Can BrightSign players output component, S-Video, or composite video? (Legacy players)

Thanks you, I'll try

I have successfully done this several times in the passed with HD-220 units however I can not get it to work using HD-22w w/ BA 4.3.0.16. I have tried 2 VGA adaptors that both types have worked in the passed. The results are similar on both adaptors.

My presentations come out in Black and White, B&W out of phase or squiggly

I have tried many setting before I started this list, but all other attempts have similar results

Connector Type    Screen Res        Result

Comp      720x480x60P    B&W out of phase

VGA            640x480 P       B&W out of Phase

HDMI           NTSC-Comp   B&W out of Phase

HDMI         NTSC_M_JPN  B&W out of phase

Comp      NTSC-Comp     Squiggly on Blu, B&W on Green

I have even published an HD-220 pres. to the HD-222 with the same results

Is it possible to use the composite output without using BrightAuthor?

I mean, I need to use the unit as standalone, playing files from the SD/USB 

Maybe with an script?

And could be possible to have the 2 outputs active? HDMI and composite via VGA?

Thank you

Regards

Offcouse you can. We use scripts almost for everything.

Here is a script i found on internet (zachpoff.com) which I modified a bit. Paste the code below in a text file and save as 'autorun.brs'.

Inside the script are 'commented' instructions how to change resolution and output mode.

Good luck!
