Hi Seth:  I have used Brightsign/Roku units for several  
years......They are very easy to program with external pushbuttons.  I  
know they have made changes to the models and now offer an authoring  
software - you can go here to see a demo:

http://www.brightsign.biz/presentations.php

Used to be you could use a simple excel spread sheet to create a  
matrix that tied putton push to file....don't know if that is still  
supported or not, but their programming documentation, I see, is still  
there.

In addition, I have found their technical support people to be very  
responsive....posting on their B.B, or sending a message has always  
gotten me a specific answer....they used to use a rs232 connector; I  
would purchase male plugs and solder my wires according to their  
diagrams.  Had these in operation at several sites, one for over 4  
years without a hiccup, except for having to replace worn out flash  
cards that had cycled one too many times...

Holler if you have a specific question and I'll see what I can do to  
not lead you astray (no promises!)
