13 Playing Media with BrightSign Media can autoplay from a CompactFlash card upon power-up, play via a script on a CompactFlash card, or be tested us ing the serial shell commands. NOTE: On an HD600, video will come out the VGA connector , and the resolution will be 1024x768 unless you have changed this in your .
14 2. Go to www.rokulabs.com/brightsign and download the “autoplay.zip” file. This contains a script named autorun.bas. C opy autorun.bas into the root directory of your CF card. 3. Insert the CF card into the BrightSign, a pply power, and after a few mom ents, the video should play and auto loop.
15 1. Create the script using a text edito r (see th e script section of this manual for more information) 2. Save it to the root directory of your CompactFlash card with the nam e “autorun.
16 Playlist s A BrightSign playlist is a text file that e nds in “.bsp” (BrightSign Playlist). It contains the names of the files to play, in the order th ey should play. Files are played in sequence, one after the next. This means that it is not currently possible to have a playlist that plays audio and a video at the same time, for example.
17 Playlist Commands Here is the list of commands th at can appear in a playlist: .bmp, .mp3, .mpg, .vob , .png (HD2000 only) Any line that is a file name that ends in one of these extensions is played. Names m ay contain spaces. .bsp You can call another playlist from within a pl aylist putting the playlist filename on a line by itself.
18 audiochan # (default is 2 ) Since there are three analog outs, if analog is selected you must also use the "audiochan" cmd: • audiochan 2 -- output 1 (this is not a typo) • audiochan 1 -- output 2 • audiochan 0 -- output 3 volu me # (default is 100 ) Sets the volume to a value between 0 and 100.
19 lighton # lightoff # These two commands are used to set or clea r one of the GPIO outputs. The number can be any integer between 17 and 22. For example: lighton 17 sets LED 0 on the button board. waitbuttonany This will pause until any of the GPIO buttons is pressed.
20 Creating Interactive Displays With BrightSign you can create displays that respond to user input. For example, give the customer options of watching different vi deos depending on which button is pressed.

39 1. Verify autoplay.bsp is spelled correctly 2. Verify that the autorun.bas v1.1 or later a nd autoplay.bsp are both in the root of the CF card 3. Verify you do not have an “autoplay.csv” or “autoplay.mpg” in the root of the CF card. There should only be one autoplay file in the root of the CF card.
40 BrightSign Software Update Fails 1. Verify that the update file is named update.rok 2. Verify the update file is in the root of the CF card, not in a sub-directory 3. Try reformatting the CF card as FAT32 4. Try using a different CF card 5. Try updating from the BrightSign Shell.

42 Appendix Selecting Compact Flash Cards Summary When using a BrightSign Product, your cont ent and scripts are loaded onto a Compact Flash (CF) card. Although the CF interface is standardized, there are a w ide range of performance, com patibility, and reliability issues with different CF card brands and models.
43 speed with BrightSign by placi ng a file on it, and using th e shell “readperf” command (see the BrightSign User Guide on shell instructions). BrightSign Compatibility BrightSign is compatible with most CF car ds, but m ay not be 100% compatible with every model.
44 Device Software (Firmware) and Upgrading The BrightSign is pre-programmed with two prim ary software images: a “Safe Mode” and a “Run Mode”. The Safe Mode software image is write prot ected, and not changed once programmed by the factory. Its main purpos e is to validate that the run mode rom image is not corrupt, and boot the unit.
45 The upgrade process is very safe. If for some reason it fails, for example a power failure in the middle of the update, the unit’s “safe- m ode” will still boot a nd will still perform upgrades as above. Updating from the BrightSign Shell BrightSign works with most CF cards, but is not compatible with all.
46 7. After a few moments you should see the Brig htSign shell appear. It should also show you the software version number. Verify it is 1.0.72 or greater. List of Shell Commands With the shell running, type: help <enter > for a list of commands.
47 imageplay slide1.bm p 1 The current version of the BrightSign so ftware does not support “hot swap” of CompactFlash cards. You m ust put in th e CF card before applying power.
48 Testing Scripts, Playlists, and .CSV An efficient way to test playback is to us e the BrightSign Shell. By using the shell, you can see “debug output”. From the BrightSi gn Shell you can start your script manually and view output from the script.
49 • Add print statements showing names of files read from the flash card • Add print statements showing th e coordinates of a mouse click To begin testing your custom script: 1. Copy your content and script f ile to the compact flash card. 2. Name your script run.
50 Linux Shell (HD2000 only) The HD2000 has a Linux shell that ca n be accessed via the serial port. To access the Linux shell, enter th e fo llowing at the Roku prompt: exit When done using the Linux.
51 7. Assumes logo.bmp is the file nam e of your logo file on the CF card. 8. Reboot the system - your logo should appear Using Your Own Boot Script The script must be self contained. For example, it can't be used to play a playlist or csv file. You can use the boot script to play any content on your CF card (images, audio, and videos).
52 Widescreen vs. 4x3 Discussion BrightSign can be used with widescreen or 4x3 displays. However the use of different display aspect ratios with the various BrightScreen options can often be confusing. In this section we try to clarify what you can expect.
53 • Elo Touch Screens • Many brands of USB Keyboards • Many brands of USB Speakers – HD600 only • Many brands of USB Mouse or Trackballs • Many brands of USB Bar Code Scanne rs (these appear as a keyboard). • Quadravox Serial Button Board • Any “GPIO” button, signal or LED (your custom board or led display).
54 1. DB9 Serial Port - The RS232 serial port can be used to control any serial device or to access the shell. Serial c ontrol is accom plished using BrightScript and the serial object. 2.
