Setting the video mode The BrightSign software automatically sets the video resolution by communicating with the display attached to your BrightSign. On the HD110, HD210, HD410, HD810, and HD1010, first BrightSign checks to see if a VGA display is attached. If it finds a VGA display, it sets the video resolution to the best mode supported by the VGA display and by BrightSign. If BrightSign doesn't find a VGA display, it looks for an HDMI display. If it finds an HDMI display, it sets the video resolution to the best mode supported by the HDMI display and by BrightSign. If BrightSign cannot find a VGA or HDMI display, or if the display does not comply with standards and properly communicate with BrightSign, it sets the video resolution to 1024x768x75p. If a display is attached but it is turned off when you turn BrightSign on, BrightSign tries to communicate with the display and set the best video mode; if the display is designed correctly, BrightSign can still set the best video mode. However, if a display does not provide the required information when it is turned off (a violation of the way displays are supposed to operate), you need to set the video mode explicitly by including the Videomode keyword in your playlist (see Playlist commands for details). On the HD2000, BrightSign outputs video through the Component and HDMI connectors and the default video resolution is 720p. If the resolution of a still image file does not exactly match the display resolution (videomode), then BrightSign scales the image to fit or it centers/crops the image, depending on the imagemode you selected (see Playlist commands and Keywords for details). Video files are always scaled to fit. (The video mode button is not currently supported on the HD2000.) 11 • •

Setting the video mode
The BrightSign software automatically sets the video resolution by communicating with the
display attached to your BrightSign.
On the HD110, HD210, HD410, HD810, and HD1010,
first BrightSign checks to see if a VGA display
is attached. If it finds a VGA display, it sets the video resolution to the best mode supported by
the VGA display and by BrightSign. If BrightSign doesn’t find a VGA display, it looks for an HDMI
display. If it finds an HDMI display, it sets the video resolution to the best mode supported by the
HDMI display and by BrightSign. If BrightSign cannot find a VGA or HDMI display, or if the display
does not comply with standards and properly communicate with BrightSign, it sets the video
resolution to 1024x768x75p. If a display is attached but it is turned off when you turn BrightSign
on, BrightSign tries to communicate with the display and set the best video mode; if the display
is designed correctly, BrightSign can still set the best video mode. However, if a display does not
provide the required information when it is turned off (a violation of the way displays are
supposed to operate), you need to set the video mode explicitly by including the Videomode
keyword in your playlist (see
Playlist commands
for details).
On the HD2000, BrightSign outputs video through the Component and HDMI connectors and
the default video resolution is 720p. If the resolution of a still image file does not exactly match
the display resolution (videomode), then BrightSign scales the image to fit or it centers/crops the
image, depending on the imagemode you selected (see
