BrightSign digital signage software
Run Fugo on purpose-built BrightSign media players for reliable, high-performance 24/7 signage. Provision, schedule, and manage rock-solid commercial screens at scale via BSN.cloud.
Commercial-grade players built for mission-critical screens
BrightSign media players run BrightSignOS — a solid-state, purpose-built signage platform trusted for always-on deployments.
Commercial-grade reliability
BrightSign players are engineered as dedicated signage appliances, not repurposed consumer streamers. That means predictable 24/7 playback and a stable BrightSignOS runtime, so your screens keep running in airports, transit hubs, retail, and other mission-critical deployments.
No moving parts
A fanless, solid-state design with no spinning drives means fewer points of failure and a longer service life on the wall. Players run cool and silent behind a screen, which keeps hardware failures — and site visits — to a minimum.
Rich hardware connectivity
Drive screens over PoE, GPIO, and serial (RS-232), and build synchronised video walls straight from the player. Higher-tier XD5 and XC5 models add the horsepower for multi-zone layouts and demanding, high-resolution content.
Proven at scale
Fugo on BrightSign supports landscape and portrait orientation, multi-zone layouts with two concurrent video streams, App Store apps, live webpages, and offline media playback. It is a platform built to be deployed by the hundreds and managed as one fleet.
Supported BrightSign models
Fugo requires BrightSign firmware 8.x or newer and 2 GB RAM or more. Series 5 players are recommended for new deployments; older supported models still run Fugo well on the same firmware baseline.

Get a BrightSign player live in three steps
Provision Fugo on your BrightSign player and pair it to your account via BSN.cloud. The whole flow takes minutes per player and rolls out across a fleet from one place.
Download the Fugo package
Grab the Fugo player package for BrightSign, ready to deploy to your Series 5, 4, or 3 players on firmware 8.x or newer. It installs Fugo as an app that launches automatically and boots straight into your signage.
Deploy via bSN.cloud
Provision the package to your players through BSN.cloud and roll it out across your fleet from one place. New screens pick up the Fugo app without a technician touching each device by hand.
Pair your screen
The player shows a pairing PIN — enter it in Fugo CMS to connect the screen to your account and start publishing. From that moment the screen is live and every content change publishes over the air.
A full-featured signage suite on every BrightSign screen
BrightSign delivers rock-solid playback on the wall; Fugo CMS gives you everything you need to design, schedule, and manage the content that runs on it.
Design content in Fugo studio
Build slides and layouts in Fugo Design Studio, upload your own media, or start from a library of industry templates. Everything you create renders cleanly on BrightSign — just remember to use WebP or JPEG rather than PNG.
Manage every screen centrally
Group, tag, and monitor BrightSign players from one cloud dashboard. See what is online at a glance, capture remote screenshots to confirm what is playing, and manage hundreds of screens as a single fleet.
Schedule content with precision
Set start and end dates, day-parts, and recurring schedules so the right content plays at the right time. Push urgent takeovers across the network, or line up seasonal campaigns weeks in advance.
Extend with app store apps
Pull in live data from the Fugo App Store — social feeds, calendars, news, weather, and more — or embed live webpages. BrightSign plays App Store apps and webpages natively, so your screens stay fresh without manual updates.
Provision and manage players with bSN.cloud
BrightSign players are provisioned and managed through BSN.cloud, so you can roll Fugo out across a whole fleet and keep every player up to date. Push the Fugo package to new screens without touching each device by hand, capture remote screenshots to confirm exactly what is playing, and update the Fugo app on your players remotely — all from one place. It is the same operational model whether you run five screens or five hundred.
What BrightSign players can play
BrightSign supports a broad set of media and signage features with Fugo. One caveat worth knowing up front: PNG images are not supported on BrightSign — use WebP or JPEG instead, and Fugo handles the rest.
Images
JPEG, JPEG 2000, WebP, SVG, and GIF are all supported. PNG is the one exception — it is not supported on BrightSign, so export stills as WebP or JPEG for crisp, reliable playback.
Video and audio
Play MP4, MPG, MPEG, MOV, and AVI video, plus MP3 audio. Multi-zone layouts can run two concurrent video streams, ideal for a menu board alongside a live promo or ticker.
Documents and apps
Show PDF documents, live webpages, and apps from the Fugo App Store. Both landscape and portrait orientations are supported, and media plays offline once cached on the player.
Remote monitoring
Capture remote screenshots to verify what is on screen from anywhere, and push remote Fugo app updates to keep every player current. LS4 models need a constant network connection for stable operation.
