Event

Description

Zone Message

Use this event, combined with the Send Zone Message command, to affect changes from
one zone to another across multiple

synchronized

players with multi-zone presentations.


When the

Zone Message Event window opens, specify the zone message trigger. Note:

The same event/trigger must be defined for each transition you want synchronized.

Link Zones

Works similarly to the Zone Message event, but with more limited functionality. Only use
Link Zones commands and events when you require close, millisecond-level
synchronization of content between zones on the same player (as opposed to
synchronizing across players).

When the

Link Zones Event window opens, enter the trigger in the Specify link keyword

field, and then click

OK. Note: The same event/trigger must be defined for each transition

you want synchronized.

GPS

Sets the action that occurs when a BrightSign unit, connected to a

compatible USB GPS

device

, enters or exits a defined geographical region.


When the

GPS Event window opens, select whether you want the event to trigger as the

device enters the defined region or leaves the defined region. Set the center of the region
by entering the

Latitude and Longitude. Then, define the circular size of the region by

entering the

Radius in Miles or Kilometers.

Note: You can create more than one enter or exit region by adding multiple GPS events to
a single state.
