BrightSign Announce Major BSN.cloud Updates

BrightSign, the global market leader in digital signage media players, today announced significant updates to BSN.cloud, the company’s cloud-based digital signage network management platform. BSN.cloud sits at the core of the BrightSign ecosystem, enabling cloud-connectivity to all BrightSign players for easy, secure player and content management across any network-connected digital signage.

“In two short years, BSN.cloud has become an integral piece of the BrightSign ecosystem,” said Jeff Hastings, CEO of BrightSign. “We have invested heavily in the platform to ensure we’re providing the functionality our customers need, and BSN.cloud is now more robust than ever with a host of new features.”

The BSN.cloud updates announced today improve workflow in two primary areas: player set-up and player status & controls:

Player Set-Up

BSN.cloud streamlines media player set-up with simple on-screen instructions for player activation and provisioning for any number of players simultaneously.

With BSN.cloud, administrators can take remote snapshots to see what’s playing on-screen, and remotely perform player reboots and BrightSign OS updates. On top of the functionality described above, BSN.cloud now offers the following capabilities for player status & controls:

  • Real-time reporting of player network health over the previous 24 hours
  • The ability to assess SD card health in real time
