bsn.Control (formerly Control Cloud)
Connecting to bsn.Control
To connect a single player to BSN.cloud, simply use your smartphone to scan a QR code from the player activation page (which is displayed after the player boots up). To set up multiple players in bulk, simply take your new BrightSign player out of the box, plug it in, add a network connection, and BSN.cloud will automatically setup your players.Â
Once a player is set up with BSN.cloud, you can access it using the remote Diagnostic Web Server (rDWS) to view real-time health information about connected players. The rDWS provides a wide range of diagnostic tools that are available to connected players from any location. For example, you can use this remote connection to reprovision players, take a screenshot of what the player is displaying, perform reboots, deploy BrightSignOS updates, and more. These tools are all securely available anywhere you are connected.
Access
The BrightAuthor:connected desktop app, available for both Mac and Windows, enables access to bsn.Control. In addition to providing the ability to easily set up and manage BrightSign players, BrightAuthor:connected also enables users to create, schedule, and publish presentations, all from a single, integrated user interface. For those who prefer not to use a desktop app, all of this functionality is also accessible via a web browser at https://control.bsn.cloud.
Partners can use the bsn.Control APIs to integrate all of the above into their digital signage solutions.
