Introduction

The Roku BrightSign HD600 is a complete standalone Digital Sign or Kiosk Controller that can play content from standard Flash memory cards or over an Ethernet network. BrightSign can be used in looping or interactive modes while displaying video and images on almost any standard or high definition display. It has no moving parts, is completely digital, is compatible with standard media authoring software, and is very reliable. It is intended as a key component of a kiosk, tradeshow display or retail display, and can often be used to replace a PC. Reliability, durability, and flexibility in playing video, audio, and photos make it ideal for other applications as well

Examples

Here are some examples of what you can do with a BrightSign:

Display a looping video

Display a looping slide show in high definition

Play looping music

Combine any of the above

Create interactive displays that play video, photos, or audio in response to customers using touch screens, a USB keyboard, or a custom button board you have created.

Play audio or music by itself, synchronized to video, or simultaneous with video
