Introduction
The Roku BrightSigns are complete standalone Digital Sign or Kiosk Controllers that can
play content from standard Flash memory cards. BrightSigns have uniquely high quality
video playback. This is achieved via professional quality decoders and a scaler that can
produce crisp clean 1920x1080 interlaced video from high definition mpeg sources on an
HD2000, and 1024x768 video on a VGA monitor from standard definition mpeg sources
on an HD600. Still video/pictures can be displayed natively in high definition modes. The
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.
