The BP900 and BP200 events specify the action that occurs when a specific BP900 or BP200 button is pressed. The BP900 and BP200 button panels are LED-based touch devices that allow you to add interactivity to your BrightAuthor presentations. These button panels are compatible with any BrightSign player that has a USB port.

Enumeration

There are a total of six event icons: BP900A, BP900B, BP900C, BP200A, BP200B, and BP200C. The letters A, B, and C correspond to USB ports. If the event you are defining is for a button pad connected to USB port 1, use A. If it is for a button pad connected to the second port, use B. Let’s say you are using an XD1132 and, therefore, have two available USB ports. If you want to connect two button boards, a BP900 and a BP200, you would use the BP900A and BP200B icons to define events for each.

Defining BP900 and BP200 Events

Once you've added a BP900/BP200 event to your presentation, determine the parameters that will activate it:

  • Specify Button Number: Select a button on the button pad that you want the user to press to transition to the next state.

Important

Selecting Any Button will enable only the button numbers used in other BP200 or BP900 events in the presentation (or numbers enabled in the File > Presentation Properties > Buttons window): For example, if you have defined BP900 events for buttons 1 and 4, then a BP900 event set to Any Button will trigger for buttons 1 and 4 only.

  • Press (First Touch): Select this option to have the transition occur the moment the button is pressed.
  • Press Continuous: Select this option to have the transition occur only after the button is continually pressed for a certain interval of time. Specify the repeat interval (in milliseconds).
  • Transition to new state: Select this option to have the presentation transition to a new state when the event occurs. Use the dropdown list to specify a new state.
  • Return to prior state: Select this option to have the presentation return to the previous state when the event occurs.
  • Remain on current state: Select this option to have the state remain unchanged when the event occurs.
