You can use the BrightSign App to change the value of User Variables on a player.

  • User Variable Updates: Enable this option box to have the player automatically refresh the User Variables webpage whenever variable values change on the player.
  • Remote Snapshot: Configure Remote Snapshots for the Gallery section:
    • Enable Remote Snapshots: Enable/disable the Remote Snapshots feature, which allows you to remotely monitor the contents of the presentation display.
    • Snapshot Frequency (Minutes): Specify how often the player should take a snapshot of the presentation display.
    • Number of Snapshots to Save: Specify how many JPEG snapshot images can be stored on the local storage of the player.
    • JPEG quality level: Specify the quality level (and thus the file size) of each image file.
    • Portrait mode display: Enable/disable Portrait Mode display. This instructs the player to rotate the snapshots to portrait mode before saving and uploading them. Changing this setting will not affect images that have already been uploaded to the BrightSign App.
  • Action Buttons: Use the SmallMedium, and Large size buttons to edit the size of the Action buttons in the Action section. Making the buttons smaller allows you to fit more buttons on the screen.
