Versatile interaction thanks to expanded connections

The key difference between the standard HD226 version and this BrightSign HD1026 Extended Editionlies in its expanded range of connections. Whilst the base model is optimised for simple video playback, the HD1026 offers you significantly more flexibility thanks to additional USB Type-A and serial connections. In practice, this means you can do more than just play a video; you can actively engage your customers. Whether you want to use a touchscreen to provide information in a retail setting or control external devices such as motion detectors, this player offers the necessary interfaces. This allows you to transform a simple display into an interactive station that responds precisely to your visitors’ inputs. You thus gain a flexible platform for all kinds of customer interactions. 

Brilliant picture quality and intelligent performance

Experience visual content in a quality that immediately catches the eye. With support for 4K video at 60 frames per second and 10-bit HDR, colours appear particularly vivid and contrasts look natural. What sets the BrightSign HD1026 apart, however, is the combination of this high image quality and a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU). This component handles complex calculations for intelligent functions, ensuring that the playback of your graphics and videos never stutters. Even with complex animations or live data feeds, the display remains smooth and professional. This ensures that your advertising messages are always presented in the best possible light and remain technically up to date.

Maximum reliability and easy management

A major advantage of this system is its high reliability in day-to-day use. The player runs on BrightSignOS, an operating system developed exclusively for digital signage. As a result, the device is extremely secure against viruses and unauthorised external access compared to conventional PCs. An internal microSD card slot provides additional protection for your data against theft or loss. You also benefit from the ability to monitor and control the device remotely. Should any adjustments to the content be necessary, you can make them conveniently from your desk without having to work directly on the device on site. This saves valuable time and significantly reduces the costs of maintaining your system.
