BSN.cloud is BrightSign’s cloud-based platform for player and content management.

BSN.cloud consists of two tiers:

• The free Control Cloud offers useful tools for player provisioning and management.

• The subscription-based Content Cloud includes everything the Control Cloud offers plus hosting and management of content.

The Control Cloud can be thought of as a subset of the Content Cloud, both of which are powered by the BSN.cloud platform.

Control Cloud (Free)

In addition to provisioning, the free Control Cloud offers many useful tools, all of which can be seamlessly accessed with BrightAuthor:connected.

Control Cloud for Partners

The Control Cloud’s functionality can also be accessed via the free and unbranded web interface at control.bsn.cloud. Partners are highly recommended to take advantage of this option when integrating with BrightSign.

Many partners choose to use the “Swivel Chair” approach in which two browser tabs are utilized alongside each other: one tab is used for content management through the partner’s CMS, and another tab is used for player provisioning / management via control.bsn.cloud. More info about this approach can be found in the Partner Packet here.

API Integration

Partners can tap into the functionalities of the Control Cloud with their own custom user interfaces by using our APIs. This enables the partner to define the user interface for accessing Control Cloud features.

Additional info about the Control Cloud can be found here.

Content Cloud (Subscription)

The subscription-based Content Cloud consists of all the features of the Control Cloud plus the hosting of presentations and media assets along with tools to manage that content. It can be accessed with BrightAuthor:connected or via a web browser at bsn.cloud.
