What is the BrightSign Network?

Last Updated: October 20, 2016

The BrightSign Network is an affordable subscription-based content hosting and distribution service, providing the complete infrastructure to serve and support your digital signage network. It makes delivering remote content to one or many units a breeze and frees you from the complexities of hosting and maintaining your own network.

The BrightSign Network offers strong, reliable security using standard web technologies, and it is a scalable service that can support any size of network. It also includes the BrightAuthor PC software application, which provides the interface to not only monitor your network health, but also create, schedule and distribute presentations. BrightSign Network delivers the convenience and security required to support networked digital signs wherever they may be.

  • Use tags to generate filtered playlists.
  • Monitor the health of players connected to the BrightSign Network.
