BrightSign, the Los Gatos, Calif.-based provider of digital signage media players will preview its forthcoming XC5 media players at InfoComm 2022 (booth N735). Show attendees will be the first to sneak a peek at BrightSign’s new hardware – the first new players unveiled by the company in nearly two years.
“To call our new XC5 media players an evolution of our existing media player lineup would do them a disservice,” says BrightSign CEO Jeff Hastings. “We’ve created the market’s most powerful solid-state media players by making exponential leaps in performance that simply can’t be matched by competitive offerings,” he says.
Hastings continues, “We didn’t build these new players on specs alone. We worked closely with many of our top CMS partners to understand the performance and usability features they value most. Their feedback was invaluable as we refined this new offering, and we’re confident that our newest hardware will be embraced by our partners across the industry.”
The new BrightSign XC5 lineup consists of two models, the XC2055 and XC4055. Both models offer HTML5/graphics engine to-date, with graphics performance improvement of up to 10X compared to their predecessors.
Both models support 8K output – one model offering dual HDMI-out (up to two 4K or one 8K) and the other offering quad HDMI-out (up to four 4K or one 8K).
The new XC5 models represent an upward expansion of BrightSign’s media player portfolio, as the LS, HD, XD and XT models will continue to be sold into the channel.
BrightSign’s new media players will be demonstrated exclusively at InfoComm 2022, with further information about specs, pricing and availability coming in Q4 of this year.
