The USB Capacitive Touch Button Pads offer a demonstration and development platform for implementing button interactivity and LED controls. Two models are available: a 4-button (BP200) and an 11-button (BP900) touch pad. Both models have a USB Mini-B port and are compatible with any BrightSign player that supports USB.

Button triggering and functionality is easily customized in BrightAuthor and BrightAuthor:connected. You can also connect multiple button pads to a single player: see this Tech Note for details.

If you are covering the buttons with other materials:

  • The material must be ¼” or thinner; if too thick a plastic is used, the buttons will not trigger. Acrylic, PC, and ABS surfaces have all been verified to work. 

  • There must not be an air gap between any material you're using to cover the board and the board itself. 

The device self-calibrates on bootup and is not manually adjusted in the player software or hardware, so test your application before deploying it broadly. 

What is the smallest video size supported by BrightSign players?

BrightSign players do not support videos that have a width or height less than 64 pixels. However, a video can be scaled down beyond this limit by making the BrightAuthor:connected or BrightAuthor zone or HTML <video> element containing the video smaller than 64x64. To get the desired downscaling behavior, ensure that the View Mode of the zone is not set to Fill Screen and Centered, or that the <video> element does not have an object-fit=cover attribute.
