The BrightSign HD222 and HD1022 media players can be used to decode images, audio, and video (at resolutions up to 1920x1080x60p) 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.

This page specifies the hardware interfaces and operational theory of the HD222 and HD1022.
