    Is this radar website an MRSS feed? You can add media rss feeds, image based, to the Brightsign.



    We don't play powerpoint direclty, but you can export your powerpoint slides as images, and play those on the brighsign. You can also convert your poweroint to a video for playback.

    Thank you for your reply!



    I have a loop in a powerpoint presentation that I would like to use in one of my zones and since I cant directly lay PPT how else can i create a loop?



    As for the weather radar it needs to be real time. Im not familiar with RSS feeds so if I end up using rss feeds for this weather radar would it be real time?

    You can export the powerpoint as jpegs, and the brightsign will loop the files in that zone as a playlist.



    For the weather, we don't process html. So, if your weather radar site could generate images automatically that could be part of a media rss feed, then those images could be fed down to the brightsign.
