How to Set Up a BrightSign Media Player

BrightSign Media Player

You can now use Yodeck with your BrightSign players, giving you more flexibility when it comes to choosing the perfect commercial-grade media player for your digital signs!

To set up your BrightSign player for use with Yodeck, first, ensure that you have the following:

• BrightSign player (any version will work).
• Power supply unit for the BrightSign player.
• Micro SD card (at least class 10 and 8GB).
• SD card reader (if needed).
• HDMI cable.
• Ethernet cable.

After assembling all the necessary equipment, you need to prepare your SD card.

1. Format the card to FAT32. Next, download the Yodeck BrightSign player app.
2. Unzip the downloaded file on your computer, and then copy all of the extracted files to the root folder of the SD card.
   Note: At this stage, make sure you have opened the unzipped folder and copied the individual files inside to the SD card, rather than copying the root folder alone.
3. Safely remove the SD card from your computer. Make sure the BrightSign player is turned off, then insert the SD card. Now, you can turn on the player.
   Note: Ensure that your player is connected to the internet via an ethernet cable and to your screen via HDMI.

The setup will happen automatically and will take a few minutes. It may reboot a few times.

Once the process is complete, you will see the Yodeck BrightSign player running on-screen along with your unique 9-digit registration code.

Register the Player to your Yodeck Account

1. Log in and go to the ‘Monitors‘ tab. Add a new monitor and select the ‘BrightSign‘ option.
2. Provide a ‘Name’ for the monitor and add your 9-digit code under ‘Registration Code’.
3. Select the content you want to show on the screen and click ‘Save’.
4. Go back to your Yodeck account, and in the ‘Monitor’s Settings’, under ‘Registration Code’, add your personal code.
5. After a few minutes, your player will be registered to your account and will start displaying the content assigned to that screen.
