BrightSign states the HD6 transforms signage into eye-catching, premium interactive experiences with diverse engagement capabilities, ultra-high-definition video playback and impressive HTML performance, making it a practical PC replacement.

The player carries an integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) so it can run AI applications without compromising video or graphics performance.

Ensure uninterrupted content with a secure internal microSD socket. Deliver high-quality visuals on any location using an optional LTE modem.'

Its HTML5 performance level is rated by BrightSign as 'Modular 2D motion graphics' at HD resolution.
