BrightSign media players
Deploy OneDisplay on BrightSign players for maximum reliability, control, and longevity.
BrightSign players are renowned for uptime and predictable scheduling. If your deployment is mission-critical or needs IO/RS-232 control, BrightSign is a great fit.
Compatibility
We support the current and previous BrightSign families:
| Family | Typical use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Series 5 — LS5, HD5, XD5, XT5 | Entry → high-end 4K/HDR | Best performance & longevity. Recommended for new installs. |
| Series 4 — LS, HD, XD, XT | Existing fleets | Generally compatible; prefer latest BrightSignOS and firmware. |
| Audio players | Audio-only signage | Supported for audio playlists and triggers. |
✅ Recommendation: Choose HD5 for general 1080p/4K playback, XD5/XT5 for multi-zone 4K/HDR and heavier HTML.
