Chapter 3 – Creating Presentations

RF In (ATSC)

Note: The RF In state was changed significantly in BrightAuthor version 3.7.0.12. If you have an RF In project from an
earlier version of BrightAuthor, you will need to recreate the presentation with a new version of BrightAuthor.

Note: We do not recommend displaying an RF In state at the same time as a

Live Video

state (in two different video

zones, for example).

This state displays live video that is passed to the BrightSign player through the RF Input. This feature is available only on
the

XD1230

. Before you can display video from the RF Input, you must first perform a channel scan on the player while it

is connected to the cable source: You can do this prior to publishing the presentation (via the

RF Channel Scan

interface)

or during the presentation (via the

Tuner Scan

state).

Note: A

Media End

event will trigger on an RF In state only if the video bit rate of the tuner input drops to 0Mbs.

channel scan

on the player, you can use the “ScanResults.xml” file

generated by the scan on the SD card to enable the

Channel

name and Select different virtual channel options:

a. Click the

Browse button next to Specify RF channel

scan file.

b. Locate the SD card or USB flash drive you used to

perform a channel scan on the player.

c. Open the “ScanResults.xml” located in the directory.

2. In the

Select channel section, determine which channel will

be played upon entering the RF In state.

detected during the channel scan (i.e. the smallest
detectable channel number).

b.

Channel name: Displays the channel with the specified
name. To use this option, you must first specify a
