I/O
This page / section pertains to BrightAuthor Classic, our legacy app. BrightSign Author is our latest app for managing content and players.
Development of BrightAuthor Classic has largely ceased and the app will eventually be deprecated and replaced with BrightSign Author.
Many BrightSign models feature a DA15 or Phoenix-style GPIO port for device communication and interactive input/output. Select Input or Output for each GPIO button to indicate whether it should be used to receive or send information.
The "button" numbers described here are not the same as GPIO "pin" numbers: Some pins act as power supply or ground, so they are not included in the button numbering scheme. See the hardware manual associated with your player model to view a mapping of buttons to pins.
