Setup process (Vidireports 7.9.4.0 and above)



1- Setup the player


Start your BrightSign Player like you would normally do: connect a display, along with a keyboard or Ethernet cable, and power it on. You'll find more information on BrightSign's support site. 

If necessary, upgrade the OS



2- Upgrade the firmware of the player 


  1. Download the Vidireports firmware from the Software Page
  2. Copy the .bsfw file with Vidireports onto the SD card, create the “quividi” directory, and plug it into the player. It will perform the installation just like a “normal” firmware. 
  3. After the installation, the player will reboot and VidiReports will automatically start when the player is powered and a USB camera detected. 


If you remove the SD card while the player is running, restart it after plugging the card back. 



Note : In addition to the « quividi » directory, the SD card may contain typical content for the player (movies, BrightAuthor generated files, etc…).



Player registration


  • Go to the OEM page for BrightSign: https://vidicenter.quividi.com/next/oem/brightsign/. Now that your player is running Vidireports, a Box and Location have been associated to it. In order to access the data generated, we need to move them in your network (For more information about this, please review this article)


  • Select your network in the list
  • Locate your player serial number on the back then enter it on the page



  • Name the location that will appear in your network.
  • Send the request to Quividi - Under 48h, the locations and boxes will appear on the specified network. You can then move them to site if needed.


Accessing Vidireports Control Center


In order to access the VidiReports Control Center, you will need a PC on the same network. Open a web browser (Chrome is recommended), then enter the following URL, replacing the IP by your BrightSign machine IP (the default logins are admin/secret): http://23.76.60.180:9080/
