UDP Event
The UDP Input event triggers when the BrightSign player receives a UDP (User Datagram Protocol) message from another device on the local network. Source devices can include tablets/smartphones running the BrightSign App, other BrightSign players, and PCs/Macs.
Specify UDP input: Enter the UDP message string that will trigger the event. You can also use the
<any>wildcard to match some or all of the UDP message string (i.e., entering<any>in this field will match all UDP messages, while enteringmycommand_<any>will match any UDP message that begins withmycommand_).Label: Specify a label for the UDP command button in the BrightSign App. By default, the command label will be the same as the UDP message string.
Show in BrightSign App: Display the command button corresponding to the UDP Input in the BrightSign App.
Assign input to variable: Assign the content of the UDP message to a User Variable.
Input specifies variable: The UDP message string will dynamically specify which User Variable to modify. The UDP message string must be sent in the form of
<variable name>:<variable value>.Specify fixed variable: The UDP string will modify a fixed User Variable. Use the dropdown list to choose which User Variable the UDP input will modify. The UDP string must be sent in the form of
<variable value>.
You can use the Input specifies variable option to modify more than one User Variable with a single event. Use the following UDP string format:
<variable name>:<variable value>!!<variable name>:<variable value>
Assign wildcard to variable: Specify the value of a User Variable using the
<any>wildcard. Select the User Variable to modify using the dropdown menu to the right. The Specify UDP Input field must contain the<any>wildcard, either by itself or with additional text (e.g.,message_<any>).
