Generally speaking, there are two approaches for authoring player content:
BrightAuthor:connected Presentations
Users can author presentations using BrightSign’s all-in-one authoring and player management app, BrightAuthor:connected. From simple, looping videos to advanced, interactive presentations spanning multiple screens, BrightAuthor:connected enables users to take full advantage of our players' capabilities.
...
Thanks to the Chromium engine that is built-in comes with every player, players are capable of displaying standards-compliant web pages. Users can thus use familiar web technologies (i.e., HTML, JavaScript, etc.) to create presentations for players to display.
...
Does the player have network access?
If so, is the player accessible over the local network and/or is it accessible over the internet?
Will a CMS will be used?
If so, will it be BrightSign’s Content Cloud CMS or a Partner CMS?
The desired publishing mode will then generally determine which user interface will be used to interact with the player. The user interface will either be BrightAuthor:connected or, in the case of a partner CMS, a web browser.
This table summarizes these considerations and the resulting corresponding user interface:
Publishing | Requires Local Network Access | Requires Internet | CMS | User Interface |
---|---|---|---|---|
Standalone | No | No | None | BrightAuthor:connected |
Local Network | Yes | No | None | BrightAuthor:connected |
BSN.cloud | No | Yes | Content Cloud | BrightAuthor:connected |
Web Folder | No | Yes | None | BrightAuthor:connected |
Partner App | No | Yes | Partner CMS | Web browser |
