RSS, Text, and Media RSS Feeds
Networked BrightSign players can include RSS feeds. These can include standard RSS (text) or Media RSS (feeds that
contain video or images). Alternatively, you can create your own text feeds and add them to a Ticker zone like an RSS
feed.
Note: Text feeds are static, whereas RSS and Media RSS feeds are updated each time the BrightSign connects to the
server. This is ideal for instant updates from sources such as Twitter.
Text Feeds
1. Create a .txt file (using Notepad or a similar program) that contains the text you wish to display.
a. Insert a line break between each text item in the .txt file.
b. Save the text file and place it in your Media Library folder.
2. Select a Ticker zone in your presentation.
a. Click the Text tab.
b. Drag the text file into the playlist.
3. Repeat this step to add additional text files.
RSS Feeds
1. Select a Ticker zone in your presentation.
2. Click the RSS tab and drag the New RSS Feed icon into the playlist.
a. Select a data feed from the dropdown list.
b. Click OK.
If you need to define a new data feed, click the Add Data Feed button. To learn more about creating new data feeds, see
the Setting Presentation Properties section. If you want to add a Twitter feed, drag the Twitter icon into the playlist. When
prompted, enter your Twitter User Name and click OK.
Note: You can include multiple Ticker zones in your presentations. To adjust the update frequency for RSS feeds, click
File > Presentation Properties. Under the Main tab, use the dropdown list beside RSS Update Frequency.
