Publishing Presentations - BrightSign HD Series Quick Start Manual

Publishing presentations

After creating a presentation, you can publish the content to your BrightSign player using one of four methods: local
storage, local networking, simple file networking, or via the BrightSign Network. This guide will teach you how to publish
your presentations to an SD card and update your BrightSign player manually. For details on the other publishing
methods, see the BrightAuthor user guide at: www.brightsign.biz/support/userguide.php.
Note: Your SD, SDHC, or SDXC card must be formatted using FAT32 for it to work with a BrightSign player.
To publish a presentation to an SD card:
1. Insert an SD card into your computer's card reader.
2. Click the Publish tab in the upper-left side of the BrightAuthor screen.
3. Click Local Storage (below the Publish tab).
4. Under Presentations, click Browse, select the folder where your presentation is saved, and then click OK.
5. Select the presentation you want to publish from the list of presentations.
6. Drag the presentation into the calendar to the right to set a time when the presentation will play. Double-click the
presentation in the calendar to further adjust playing times.
7. Under Publish to, click Browse, select the drive where your SD card is located, and then click OK.
8. Click Publish. When the Publish Complete window opens, click OK.
9. Turn off your BrightSign player by unplugging the unit's power adapter.
10. Insert the SD card from the above steps into the BrightSign player.
11. Turn on the BrightSign player by reconnecting the power adapter.
12. Leave the SD card in the player. A local storage device (SD card or USB flash drive) must always remain inserted
in the BrightSign player, regardless of which publishing method you are using. The only time a storage device
should be removed from the player is when you are manually updating its content.
