GPIO Interface Programming - Optional
The MP80RA can be ordered with a GPIO interface to allow customer interaction with the player using push
buttons or sensors. This allows the player to play a video or playlist upon receiving a button press from the GPIO
inputs of a MP80RA media player. Up to eight button inputs are supported. One can easily configure a wide
variety of media to play for each button. An ‘idle loop’ video is played when the video triggered by the button is
not playing.
The actions associated with each GPIO port may be assigned by using the Tools, Button Setup menu in
QuickSign Pro MP80.
Creating the Push Button configuration files with QuickSign:
Start QuickSign on a PC that resides on the same network as the target media player, select the correct player,
click on TOOLS and then click BUTTON SETUP. Assign content via the drop down windows and then click
Load Button Setup to send the media and configuration files over the network to the player. This may take quite
some time depending upon the size of the assigned media.
If you do not have network visibility to the player, the complete configuration and media can be sent to a SD
card plugged into your PC by pressing the Publish button. This copies all necessary configuration files, videos,
pictures, layouts, etc. and places them in the proper folders on the SD card. Simply take the newly loaded SD
card and plug it into the player and the unit will begin to play the files. Sometimes a reboot may be necessary.
Note:
If you load the player with the GPIO pushbutton configuration, this replaces the standard Playlist.
