BrightSign XC4055-WIN10 – Quad 4K HDMI Windows 10 IoT Media Player

Product Overview

The BrightSign XC4055 Windows 10 IoT player drives four HDMI displays from one fanless unit for organizations that run multi-screen signage software on Windows 10. It pairs an Intel Gen 11 Core i5 processor with 8GB of LPDDR4 memory, a 256GB SSD and an included Windows 10 IoT license. It is a quad HDMI Windows 10 IoT media player suited to extending an existing Windows 10 fleet into video walls, menu boards and multi-display lobbies without changing the software stack.

Product Description

XC4055-WIN10 is the Windows 10 IoT build of BrightSign's top XC5 model. BrightSign rates the XC4055 at twice the graphics power of the XC2055, and it lists hardware decode of four 4K60p streams at 10-bit with HDR10 and HLG. That makes it a strong match for Windows applications that span several displays, such as tiled menu boards, data dashboards or multi-screen lobby content.

The reason to pick the Windows 10 IoT version is consistency. If your signage client, kiosk application or display management agent is certified on Windows 10, this player lets you add four-output endpoints that match the image already running across your sites. The fanless chassis has built-in wall mounting, a locking 19V / 4.7A power supply and a 14-day real-time clock, and the 256GB SSD is installed in the internal M.2 PCIe slot.

Before specifying, confirm your control plan. Under Windows, GPIO, USB-C, IR, serial and 3.5 mm analog/SPDIF audio are not supported, only the power LED is active, and BrightSign's free remote player management is not available on XC5 Windows players. For a project that needs those features, the BrightSign XC4055 BrightSignOS player provides the full I/O set; for two-display sites, the BrightSign XC2055 is the dual-output option. You can compare the full BrightSign player range in our catalog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose Windows 10 IoT instead of Windows 11 IoT for the XC4055?
