each day searching for their television remote controls.

BrightSign GilderScript
The BrightSign video players are simple, completely solid
state High Definition video players. Instead of using a
DVD, hard drive, or other device with spinning parts
for storing the video, the BrightSign players use
standard Sd, SdHC or SdXc flash cards. They have no
moving parts. Not even a fan to wear out.
BrightSign players come in several different
models. All units feature:
•
No moving parts! SdHc Flash Card for video storage
•
Video formats: the GilderScript supports VideoFiles with
the extensions .mp4, .mpg, .vob, .mov and .ts
•
Display Resolutions: 1920x1080@60p, 60i,
59.94p,59.94i, 50p, 50i, 30p, 29.97p & 24p,
1280x720@60p, 59.94p & 50p
1360x768x60p,1280x800x60p, 1280x768x60p,
1024x768x60p, 800x600x60p, 720x576x50p,
720x480x60p & 59.94p, 640x480x60p
There are many BrightSign players available. The Gilder-
Script will work with any BrightSign player with GPIO trigger
inputs. The ‘Xd’ series players can decode up to two full
1080P video streams simultaneously, and upscale 1080p
video to 4K resolution. The v-Xd1230 also has video inputs
(HDMI and RF). Only the ‘v-4K’ players can deliver native 4K
(3840 x 2160) H.265 playback at 60 fps via HDMI 2.0.
All the BrightSign players will play ‘round-robin’ any com-
patible VideoFiles that are loaded onto the Sd flash card. If
you need to do anything more complicated, you will need to
add a file to the Sd card called a ‘script’.
The
‘Script’ tells
the BrightSign player
what you would like to hap-
pen on the trigger inputs, and the
order the files will play in.
The GilderScript eliminates the need to write your own
script in most applications. It allows you to configure your
BrightSign player by just dropping your media files into file
folders on the Sd card. The GilderScript also lets you set what
videos will play between triggered events,
whether another video can ‘step on’ an-
other which already playing, and whether
you want your videos to play in a random
or sequential order.
You will need to write your own script, or
modify the GilderScript if you would like
your BrightSign player to log into a WiFi or
wired ethernet connection, relay com-
mands via WiFi or ethernet to other Bright-
Sign players for synchronized multi-screen
playback, or to enter a schedule to auto-
mate things like turning on and off your
video projector/monitor.
Getting Started with
your GilderScript
Like any BrightSign script, the GilderScript is
in a file called ‘AUTORUN.brs’. Don’t get it
mixed up with another AUTORUN.brs file! If
you got your GilderScript from us, it should
already be on the Sd card. If you are start-
ing with a blank Sd card, just drag-n-drop
(or copy & paste) this file onto your Sd card.
‘Background’ Videos
You can have one or more media files that will automati-
cally play when the BrightSign is powered up, and will also
play whenever a triggered ‘foreground’ file is not playing.
These are called ‘Background’ files.
The v-Hd220 players don’t have any trigger inputs. The
only way to play media files with the GilderScript are as
‘Background’ Files.
