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:
