What it does

The Wall connects to every BrightSign player on the museum LAN and shows a live thumbnail of what each one is displaying. From the same window you can reboot players, drive synchronised playback from the Q-SYS Core, and keep an eye on which units are healthy — without walking to the rack.

Features

Live monitoring wall

A tile per player with an auto-refreshing screenshot, online/offline status, and network diagnostics. Refresh as fast as every second; full-screen any tile.

One-click reboot

Reboot a single player or the whole fleet at once. Used to recover a black screen or restart playback.

Q-SYS sync

A built-in bridge lets the Q-SYS Core reboot the players and start the 16 audio zones in step with the video — one Play button rebuilds the whole experience.

Player Scripts

Back up and update a player's on-device script over the network — no SD-card swap, no site visit.

Boot profile

See, per player, how long it took to come back online, plus model, firmware, network mode and content size — to spot a slow unit. Every reboot is logged by date automatically.

Compact view

Scale every player into one window — a single-column strip with no wasted space, handy for a glance or a screen recording.

Bulk setup

Import all players at once from simple text files; copy the IDs Q-SYS needs from a built-in table.

Auto-update

The app checks for a newer version on launch and offers a one-click download. You're reading the page it points to.
