## BrightSign Recommendations

These recommended devices should be used to achieve the best video performance including gapless playback. This performance cannot be guaranteed on lower tier models due to hardware limitations.

**Series 5:**

- XC
- XT

## Key Performance Factors

These factors will directly impact the content playback performance:

- GPU
- Processor
- Dual channel memory (2 × 4GB is faster than 1 × 8GB)
- Memory type (DDR4 or better)

## Use Case Considerations

These recommendations will differ depending on the use case the system is required for. Depending on the use case a more powerful system may be required or a more cost-efficient system may be sufficient. A variety of considerations must be taken into account to decide the system needed, these include:

- Number of screens/monitors connected.
- Resolution (Full HD, 4K etc)
- Frame rate (30fps, 60fps)
- Interactivity (Sensors, touch)
- HTML animations
