Creating interactive presentations

With BrightSign you can create presentations that respond to input from the user. For example,

you can let customers choose which video to watch by pressing the button associated with the

video of their choice. Interactive presentations also respond to user input from touch screens,

mice, serial or USB keyboards, and barcode scanners (see

Supported input devices

for a

complete list of supported input devices). To accomplish this with BrightSign, you need to

specify the input device, and you need to do either of the following:

•

Use Microsoft Excel to create a control table and use the BrightSign interactive playlist mode

(see the next section,

Using Excel to create interactive presentations

for details).

•

Create a custom control script (see the next chapter,

Working with Scripts

for details).
