Zebrix Content Trigger Box: Quick start guide

The zebrix content trigger box is a device for displaying predefined content on one or more screens when a dry contact is closed. The device supports up to 7 different dry contacts. The content is displayed only once or until you close another contact depending on the loop/noloop parameter.

Equipment required:

• the external power supply provided
• a network cable
• a wired internet connection
• a HDMI cable
• a display
• a keyboard
• a mouse
• one or more buttons (up to 7)

You can connect the button(s) to the pin pairs of the GPIO pin marked on the diagram. (5;6), (9;10), (14;15), (19;20), (25;26), (29;30), (33;34).

Connect all the cables, finish with the power supply to switch on the equipment.

• clientname=NAME OF ZEBRIX CUSTOMER ACCOUNT

The clientname, username and password parameters are the zebrix account accesses from which the zebrix content trigger box system can connect. This zebrix account does not have to be admin to work but it must be able to assign content to the screen the system is targeting.

For this account the two factor must be deactivated.

If the account changes its password on zebrix, it will also have to be changed in the equipment configuration.

• buttonX=Screenid|contentType:contentId|noloop

The X must correspond to the button number assigned to the pin pair to which the button is connected (see diagram on page 1)

Replace screenid with your screen ID.

To find the screenid :

1. Go to the list of screens
2. Click on the cogwheel at the end of the line of the target screen

• Then click on the monitoring tab
• Copy the number to ID

scheduling, page or playlist

You can choose the type of content between page or playlist.

scheduling

Allows you to configure a dry contact to return to broadcasting planned content on zebrix, the contentid must then have the value 0 and must be configured in loop.

Replace contentid with the id of the page or playlist registered in the zebrix system.

To find the name of the page or playlist to be displayed, simply go to the playlist or page tab and edit the playlist or page. The id searched is the number after the last “/”.

noloop Returns to schedule mode after the end of the broadcast loop plays in a loop, until another dry contact is pressed.

First, unplug the keyboard, mouse and monitor connected to the equipment. Then to start in a normal mode of operation, simply disconnect and reconnect the power to the equipment.
