The XC2055, XC4055 and XT2145 BrightSign players have multi-headed output features to let you author video wall and multiple screen presentations. This page describes how to create a multiscreen presentation in BrightAuthor:connected for these players.

...

  1. This will take you to the Screens tab. If your player has two outputs, two screen layouts will be displayed. If it has four outputs, four screen layouts will be displayed (see Image 2).

  2. Select the layout and resolution by changing the number of layouts in the Screen Count dropdown menu and picking a Screen Resolution. If you chose one output, you can select 8K resolution output, but if you have more than one screen, the output is limited to 4K for each screen. Layout Resolution in the right panel will show you the total resolution.

  3. Select a Target Frame Rate or use the default.

  4. Check Force Resolution or Enable YCbCr 10-bit Output for those options:

    1. Force Resolution forces the player to output the selected resolution even if the display reports over HDMI® that it does not support it. If this box is unchecked, the player will attempt to use the selected Screen Resolution,  but will then fall back to the highest resolution supported by the display if it is unsupported. 

    2. Enable YCbCr 10-bit Output outputs a 10-bit color video signal to the connected display. See the video encoding FAQ  for page for more details on supported 4K color spaces and bit depths.

  5. Under Screen Properties:

    1. Enter a Name for your screen

    2. Select a Video Output (HDMI-1, HDMI-2, HDMI-3, HDMI-4).

    3. Enter Bezel Compensation values, including bezel Top, Bottom, Left, and Right, to adjust the display for the space between the screens. Set this for each screen or select Apply to All Screens to apply the settings for one screen to all the screens. Bezels that are selected will be highlighted.

Touchscreens

As of BOS 9.0.22.3, even if multiple touchscreens are attached to a player, only the screen attached to the HDMI-1 output of a XC2055, XC4055, or XT2145 can be configured for touch events (the touch area will be mapped to the portion of the screen associated with HDMI-1).
