Hello: I am new with HD210. I have three units and I need to do the following: I need to make an application in a PC that control 3 units. Each one will have three buttons: play, stop and pause. I will program in Visual Basic. Can I control these devices with my PC? If yes, can you send me a demo file and guide me please? Thank you very much.

    You can send commands to your brightsign over the serial port or over ethernet using udp.

    For the commands you describe, you could create a simple brightauthor project that would start playback, stop, and pause. See below.


    We don't have a fixed rs232 list because you can create your own commands to control the unit. You can do this either using brightauthor where the serial or udp strings you use are up to you. The strings can be used to change from one file to another.

    I'm including a link to a video that shows you how you can send commands to playlists created using brughtauthor.

    Additionally, you can control the unit using a script. I'm attaching a control script and readme. This control script defines a fixed set of playback commands (Play, Stop, Search, Loop, Pause, Resume, etc). Just copy the autorun and your content to a flash card and you're ready to send commands. The script also provides feedback when a command is received, when a file is found, when a file loops, etc.

    You can also download the files from this link:
