BrightPlates
BrightPlates is a user-friendly web-based presentation authoring and publishing interface. You can use BrightPlates to create professional-looking HTML5 content from premade templates, or you can upload your own HTML templates for uniquely branded content. If you have a BrightSign Network account, you can use content and Live Media feeds from your BSN account to populate the templates.
You can purchase BrightPlates subscriptions for each player you wish to use with BrightPlates. BrightSign Network subscriptions also include BrightPlates at no extra charge.
