There are three types of presentation you can create in BrightSign Author and Author Plus:

: A looping playlist of media–images, videos, HTML pages, etc. that occupies the entire presentation display. 

: Content can occupy different zones on the screen, allowing you to display multiple images, videos, HTML pages, and text widgets in a customizable layout.

: Playback, whether full-screen or multi-zone, is responsive to interactive events such as button presses, GPIO input, or UDP commands.

Besides image, video, audio, and HTML files, presentations can also feature a number of 

, such as Live Text, Media RSS feeds, and HDMI

Your presentation can be saved to the cloud, where it can be accessed by other users, or it can be published directly to players.
