Alternatively, you can schedule a presentation by double-clicking a blank area on the schedule to open the Schedule Presentation window.

 

If you want the presentation to be a recurring event, double-click the presentation timeframe in the calendar. In the Schedule Presentation window, set the following parameters:

...

  • Standalone unit with setup: Publishes both the scheduled presentation(s) and player setup files at the same time. When you click the Publish button, the BrightSign Unit Setup window will open, prompting you to configure the player for Standalone use.
  • Setup unit for BrightSign Network: Includes player setup files for the BrightSign Network with the scheduled presentation(s). This option is useful if you want to ensure that a newly set up player will run a presentation even if it cannot initially connect to the BrightSign Network. Once the player connects to the BrightSign Network, it will update to the current presentation and schedule for its assigned group. When you click Publish, you will be prompted to set up the player for the BrightSign Network.
  • Publish for USB update: Publishes the scheduled presentations(s) to a USB flash drive. You can then use the flash drive to update the SD card in the BrightSign player. This allows you to update content on a Standalone player without ever needing to remove the SD card. USB updates only work with players that are configured for Standalone publishing.
Warning
titleImportant

 A A schedule must already be published to the SD card for the USB update to work. Publish an initial schedule via the SD card first; you can then use the USB update feature for subsequent publishing operations.
