BrightScript is a powerful scripting language for building media and networked applications for BrightSign players. Through a library of lightweight BrightScript objects, BrightScript enables access to the player’s API (Application Programming Interface) so that users can utilize the player’s underlying components for networking, media playback, UI screens, and interactive interfaces. As an interpreted language (rather than a compiled one), BrightScript is optimized for generating feature-rich applications in an efficient and user-friendly way.

 to understand characteristics of the BrightScript language such as syntax, operators, statements, types, core library, etc.

 for a directory of publicly available objects, interfaces, and methods that comprise the BrightScript API.

JavaScript APIs

Player APIs (BrightScript & JavaScript)

This is our legacy cloud platform. Our latest cloud platform is BSN.Cloud which consists of the free bsn.Control and the paid bsn.Content tiers. Development of BSN has largely ceased and will eventually be deprecated and replaced with BSN.Cloud.

BrightSign_Network_BSN

BrightSign’s *legacy* app for authoring and managing players. The app's actual name is BrightAuthor but is referred to as BrightAuthor Classic to lessen confusion with BrightAuthor:connected, our latest app.

BrightAuthor_Classic

BrightSign’s latest free, all-in-one app for player setup / management, authoring, and content management.

BrightAuthorconnected

The BSN.Cloud record of a player and its Setup. The Default Setup is assigned to the player unless another Setup has been explicitly set.

Provision_Record

The process where a Setup is delivered and applied to a player by BSN.Cloud.

Provision

A set of files containing player settings (player name, description, time zone, Publishing Mode, network settings, etc.) and an autorun.brs file which instructs the player what to do upon bootup.

Setup

Info

Your documentation's source code where all files and their history are stored. The web editor connects to your documentation repository to access and modify content, or you can edit files locally in your preferred IDE.

repositoryyyyy

TestVASVariable

Are like departments for your users. You can create different groups (like Engineers, Marketing, or Management) and assign users to them. This helps you organize your users and give them different access levels to different parts of your organization

User_Groups

Connect multiple published Spaces for easy navigation between docs (e.g., User Guides, API docs). Add links in Space settings, label them, and publish. Changes to links automatically update across connected Spaces. 

Space_Links

Think of them as folders for your Spaces. You start with one called "Spaces." Make more folders if you need them. You can add, rename, or delete folders (but only if they're empty). To put a Space in a folder, just drag it there, use the move action,

Space_Group

Containers for documents organized by teams or projects. Each account has a personal space, and organizations can create custom ones with access control.

Spaces

Building blocks for your docs. Think of them as Legos for your content. You can use them to create headings, tables, images, code snippets, and more. There are basic, media, developer, and embedded blocks to choose from.
