To update the OS one of these legacy players, copy the update.rok firmware file onto an SD card (manually or using BrightAuthor) and power up or restart the BrightSign with that card. The player will automatically install the OS and restart when complete. Other content or playlists may be present on the flash card at the same time as the firmware update.

• You can include an OS update when you setup a unit using BrightAuthor.

With the BrightSign USB Expansion Module, you can expand the interactive and audio potential of any display. The bi-directional GPIOs allow for the connection of up to 18 buttons or LEDs in a combination of your choosing (9 buttons and 9 LEDs, for example) to make any display more engaging. The digital and analog outputs support up to three simultaneous streams, enabling an immersive acoustic experience with flexible options. For example, you can link buttons (via the GPIOs) to the audio outputs, allowing users to listen to different audio sources on up to 3 speakers or headphones by pressing specified buttons. In addition, the optical SPDIF output provides even greater support for the A/V receivers.
