How to Choose the Right BrightSign Digital Signage Player
BrightSign make it easy to choose the right digital signage player for your needs. Rather than crowding the market with multiple models and part codes each with few differences, BrightSign instead manufacture a handful of different digital signage players for different digital signage requirements.
BrightSign produce award-winning digital signage media players from entry-level all the way up to enterprise media players. Depending on your digital signage needs, there will be a BrightSign player to match your requirement.

- Is there a requirement for HDMI In to pass through Live TV or another HDMI source?
- Does your digital signage need PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
- Do you want an integrated OPS display/OPS player bundled solution?
- Is your content 4K and does it require true 4K graphics enablement?
- Do you require enterprise HTML performance for your content?
- Where can I buy a BrightSign Media Player?

BrightSign have three expanded IO Players suited for interactive digital signage. These are the HD1024, the XD1034 or the XT1144.

If you have content feeding from a separate HDMI source as part of your signage, then choose the XT1144 player. This is the top of the range enterprise-level signage player and the only BrightSign player with an HDMI In Port.
4. Does your digital signage need PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
If your digital signage requires power over ethernet, then you should choose either of the XT players. Either the XT244 or the XT1144 BrightSign player are both top of the range and offer POE.
