Creating interactive presentations (HD410, HD810, HD1010, and HD2000 only) With BrightSign you can create presentations that respond to input from the user (capabilities vary by model, see Product Specifications for details on features supported by your model.) 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). Using Excel to create interactive presentations BrightSign can play a sophisticated sign that is described in an interactive playlist. An interactive playlist is a simple text file that contains a list of information separated by commas. Using Microsoft Excel, you can create an interactive playlist to describe a sophisticated interactive sign using a text table. The table describes which media to play, and which media to play when a user presses a button or triggers other events. A good example of an interactive playlist is the one used in the BrightSign demo. You can run the demo to see what it does, and then modify it to meet your needs. 1 Run the demo as described in the introduction. 2 Find the file AUTOPLAY.CSV in the zip file and copy it onto your desktop. 3 Double-click AUTOPLAY.CSV to open it into Microsoft Excel (you must have Excel installed on your computer. If not, you can load it into any text editor, but the file won't display in table format). 4 Edit the file to meet your needs (see Keywords for a description commands you can include in your interactive playlist file). 26 • •
