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
