Adding Event Handlers
There are a variety of cases in which you might want your presentation to sit at a blank screen. The Event Handler fills
this role as an empty place holder in your presentation. Here are a few examples of cases in which adding an Event
Handler would be convenient:
• You want a blank screen for a Home Screen so no content will play until the presentation is activated
• You want to add a command that is performed before the first file in the presentation plays
• You want the presentation to sit at a blank screen when finished, instead of looping
• You want a video file to remain on the final frame upon finishing, instead of looping
Event Handlers – Although Event Handlers contain no content, you can add commands and interactive events into and
out of them. For example, if you set the Event Handler as the Home Screen and define a BP900 event linked to the first
file, the display will sit at a blank screen until a user presses the BP900 button, and then the first file will begin playing. Or,
if you set the Event Handler as the Home Screen and add a Sync command to it, you can synchronize your
presentations/displays before the first files begin playing.
To use an Event Handler, click the Other tab under Media Library and drag the icon into the playlist area. Double-click the
thumbnail in the playlist area to give a State Name, Set as initial state (Home Screen), and add commands. Click the
Advanced arrow to add commands. See Adding Commands for details.
Define interactive events into and out of the Event Handler as you would with any other state. See Making a presentation
interactive for details. If you define a Media End event after a video and link it to an Event Handler, the video will remain
on the last frame when finished. For other file types such as images or audio, the display will sit at a blank screen when
the files finish playing.
