This section describes the characteristics and operation of all connectors on the XC2055 the XD235 and XC4055XD1035.

Ethernet 

Power Connector

The power connector for the XD235 and XD1035, which connects the power cord to the device, is rated for 12V @3A. The plug is a right-side positive, locking 2-pin (1x2) connector.

HDMI Output

The HDMI-out connector is used to send digital video and audio to HDMI-enabled sink devices. XC2055 has two The HDMI^® outputs and the XC4055 has four HDMI outputs. One of the HDMI outputs on each device type is HDMI 2.1 output on the XD235 and XD1035 is HDMI 2.0a. CEC control is  supported supported over each HDMI the HDMI interface independently, and it can maintain the configured multiscreen layout if one of the HDMI outputs loses sync.The XC2055 . This connector can output a maximum video resolution of 7680x4320x60p, decoding up to 8-bit.

The XC4055 connector can output a maximum video resolution of 7680x4320x60p, decoding up to 10-bit

The XC2055 and XC4055 support HDR10 video, HLG, 3840x2160x60p. 

GPIO 

The XC2055 and XC4055 have a 12-pin GPIO switch and LED connector. The port can supply 5V@1Amp to PWR pins and sink or source 24mA on each button pin. Auxiliary power is 1A.

Power Connector

The power connector for the XC2055 and XC4055, which connects the power cord to the device, is rated for 19V. It uses a locking connector to prevent inadvertent disconnections.

USB

The XD1035 has one USB-A and one USB-C port to connect USB-compatible devices. The USB-C port supports both device and host mode and USB-C to any GP800-C device. Both ports meet USB 2.0 specifications.

The XD235 does not support USB ports.

Ethernet 

A single RJ45 jack is provided for connection that supports 10base-T, 100base-T, and 1000base-T operations, as well as Power over Ethernet (PoE). 

This ethernet connection delivers power on PoE Type 1 at up to 12.95W and as PoE Type 2 (PoE+) at up to 25.5W to the XD235 and/or XD1035 units.

3.5mm Audio Connector

The XD235 and XD1035 have a combination have a combination analog/optical audio jack. To transmit a digital audio signal, use a TOSLINK optical audio cable with a 3.5mm connector. Analog and digital audio cannot be transmitted simultaneously.

The full-scale voltage output of the analog audio is 2V RMS. The minimum load impedance is 32Ω.

The analog audio connector has the following pinout:

• Tip: Left audio
• Ring: Right audio
• Sleeve: Ground for audio signal

3.5mm IR Input/Output

The IR blaster can transmit and receive a variety of common Consumer-IR formats including NEC and RC5. RC5 encoding is also supportedgenerates or receives a space-encoded NEC or Pronto Hex signal. The two transported bit values of the signal (0 and 1) are encoded using differing lengths of low-time IR pulses.

The 3.5mm IR in/out port has the following pinout:

• Tip: 3.3V@50mA
• Ring: IR Input
• Sleeve: IR Output

3.5mm Serial

The XD1035 has a UART (asynchronous serial) interface has in a 3.5mm (⅛") jack for connection of external devices that use a standard asynchronous serial protocol. It uses TTL 5 mm mini-jack that uses RS-232 levels for communication.   The 3.5mm serial connector has a driver/receiver which converts TIA/RS-232-F voltage levels for the processor. The port is tolerant up to ±30-V inputs.receiver will tolerate input voltages between -30V and +30V, with anything below 3V interpreted as a logical 1. The transmitter drives +8V for logical 0 and -8V for logical 1. 

The default baud rate of the interface is 115200, with no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. These settings can be configured in the software. The serial interface supports TX, RX, and ground only—RTS/CTS hardware flow control is not supported. The following diagram illustrates the behavior of the TX and RX signal:

The 3.5mm serial port has the following configuration (from the perspective of the player):

• Tip: Transmit Receive
• Ring: ReceiveTransmit
• Sleeve: Ground

BrightSign players are DTE DCE devices, so communication with another DTE DCE device that uses a 3.5mm port would require a null-modem cable or converter that transposes the TX/RX signals. If the device communicating with the player uses is a DTE device with a DE9 serial port (performing asynchronous transmission), the serial cable should be wired as shown in the following diagram:

GPIO 

The XC2055 XD235 and XC4055 XD1035 have one USB-A and one USB-C 3.0 port to connect USB-compatible devices. The Type-C port supports dual role USB operation and DisplayPort™ alternate mode. 

These devices provide 5V 1A over each USB port for peripheral devices.

3.5mm Audio Connector

The XC2055 and XC4055 have a combination analog/optical audio jack. To transmit a digital audio signal, use a TOSLINK optical audio cable with a 3.5mm connector. Analog and digital audio cannot be transmitted simultaneously. Dolby audio is supported as a paid license.

The analog audio connector has the following pinout:

• Tip: Left audio
• Ring: Right audio
• Sleeve: Ground for audio signal

WiFi Antenna Connectors

The XC2055 and XC4055 a 12-pin GPIO switch and an LED connector, which allows the player to control external LEDs or other devices. The port can supply 5V@1Amp to PWR pins and sink or source 24mA on each button pin. Auxiliary power is 1A.

WiFi Antenna Connectors

The XD235 and XD1035 have two SMA connectors to allow easy installation of external WiFi antennas.
