Sending Commands

You can send UDP Commands using the

Commands

field in the UI. Simply touch one of the command buttons
to send the UDP Command string to the currently
connected player.

If you would like to affect multiple players with a single
command, please see the

UDP Commands with Multiple

Players

section.

Changing User Variables

You can also use the BrightSign App to change the value
of User Variables. User Variables have various uses in
BrightAuthor presentations: You can display them on
screen like dynamic price tags, or you can use them
as

conditionals targets

in a presentation (for example, by

configuring the presentation to play a different video if the
variable is equal to a certain value).
