The New Era of Digital Signage: BrightSign Series 6
Japan Material Co., Ltd., under the leadership of President Hisao Tanaka, is proud to announce the launch of the new BrightSign Series 6 players, set to be released on January 16. As the latest offering from BrightSign, a leader in the digital signage market, these players come with enhanced features and capabilities that are sure to elevate the presentation of digital content.
Enhanced Features for Next-Level Signage
The BrightSign Series 6 includes the XD6 and HD6 models, both designed to meet the demands of modern digital signage applications.
NPU Integration
One of the standout features of the Series 6 is the inclusion of Neural Processing Units (NPU), which allows for advanced content management. This enables real-time analytics and the use of artificial intelligence to create more engaging and responsive signage experiences.
LTE Communication
In a world where connectivity can be an issue, the Series 6 players are equipped with a SIM slot compatible with M.2 modems and micro SIM cards. This means that even in areas without a stable network, users can deliver content via cellular networks, ensuring uninterrupted service. (Note: customers are responsible for their own modem and carrier contracts.)
Display Control Technology
The addition of an RJ45 port enables effective control of displays through browsers, providing options to power devices on and off remotely.
Core Functions Retained
Despite these advancements, the Series 6 retains key features from its predecessor models:
- - 4K Output: Users will enjoy stunning image quality, thanks to the fanless design that ensures stable operation.
- - Power over Ethernet (PoE+): This functionality allows for the delivery of power without the need for separate power cords (available in XD6 series only).
- - Interactive Capabilities: The new models utilize RS-232C, USB, GPIO, and UDP for seamless interaction with external devices, creating an interactive digital experience with the aid of additional sensors.
Simplified Content Management
BrightSign's authoring software,
brightAuthor connected, simplifies the content creation process. When paired with the cloud service
BSN.Cloud, users can efficiently distribute content and manage devices. It's important to note that the older
brightAuthor classic is not compatible with Series 6 models.
Comprehensive Product Lineup
The BrightSign Series 6 consists of two prominent models:
- - XD6 Series: A high-end model optimized for HTML animations with exceptional performance.
- - HD6 Series: Designed for interactive signage and 4K video playback, catering to diverse signage requirements.
