Cambridge, UK– BrightSign has announced two additions to its new generation of Series 5 players. New players make the features, performance and functionality offered by its latest technology accessible to a much wider range of digital signage applications. The HD5 and the LS5 will be available globally this spring. It will be exhibited at ISE in Barcelona, Spain opening on January 31 (booth 6H450).
The new 4K BrightSign HD5 is a great, affordable, versatile player. It offers the features and functionality needed for a broad range of digital signage projects. The standard model has gigabit ethernet, GPIO, optional WiFi, and IR ports. The extended I/O version adds USB and serial ports for added interactive functionality. Additionally, this player is cased in a thin aluminum enclosure that dissipates heat, eliminating the need for a fan.
BrightSign is also announcing the entry-level LS5, a low-cost solution available with HD and 4K resolution. The LS5 displays video, HTML and graphics over HDMI and outputs audio over 3.5mm digital/analogue port. The LS5 is ideal for basic digital signage projects.
“The new HD5 and LS5 bring the features, functionality and performance of our new Series 5 within reach of the full spectrum of digital signage applications. At the entry-level, we offer our signature stability, security and connectivity with a broad range of display and interactivity options. At the higher end of our Series 5 portfolio, our XC5 and XD5 players offer our advanced customers access to the most powerful players,” said BrightSign CEO Jeff Hastings.
