Creating HTML Pages

Follow these steps when creating HTML pages:

1. Make sure the HTML page has the same aspect ratio as your signage display. If you are using HTML content in a BrightAuthor zone that is smaller than the screen, fit the page to the same aspect ratio as the zone.

2. Use a master Div aligned to 0,0 when building an HTML page. This will ensure correct alignment.

3. When creating an HTML site, make sure that all webpage assets (image files, video files, etc.) are contained within the same folder on your local disk. This folder is a “site folder,” meaning that all assets in this folder and its subfolders will be used in the production of the webpage. If these assets are not in the folder, they will not display when the project is published.

4. You can test the layout and appearance of a page locally by opening it with Google Chrome, which has similar rendering capabilities to BrightSign players.

5. If you want to publish resource-intensive presentations (e.g. <video> elements or multiple transforms) using HTML, we recommend using a Class 10 (10Mb/s) SD card.
