Hi everybody!, I'm looking for a way to send an UDP every a given time, in order to notify another system the state of my brightsign unit. Is there a way to manage this? Thanks! (I'm workin on HD224 and HD1010)

    In BrightAuthor use a Timeout Event

    https://brightsign.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/370671873/Timeout

    From the Timeout Event you can use the Send UDP command

    But this will send just one UDP, not a series of them periodically in the current state.

    If you set it to transition back to the state it is attached to, it will trigger repeatedly.

    Yes, I know, but i'm working around with 8-10 minutes duration videos. I need UDP packets to be send every 5-10 seconds.

    Timeout event can trigger regardless of the video duration you are working with.

    You can create a zone in BrightAuthor that only handles Timeout events. That zone would be "transparent", or in other words it would have no visible elements.
