transforms and other page elements. By default, it will place the video on top of all other video and graphics in the
presentation. For a complete explanation of HWZ mode, refer to the

HTML5 Best Practices

guide.

Specify user stylesheet: Specifies a user stylesheet for the HTML page associated with the state. Use the
Browse button to select the .css file you wish to utilize as the user stylesheet. Every HTML5 state can have a
different user stylesheet, even if the states are being used to display the same HTML5 page.

Live Video

The 4K1142, XD1132, and XD1230 models support Live Video through the HDMI Input port.
Note: We do not recommend displaying a Live Video state at the same time as an

RF In

state (in two different video

zones, for example).

To add a Live Video state, select a Video or Images or Video Only zone. Under the

Other tab, drag the Live Video

icon to the playlist area. To edit the video volume and time on screen, double-click the thumbnail in the playlist area.

SignChannel

To add a SignChannel state, select a Video or Images or Video Only zone. Under the

Other tab, drag the

SignChannel icon to the playlist area.
Note: SignChannel content can only be in one zone of your presentation.

Local Playlists

A Local Playlist allows you to customize which Dynamic Playlist is used in a presentation depending on the player. For
example, if you are using BrightSign players at a dozen different locations, and the presentations are the same except for
variations in the content of the Dynamic Playlists, you only need to create, edit, and update one presentation that uses a
Local Playlist rather than a dozen that use different Dynamic Playlists.

1. Click the

Other tab in the Media Library.

2. Drag and drop a Local Playlist where you would normally add a Dynamic Playlist.
3. Enter a unique

State name.
