UDP network triggers

UDP triggers let a screen start playback in response to a simple UDP network message on the local network — a fast, low-overhead way for other equipment to cue content.

What you configure

• Enable UDP triggers on the device.

• Address (URL) the device listens/sends on, and the port.

• Delay — an optional delay (milliseconds) before playback starts after a playlist is set, to line up with other equipment.

Typical uses

• A button, PLC, or controller on the LAN sends a UDP packet → the screen plays a cue.

• Synchronise signage with external show-control or industrial equipment.

• Local, internet-independent triggering inside one site.

Setup notes

Because it's network-level, the triggering device and the screen must share the network and agree on the address/port. Set it up with impressBox and confirm triggers fire reliably.
