Playing an interactive presentation
With BrightSign HD410, HD810, and HD1010 you can create an interactive presentation that
responds to user input from buttons or any other GPIO device that is connected to the RS232
port and generating serial commands. The HD 810 and HD1010 also support input for
interactivity from USB devices such as
touch screens, mice, keyboards, and barcode scanners,
and the HD1010 also supports input for interactivity via the Ethernet port.
To play an interactive presentation, you need an interactive playlist. An interactive playlist
is a spreadsheet file that contains a list of information separated by commas (CSV file). The
interactive playlist describes which media files to playback based on the user's input. For a
complete list of supported devices and instructions on creating an interactive playlist, see
the
User Guide at: www.brightsign.biz/support/userguide.php .
NOTE: If you're outside the United States, check the regional settings in Excel and make sure
the list separator is a comma and the decimal separator is a period.
