The broadcast address is based on your IP address and subnet mask. For example, if your IP address is 10.11.12.100, and your mask is 255.255.255.0, then your broadcast will be 10.11.12.255.

Many websites will calculate the broadcast address for you (for example: https://jodies.de/ipcalc).

BrightSign players support two types of 3D video in side-by-side mode and top-over-bottom mode, using either mpeg2 or h.264 content. You can specify the 3D mode of a video state in an Interactive playlist:

1. Double-click the Video state

2. Go to the Advanced tab

2. Select the Video Display Mode from the drop down list at the bottom of the window.

Any BrightSign player with a serial port can send and receive commands over serial using BrightAuthor:connected/BrightAuthor or a custom script (for example, to turn displays on or off and interact with devices with controllers such as Crestron, Alcorn or AMX).

Newer player models have a 3.5mm serial port, older models have a DE-9/DB-9 serial port:

• 3.5mm: XC4055, XC2055, XD1035, XT1145, XT2145, XT1144, XD1034, HD1025, HD1024, XT1143, XD1033, HD1023

• 3.5mm via USB: LS425, LS424, LS423 (via USB converter cable, available on the BrightSign store)

• DE-9/DB-9: 4K1142, 4K1042, XD1132, XD1032, XD1230, HD1022, HD1020, AU320. The DE-9/DB-9 connector is fully RS-232 compatible but the 3.5mm serial transmit pin does not comply with voltage levels for RS-232 signaling (which requires a voltage below -3V for logical 1). The serial port can interoperate successfully with most RS-232 receivers, but some devices (including some projectors and Crestron equipment) will not accept 0V as logical 1. In these instances, you can connect the player to the serial device using a USB-to-serial cable.
