truly impressive display.

BrightAuthor – a PC software application included free of charge with all BrightSign digital signage controllers; creating, publishing, managing and monitoring digital signage displays is simplified.

The players are available on April 17.
