Use USB Button Panels

usb capacitive touch button pads let you implement button interactivity and led controls two models are available a 4 button (bp200) and an 11 button (bp900) touch pad (see brightsign accessories | brightsign® https //www brightsign biz/brightsign players/accessories/ for more information) 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 presentation settings docid\ a6ali6u szxhuansk6t3 and buttons docid\ rhaeqqttiu8s 69aewhjo you can also connect multiple button pads to a single player as described below the player self calibrates on bootup and is not manually adjusted in the player software or hardware, so test your application before deploying it broadly multiple button panels you can normally connect one bp900 or bp200 button panel to a brightsign player that has usb functionality you can also connect two button panels using models with multiple usb ports however, using any consumer grade usb hub, you can connect as many as three button panels of either type to any brightsign player that has a usb port when a button panel connects to the brightsign player through a usb hub, the player assigns it a letter (a, b, or c) depending on how many button panels are already connected to it no matter which bp type is connected, letters will be assigned to button panels in the following order a > b > c > d here are just a few examples of this behavior bp900a > bp900b > bp900c > bp900d bp200a > bp200b > bp900c > bp200d bp200a > bp900b > bp900c > bp900d even though there are eight separate bp events in brightauthor (bp200a, bp200b, bp200c, bp200d, along with bp900a, bp900b, bp900c, bp900d), you can only use one of each letter in your presentation mapping behavior will be consistent no matter how many times the player is reset however, the mapping may change if you modify the hardware configuration of the usb hub or the brightsign player, or if you apply a firmware update to the player in these cases, retest the mapping after the changes are applied additional notes 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 plastics 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 when specifying a button number for a bp200/bp900 event, selecting any button will enable only the button numbers used in other bp200/bp900 events in the presentation for example, if the advanced zone contains defined bp900 events for buttons 1 and 4, then a bp900 event set to any button will trigger for buttons 1 and 4 only this behavior ensures that it will never be possible to trigger or light up buttons that aren't used in a kiosk or button panel to manually enable bp200/bp900 button numbers in a presentation go to file > presentation properties > buttons choose the appropriate button panel select specify which buttons are enabled
