The Control Cloud is a free subscription service for use with all connected BrightSign players. At the Control Cloud level, Device Provisioning (B-Deploy) can be used to create, manage, and easily deploy device setups to your BrightSign players (regardless of the CMS you are using) and it requires no configuration. To connect a single player to BSN.cloud, simply take a photo of the QR code with your smart phone. To set up multiple players in bulk, simply take your new BrightSign player out of the box, plug it in, add a network connection, and BSN.cloud will automatically setup your players.
Once a player is setup with this secure connection to BSN.cloud, you can access it using the remote Diagnostic Web Server (DWS) to view real-time health information about connected players. The remote DWS provides a wide range of diagnostic tools that are available to connected players from any location. For example, you can use this remote connection to reprovision devices, take a snapshot, perform reboots, deploy BrightSign OS updates, and more. These tools are all securely available anywhere you are connected.
Partners can use the Control Cloud API’s to integrate all of the above into their digital signage solutions.
To access both the Control Cloud and Content Cloud within BSN.cloud, we've created BrightAuthor:connected. BrightAuthor:connected lets you set up and manage BrightSign players, and provides a unified experience for BrightSign products on Mac and Windows platforms, and through the Chrome web browser at https://bsn.cloud.
