• Rotation (Mjpeg only): Specify the clockwise rotation of the streaming video.

• Time on screen: Specify the duration (in seconds) that the stream will be played. This option is only available in

or Media End event.

Audio Stream

The following players can stream audio from a remote source: AU320, XD230, XD1030, XD1230, HD220, HD1020. To

add a stream, specify a State name and a URL for stream. If you are adding a stream to a non-interactive playlist,

specify a Time to play (in seconds). For more information on supported formats, codecs, and bitrates, please see the

Audio Streaming Support FAQ.

RF In (ATSC)

Note: The RF In state was changed significantly in BrightAuthor version 3.7.0.12. If you have an RF In project from an

earlier version of BrightAuthor, you will need to recreate the presentation with a new version of BrightAuthor.

This state displays live video that is passed to the BrightSign player through the RF Input. This feature is available only on

the XD1230. Before you can display video from the RF Input, you must first perform a channel scan on the player while it

is connected to the cable source: You can do this prior to publishing the presentation (via the RF Channel Scan interface)

or during the presentation (via the Tuner Scan state).

Note: A Media End event will trigger on an RF In state only if the video bit rate of the tuner input drops to 0Mbs.

1. (Optional) If you’ve already performed a channel scan on the player, you can use the “ScanResults.xml” file

generated by the scan on the SD card to enable the Channel name and Select different virtual channel options:

a. Click the Browse button next to Specify RF channel scan file.

b. Locate the SD card or USB flash drive you used to perform a channel scan on the player.

c. Open the “ScanResults.xml” located in the directory.

2. In the Select channel section, determine which channel will be played upon entering the RF In state.
