Use GPIO to control other hardware

Is the GPIO interface only an input or is it possible to control other hardware with it (for example turn on a light?)

    Each GPIO can be set to be either input or output. and yes they can be use to control other devices.

    Please refer to page 7 and 8 of the below user manual:

    Is the GPIO used to link the BrightSign units in order to synchronise them (as a stand alone system). I need to play and synchronise three videos - without using internet option.

    No, sync is done over Ethernet. To synchronize two BrightSigns you need a single Ethernet cable to connect them. For more units, you can also use a hub/switch/router or the units can be on the same network.
