Backups
• Automatically backup BrightAuthor presentation files: Check this box enable automated saving of BrightAuthor
presentation files. Specify how often you want a backup to occur.
• Backup a maximum of this number of backups: Specify how many backup copies of a single presentation can
exist. Once this limit is reached, BrightAuthor will begin overwriting backup copies beginning with the oldest file.
RF Channel Scanning
Before you can use the RF In state to display live video, you will first need to perform a channel scan. You can perform a
channel scan either as an independent action (similar to setting up a player) or as a state in an interactive presentation.
The user interface for the Scan Setup window is the same for both methods. See Chapter 3 > Tuner Scan for more
information about using channel scanning in an interactive presentation.
1. Navigate to Tools > Setup RF Channel Scan.
a. Channel Map: Select QAM, ATSC, or ATSC and QAM (consult your
service provider for details).
b. Modulation Type: Select QAM 64, QAM 256, or QAM 64 and QAM
256 (consult your service provider for details).
c. First RF Channel (optional): You can choose to limit the range of the
channel scan by selecting the first channel to scan.
d. Last RF Channel (optional): You can choose to limit the range of the
channel scan by selecting the last channel to scan.
Note: Each channel takes approximately one second to scan. Specifying upper and lower limits will reduce the
amount of time it takes to perform the scan. You should only use these two options if you are familiar with the
channel map of the cable source.
2. Click OK and write the channel scan settings to an SD card or USB drive.
3. Power off your BrightSign XD1230.
4. Insert the SD card or USB drive into the player and power it back on. The progress of the channel scan will be
displayed on screen.
