CHAPTER 7 – BP900 AND BP200 BUTTON PANELS
The BP900 and BP200 button panels are LED-based touch devices that allow you to add interactivity to your BrightAuthor
presentations. These button panels are compatible with any BrightSign device that has a USB port.
There are a total of six event icons: BP900A, BP900B, BP900C, BP200A, BP200B, and BP200C. The letters A, B, and C
correspond to USB ports. If the event you are defining is for a button pad connected to USB port 1, use A. If it is for a
button pad connected to the second port, use B. Let’s say you are using an XD1132 and, therefore, have two available
USB ports. If you want to connect two button boards, a BP900 and a BP200, you would use the BP900A and BP200B
icons to define events for each.
Using BP900 and BP200 Events
1. Make your presentation interactive by clicking Interactive in the upper-right side of the playlist area.
2. Define the BP900 or BP200 interactive event:
a. Choose the proper event icon based on what kind of button pad you are using (BP900 or BP200), and how
many button pads you are connecting.
b. Define the BP900 or BP200 event as you would any other event. See Chapter 4 – Making a Presentation
Interactive for details.
Note: If the icon you need is not in the toolbar, click the toolbar arrow in the upper-right portion of the screen to
add it to your toolbar. Or, you can click the
Events tab and drag the icon to the playlist area.
c. The BP900 Event or BP200 Event window will automatically open. Specify the following parameters for
your event:
• Specify Button Number: Select a button on the button pad that you want the user to press to
transition to the next state.
Important: Specifying Any Button will enable only the button numbers used in other BP200 or BP900
events in the presentation (or numbers enabled in the
Presentation Properties > Buttons window):
