BrightAuthor and Configuration

BrightAuthor Setup

BrightAuthor is a free content management and publishing desktop application which can be used to configure players and upload playlists of scheduled content to one, or a network, of players. To download Brightauthor, visit: https://www.brightsign.biz/downloads/dsm-series

And download the most recent official release.

When starting a project in BrightAuthor, ensure that HS123 from the BrightSign Model dropdown menu, and 1920x1080x60p from the screen resolution dropdown menu are selected. Selecting a different resolution may cause video to display incorrectly and selecting an interlaced resolution (i.e. 1920x1080x60i) will cause video to fail.
