2 Updating your BrightSign Software 1. Unzip the downloaded file and copy the.bsfw file to the root directory of your SD card. 2. Insert the SD card into your BrightSign player. 3. Power on the BrightSign player. 4. Ensure that the yellow update LED is blinking during the update process. Once the player has finished updating, it will automatically delete the.bsfw file from the SD card and reboot. Changes Since End-User Notes New Features Support for 96kHz and 192kHz audio output Bug Fixes (XDx32) Dolby Digital 5.1 audio now plays correctly when it is passed through the HDMI input on the XD1132. (4Kx42) The firmware-update screen now appears again during the firmware-update process. Note that this bug only applied to firmware version 6.0.9, and will only be fixed after the firmware-update process from is complete. Remote Snapshots now correctly represent the opacity (alpha-blending) of videos. 1

3 Developer Notes New Features Hardware-accelerated image decoding for HTML Bug Fixes HTML video that has HWZ disabled ("hwz=off") now works. HTML video that uses WebGL now works. CSS opacity animations now work with <video> elements. Rapidly resizing a video window in HTML no longer causes a crash. HTML video windows with background transparency no longer mask images directly behind them. Video sourced from an HDMI input now works with multiscreen HTML pages. (HDx22) HTML pages with viewport settings in the <meta> tag no longer have a chance of crashing the player. The SetAppCacheDir() and SetWebDatabaseDir() methods on the rohtmlwidget object now work again. The rohtmlwidget object now respects proxy settings specified using the SetProxy() and SetProxyBypass() methods on the ronetworkconfiguration object. Key mappings are now correct for USB keyboards that are used with HTML pages. (4Kx42) Streaming video to a device over several network switches no longer results in video corruption. 2

4 Creating an roimageplayer instance no longer causes the screen to go blank. rourltransfer no longer fails if the server sends a non-fatal alert during handshake. The player no longer crashes if rohttpserver.addgetfromevent() is not passed user data. When a static string is assigned to a member of an associative array within a Run() call, the string no longer becomes de-allocated on exit from Run(). Improvements The HTML rendering engine now uses low-res tiles before loading the full-size images. This improves the performance of some carousel-style pages. When an HTML <video> element is reused, there is no longer a brief black screen before the next video is played. Seamless looping is now supported for HTTP MP4/MOV streams. HTML pages that specify the "X-Frame-Options" header are now be allowed if you call EnableSecurity(false) on the rohtmlwidget instance. Source-specific multicast streaming (IGMP v3) is now supported for GStreamer UDP/RTP. The performance of GStreamer RTSP has been improved. The roxmlelement.parse() method now works much faster when handling text that contains a large number of entities. New roptp object allows you to retrieve information about the network PTP state of the player. 3

5 New ronetworktimeevent object and rosystemtime.getlastnetworktimeresult() method allow you to retrieve information about the last attempt to set the time via the network. Players now contain two custom LLDP TLV fields: subtype 0 contains the player model number (e.g. "4K1142"); subtype 1 contains the player serial number (e.g. "X3H47U000046"). These custom fields have an organizationally unique identifier (OUI) of 90:ac:3f. New rovideomode.gettxhdcpstatus() method allows you to retrieve the current HDCP status of the HDMI connection. The rovideomode.gethdmioutputstatus() method now returns additional information: audio_bits_per_sample, audio_format, audio_channel_count, and audio_sample_rate. The rovideomode.getconfiguredmode() method now returns the additional dropframe parameter. The rovideoplayer.getstreaminfo() method now returns additional information: AudioSampleRate, Source, AudioChannelCount, VideoColorDepth, VideoHeight, VideoFormat, AudioDuration, VideoWidth, VideoAspectRatio, AudioFormat, and VideoDuration. 4
