BrightSign has several generations of players, and several models within those generations, so players can be referenced with multiple names. The tables below clarify which models are included in references such as "XD4" "Series 4" and "XDx34".

Product names are composed as follows: [Family][Model Number]

Each family is identified by a two-letter code that indicates its intended use case or performance tier:

HD: Mainstream, interactive and 4K capable

XD: Enhanced graphics and HTML5 performance

XT: Enterprise-grade, premium features (for example, dual video decode, 8K)

The player model number describes the specific model and its capabilities. Four digits usually indicate the player is an “Extended I/O” player, and the last digit of the model number indicates the player series.

An HD225 player is a Series 5 player. An HD224 player is a Series 4 player. 

HD1025 is part of the HD model family, the four digits indicate that the player is Extended

I/O, and the final digit indicates that it is a Series 5 player.

Breeding Code

In-Vitro Fertilization. In relation to embryo transfers, IVF occurs when oocytes (eggs) are collected via OPU (ovum pick up), and then in a lab, semen is added to create embryos.

Vet Code 6 = ABT? Often if a dairy sees a pregnant animal showing signs of heat they may breed her. When this breeding is entered in DairyComp the animal remains pregnant, but this flag is set so that the veterinarian can determine if she is still pregnant to the original breeding or if she has aborted and is now just another "bred status" cow.

Vet Code 6 = ABT?

Dairy cattle typically have their hooves inspected and, if necessary, trimmed every 4–6 months. A strategic hoof-trimming program might evaluate hooves before first calving, between 60 and 150 days in milk, and before dry-off.

Mastitis is the persistent, inflammatory reaction of the udder tissue due to physical trauma or infection. Symptoms of mastitis include udder swelling, heat, hardness, redness, or pain. The milk may have a watery appearance, flakes, clots, or pus.

Metritis is inflammation of the wall of the uterus, and usually occurs within days of calving. Symptoms of metritis are an enlarged uterus and a foul-smelling uterine discharge.

Pneumonia is lung inflammation caused by a bacterial or viral infection. Early symptoms may include fever, depression, reduced appetite, nasal and eye discharge, salivation, shallow breathing, and soft coughing.

Pneumonia

Lameness includes any abnormality which causes an animal to change the way it walks, and can be caused by a range of foot and leg conditions, including hoof ailments, hock damage, bruising, sores, or cuts.

Lame

Diarrhea in young animals. Scours causes dehydration in calves and is the leading cause of death in calves under one month of age.

Scours

Retained placenta is the failure to expel fetal membranes within 24 hours after parturition. The primary symptom of a retained placental is degenerating, discolored, and ultimately fetid membranes hanging from the vulva.

Retained Placenta

Ketosis is a common ailment that usually occurs in early lactation, when the energy demands of milk production are very high and the cow metabolizes fat stores for energy. Symptoms of ketosis may include reduced milk yield, weight loss, reduced appetite, acetone smell of breath and/or milk, and fever.

Ketosis

Milk fever is a disease characterized by reduced blood calcium levels. It occurs in early lactation, when demand for calcium for colostrum and milk production exceeds the cow's ability to mobilize calcium. "Fever" is a misnomer, as body temperature during the disease is generally not elevated. Milk fever symptoms include tremor in the muscles of the head and limbs until falling to a "sitting" position. Once down, cows may have a dry muzzle, staring eyes, cold legs and ears, constipation, and drowsiness.

Milk Fever

Displaced abomasum in cattle occurs when the abomasum, also known as the true stomach, which typically resides on the floor of the abdomen, fills with gas and rises to the top of the abdomen, where it is said to be "displaced". Symptoms may include reduced appetite, lower milk yield, reduced rumination, and a distended abdomen.
