The BrightSign LS425 and LS445 media players can be used to decode images, audio, and video for digital-signage and kiosk applications. In addition to driving audio/video devices, these players can be controlled with various networked and built-in interfaces. Both models include a Real Time Clock (RTC) with supercapacitor that backs up the clock settings when it is power cycled. The LS425 decodes Full HD video while the LS445 decodes 4K 8-bit at 60p or 4K 10-bit at 30p video.

These pages specify the hardware interfaces and operational theory of the LS425 and LS445.
