DB15-TB10 Adapter

TB12-DB15-S (SERIES 3 GPIO Adapter w/Screws)

 Price Each: $22.00 (USD)

 

This adapter converts the new Series 3 BrightSigns with pluggable terminal block to DB15 Connector.  Order for HMS boards that require the DB15 connector. Use the screws to secure the HMS Board to the adapter. TB12-DB15 ADAPTER Captive Screws

 

 Sync Board (Multiple BrightSign Driver)

Price Each: $40.00 (USD)

This sync-board mounts to the back of the Brightsign (directly plugs into the Brightsign 15 pin GPIO connector) with attaching 'captive screws'. Use for 'sync' of multiple BrightSign players (eliminates custom sync cable). 4 inputs (Buttons) and 4 drivers (Outputs) to drive multiple BrightSigns
