BrightSign has 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.
Jeff Hastings, CEO of BrightSign, said, “In two short years, BSN.cloud has become an integral piece of the BrightSign ecosystem. 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 improve workflow in two primary areas: player set-up and player control and remote management:
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. BSN.cloud includes a free subscription to the Control Cloud, with the ability to customise player set-up with an extensive list of partner CMS providers. Additionally, BSN.cloud now includes the following features during the player set-up process:
Support for BrightSign Mobile
WPA Enterprise/802.1x
Multi-network port redundancy and prioritisation
Streamlined single set-up for custom configurations with partner CMS
Tagged VLAN support
Player Control and Remote Management
Real-time player control via BSN.cloud enables users to view and monitor media player health in real-time from any location, including player diagnostics and controls. 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 and controls:
Real-time reporting of player network health over the previous 24 hours
The ability to assess SD card health in real-time
Make real-time edits to player properties such as network settings, interface priority and data rate limiting
Auto-discovery and configuration of network interfaces
Automatic rollback to a valid network configuration
