It plugs into the player's 12-pin GPIO connector and gives screw terminals for bare-wire connections to buttons, sensors, LEDs and contact closures. This BrightSign GPIO terminal block is the part to have on hand for any interactive kiosk or push-button signage install.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrightSign players use a 12-pin GPIO switch and LED connector, a standard design made by Phoenix Contact, Wurth Electronics and others. BrightSign's hardware documentation recommends 4-pin or 6-pin pluggable blocks and warns that 12-pin blocks are extremely difficult to remove from the port, which is why a six-pin block is the practical choice. Two GPIO-TB-6 blocks fill the full connector when all eight button lines are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe connector is on the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/brightsign-hd225-h-265-delivers-4k60p-video-on-hdr-hmtl5-standard-i-o-for-gpio-ir\"\u003eBrightSign HD225\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/brightsign-xd235-standard-i-o-player\"\u003eBrightSign XD235\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/brightsign-xt245-powerful-ultra-thin-player-delivering-the-highest-quality-video\"\u003eBrightSign XT245\u003c\/a\u003e, where the GPIO port supplies 3.3V at 300mA to the power pins and can sink or source 24mA on each button pin. That covers momentary push buttons, motion or proximity sensors, status LEDs and dry contact closures from show-control or room-control systems. In BrightSign Author or BrightScript, each GPIO input can trigger a content change, which is how most push-to-play museum and retail displays are built.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/brightsign-xc2055-8k-expanded-i-o-html5-player\"\u003eBrightSign XC2055\u003c\/a\u003e uses the same 12-pin GPIO design when it runs BrightSignOS; GPIO is not supported on XC5 players running Windows.
