BrightSign, a digital signage media player manufacturer, is set to launch its XC5 media players for digital signage. The hardware will be the first new players unveiled by the company in nearly two years, according to a company press release.
«To call our new XC5 media players an evolution of our existing media player lineup would do them a disservice. We’ve created the market’s most powerful solid-state media players by making exponential leaps in performance that simply can’t be matched by competitive offerings,» BrightSign CEO Jeff Hastings said in the release. «But we didn’t build these new players on specs alone. We worked closely with many of our top CMS partners to understand the performance and usability features they value most. Their feedback was invaluable as we refined this new offering, and we’re confident that our newest hardware will be embraced by our partners across the industry.»
The BrightSign XC5 lineup consists of two models, the XC2055 and XC4055. Both models support 8K output — one model offering dual HDMI-out and the other offering quad HDMI-out. The XC5 models represent an expansion of BrightSign’s media player portfolio, as the LS, HD, XD and XT models will continue to be sold into the channel.
