BrightSign players run on a highly efficient, embedded system specifically designed for connectivity and the processing of media files. Our players are purpose-built from the ground up for digital signage!
Software
The BrightSign operating system (BrightSignOS or BOS) is an open-source Linux-based OS based on the Yocto and OpenEmbedded projects. It includes substantial BrightSign modifications that include a read-only root filesystem in flash memory, a Chromium rendering engine, and additional components for audio/video processing and security.

Some of BrightSign’s software components are open source, and the open source code is freely available on BrightSign’s website. See BrightSign Open Source Resources for more information.
