AMX InspiredSignage XPress Programming Guide
Interactivity
Introduction
In addition to static control of displays through an IS-SPX-1000, AMX InspiredSignage XPress allows
interactivity between the device and an end user. With the use of AMX touch screens and other touch-enabled
displays, you can create interactive banners, menus, and other presentations that encourage user involvement.
Creating interactive content
Creating interactive content through XPress, such as creating a menu or controlling displayed media, uses a
combination of JavaScript programming and the use of templates designed for this purpose. These templates
are available at www.amx.com. Creating interactive content for the IS-SPX-1000 requires configuring the
device to allow enabling events and configuration of touch screens.
Interactivity template files
Open the Interactivity folder in the My Templates tab of the Workspace pane to view the individual files. These
files include:
